Placed 20^th in the challenge.

I'm sure, a lot of information (incl. DoF FF equivalence) can be confusing to some readers, but it's up to them to study photography a but more and lift their confusion. DPR is not an online...

Sure, they need to design a mirrorless FF lens, then.

DoF is an important aspect so stop your obsessive winging...

No, that's not what it means. The lens still collects F4 'amount' of light, not F11. The FF DoF equiv. is F11 due to the smaller sensor.

The 50/1.8 looks large, not to mention the tele zoom; not sure that the mirrorless design helped here.

A quick glance at the comparative to RX1R II specs invites at least a modest amount of reservation to kick in: Q has nearly half the resolution and sensitivity, a fixed LCD, no flash, 130g more...

On second thought, I'll buy it if it passes a minimum quality bar: at least 30' of hand-polishing.

I think Leica rushed this announcement by a week; it's not April's Fool day yet...

11 years ago I purchased my first Pentax, an *ist DL. Since then I've owned a number of Pentax DSLRs including K10D, K-r, K-01, K20D, and a large number of lenses. (Also, I went through a very ...

The Leica lens is not constant F2.8. I'm pretty sure that the Sigma 100-300 F4, a true gem, is only a fraction of Leica's...

Not necessarily, no. Perhaps a bit but in no way worth the price and size/weight trade off.

Bargain-size, bargain-price...

@darngooddesign - is this certain? I've read a lot of disputes about it, i.e., whether X-Pro2 is free of that problem...

@radissimo - Don't forget Ricoh is Japanese, too...

RAW developer used? Iridient?

Have you noticed any 'waxy skin' image output on JPG files?

I second that.
