Watching this I realized I've been watching you for 10yrs now

Sending good vibes your way Matt. My wife also recently had surgery, so I am working and taking care of her and my kids. I think I discovered a new level of tiredness. I hope Molly’s recovery continues to go well.

This is, in my opinion, one of the best introduction to the SL3 so far! Really good!

[JeffreyHauser]

Nice review, Matt. Thank you. No doubt Leica cameras & lenses offer exceptional quality. I am glad to see that Leica is improving autofocus capabilities in each generation of the SL lineup. Best wishes to you & your family.😊

Great review. Down to earth and very easy to understand. Thanks Matt. And prayers for a speedy and full recovery for Molly. Be Blessed. Doc Chaps

[Ralf_Baron]

Very informative, credible and sympathetic video. Thank you!

[JPWineberg]

Speedy recovery to Molly! Great video as always.

My bank account hates this video so much. What an absolutely brilliant look into the new system. Thank you Matt.

Great video. Godspeed to
Molly on her recovery.

[PhilKnall]

Great work as always, too bad you didnt get to do the Wetzlar trip. All the best to you all for Molly's recovery!

[malcolmaliktraining]

Man, great video. You explained everything very well

[timothyplatt]

Love it. Except for the change to the On/Off switch.

I love how you hold it in a way to give the impression that this tank seems light 😅

Hey Matt,

I have been following you for years but inconsistently based upon my photography trends.

First, I am glad to hear that Molly is doing well.

Next, I bought an elephant of a lens from you about 10 years ago - Mamiya 180 medium format lens if I remember correctly. I haven't been using it. If you regret selling it, I will be happy to pay return shipping (assuming I can find the lens - yikes) I am in a place now where I would be happy to return it to you and consider it was a lease if you want it back.

Also, I am planning to buy a Leica SL3 and I greatly appreciate your advice because of my history of following you for 10+ years.

Thanks and take care Matt.

Hi I wish to thank you very much, great job. I will have to want a long time for this one.

[brettmorrison]

Matt, first speedy complete recovery to Molly. I think it was about 10 years ago that I bought a Mamiya 150mm medium format lens from you that I still have. This Leica SL3 is making me want to sell some old Mamiya and Leica film gear to purchase a new digital camera. 🙂

The 90-apo is such an amazing lens. My favourite among the sl-lenses.

[ChristopherBauer-gb]

Beautiful introduction of the new SL Matt. I will stay with the SL2-S. Design is a good portion of the Leica charm for me at least and I find the SL2 and SL2-S the perfect blend of ergonomics and classic Bauhaus ästhetics. With the new SL being less wider but also thicker it looks to bulky for me and now is to much of a resemblance of the big fat Panasonic cameras which are basically from the same camera family. The better specs will not outbalance an uglier camera since we are talking Leica here. But the similar price point to the SL2 will be fair game for newcomers to choose between the beauty and the (spec)beast ....and maybe Im pretty alone with this opinion :).

[frankwu]

The new added dial is so essential. THis would allow me to change ISO much quickly than before. Also the APO SL lenses are amazing, cause I have the 50 APO SL. I adore that lens so so much. Definitely thinking of switching to the new SL3 now for the better AF

Matt without the hat looks like Khabib
