    some kind of crap.

  • notapic

    > 5000 dollars

    > contrast focusing

    > viewfinder 0.78x

  • Victor

    Citizens who do not need a watering can unsubscribed that they do not need it. Everything goes according to plan ©

    • Maksim

      So the funniest thing is to read diarrhea under the next announcement of “inaccessible technology”.

  • Trueash

    TTX is the number one thing. The design is super! Bauhaus in the camera industry

  • koba

    a great reincarnation of some kind of Panasonic camera. The long-awaited camera for just what $ 5000, which became just a lot during the pandemic ...

  • Kievan

    koba, oh, how wrong you are.
    Right now, when in many countries governments have spent hundreds of billions on "business support", there are a LOT of wealthy citizens (from among those who master and distribute these same billions) able to buy this very Lake for 5 thousand. And this watering can is such a trifle for them, here whole countries and cities are being bought up on the vine ...

    • koba

      I just meant it. there are people and even more of them have appeared who now easily buy yachts, Lakes for them are gifts to their own (and not!) children for their birthdays ...

      • Oleg

        if you do not see the plot then the watering can will not save you

  • Oleg

    The lens 28 \ 1.7 is removed on the watering can. https://500px.com/p/koenjacobs?view=photos

    The number of controls on this camera is amazing)

      Thank you

    I thought all the "watering cans" are quite often rangefinder and vintage, but with a matrix, and therefore not in demand and expensive, but here autofocus, EVI, who needs such retro?

  • Oleg

    I bought this Leica spontaneously, as some bored pensioners usually do. Specifically, I became interested in it after the previous spontaneous purchase of an ES 006 a week ago. Also, when I was buying the SL2S, I managed to persuade the seller to work a little with the ES 007 he was selling, which was noticeably more expensive. Before owning the ES 006, I had never shot Leicas and thought that this brand was for egoists, etc. Of all the Leicas, these three cameras interested me because of the sufficiently large pixel cell, about 6 microns, and at the same time, completely different sensors. Kodak SSD 006 draws beautifully, but has trouble with burnouts, 007 burns less, but the colors are simpler and the shutter sound is not the same (after 006), but of course it is more professionally suitable. Well, and the BCI SL2S, there are adapters for many lens systems and a direct park of Chinese new products. So it is the strangest, since you need to work only with exposure correction in a big minus (on a permanent basis). I went to test it with a Cyclops 1 lens and as I figured out, with the faded and indistinct result, due to the shift to minus. I immediately realized that this is a masterpiece, from the camera without processing you get photos of an advertising level! As if generated by a neural network and heavily processed.. Yes, the listed Leicas lie in colors, due to the lack of AA filters, they set fire to the frame space, filling it with color and light, someone likes it, someone does not.. Personally, I am for it! Someone should stand out from the rest) If we talk about others, then my main favorite camera now is the D780, the only SLR in the world on BCI CMOS, with a pixel cell size of 5.9 microns. I worked with all digital representatives of the main brands.. Even those that simply initially do not pass a certain mat. part.. That is, my requirements for the pixel cell size of camera sensors are at least 5.9 microns and more =). That is, at different times I have had crop and FF from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax K1 (as an exception, the matte part does not pass), Panasonic S1H (far from Leica), also as an exception - SF from Fuji 50s II and Hasselblad X1D II 50c (the latter is good, but the lack of a 3:2 frame standard surprised me, especially considering the year the camera was released, and yes, it is above the level of Fuji!). Well, now I have FF and SF from Leica, and yes, it is worth it, it is hard to carry them as a set, it is time to switch to a dolly) Below is a screenshot with a raw jpeg from the camera.
