The best thing about the SL2 is that you can now get the SL at affordable prices.😅

[taneltinnuri]

Played with SL today., thats probably only DSRL a like camera i would ever buy. Really awsome peace of gear.

[yakattac]

Thanks for talking about the SL2! I'm a big fan of the M cameras and now also the SL cameras!

Yup, I "always wear a camera" but I also "always have no money" 🤣. It's okay though, the pleasure of shooting Leicas and the amazing photos made from it is totally worth it! Keep the videos coming Lord Thor!

The capacity of this camera to use so many old and new lenses so easily makes it a great system just like Nikon

[diegaulle]

Thanks for the video. I hope somebody would put up a good comparison between SL2 and X1D II for people coming from the M system.

[peetje]

Another great video, that strap is just awesome.

[Traveljournalist]

I've just bought it this week ! my only lens is the Noctilux but I'm gonna buy one L lens soon.

[KK-olov]

Does the TL lenses fit on the SL2 with autofocus?

[Thelustigclub]

I guess someone interested in M lenses would probably go for the M10-R. I trying to understand the point of putting manual focus lens on autofocus camera. what would be the quality differences between the SL2 and M10-R in your opinion. Thanks for the great videos.

Thorsten may I know what jacket you are wearing in the clip?

[Biloela]

Great photos of the Sydney Opera House... did not know you have been to Australia... hello from down under

[fredericpousset]

Hello.Thanks for your presentation. I would buy a SL2S. I would use my M Lens (i have also a M10P) but i hesitate between the adaptator Leica ring or the Novoflex (half price). What do your think? Is it a réal difference between the both? Thanks for your respons.

[rahulkapoor]

which third party 85mm lens you recommend ? Sir . and which adaptor we can use with SL2

[magiccarpetrider]

Makes me want to keep my Ms and adapt my Zeiss EF mount lenses to a x1d2 instead. I’ve got Canon R5s too, if I want another boring dslr

[Sniper]

Dear Thorsten, how would you compare the latest Leica >40 megapixels sensors with the previous 24 megapixels sensors in terms of colour reproduction and noise?

[RS-Amsterdam]

Leica Q2 does not have a bigger sensor, same size as the Q, but more pixels. ;-)

[roadboogie]

Question: Using R Lenses on the SL2 what about the editing in lightroom? is there a chance of lens detection by the software? like the 6bit codes on M lenses? i m looking for the sl2 beside my m10 but not looking for troubble while editing and lens corrections by hand. thx and enjoy life.

[artromano]

i dont know about the camera but that uniform is impressive

[Laightwork]

is the image quality as good with M lenses than on the m10 R?

[videorezensent]

"you give it to somebody", "you turn the focus here" - that unfortunately won't work as people don't know what you mean by focus
