My wife has two Leica's and she loves them both. The first one she bought was a V-Lux. I thought it odd for her but, regardless of the fact it's nothing more than a bridge camera (even though it's Leica) the images she has had are stunning. Then she bought a Leica Q. Again, I thought it an odd buy and I wondered why she didn't go for something in a detachable lens set-up. But she assured me that, after handling a few in the dealers, the Q was the one that 'felt just right'. True to form the images from this camera are excellent too. Noises she has been making recently suggest to me that she's considering another. I just hope, this time, she'll opt for a 'lens system' camera..
Me? I'll stick with my Nikon D7000 and (for dirty, wet, mud drenched days) my D5000. And my Bronica ETRSi for everything else. I'm too old and ugly to carry a Leica. people would presume I'd nicked it from someone..!!
I had a nikon d300 until it was well used. Chopped all the lenses bar the 105mm macro and the lens baby 80mm edge, 50mm composer pro.
I had been waiting for a long time for the leica... couldn't get new, but the typ 240 mp is great. Added a novoflex adapter and I can use the nikon lenses. Live view is best. I also got the evf, and that is very useful. I got some looks when I was in Budapest church, looking through the evf whilst the camera was pointed at the ceiling
Perhaps if your wife goes the m route you may be able to use your lenses on it...
I do get tinges of GAS but with no more funds available.... may be later.
I still have a lee filter holder and mount to buy for a none used black piece of lee filters glass... and may be a gorilla pod to support it. thats next on the list...
