Hi, news for Leica lovers:
https://www.dpreview.com/articles/5674254990/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-leica-sl2?slide=2
Owning 30 Leica M mount lenses, I find this most interesting:
quoted from above, emphasis added: "The SL2 features a new 47MP full-frame sensor, and 'Maestro III' processor. One of the SL's original selling points was a special microlens array, tweaked to deliver optimal image quality when shooting with adapted M-series lenses. The SL2's sensor follows suit, making it potentially very appealing to M-series shooters looking for a practical mirrorless solution - especially for wide-angle lenses, which can vignette heavily when adapted to other systems."
But it is not only vignetting that must be corrected - Nikon Zs can do this, too - but colour shift and corner smearing.
Another question one might have: is the sensor the same as in the Panasonic SR1? If so, then this might be fairly good with M mount lenses, if Leica lets Panasonic use the M mount profiles.
Interesting developments!
