It sounds like the full-frame version of a Fujifilm camera! There's also an excellent selection of lenses that you can use too.
There are tons of fantastic portrait lenses out there. But let's be honest, pretty much everyone talks about f1. 2 lenses all the time. In this post, we're not comparing them all directly. Instead, we're discussing focal lengths due to what we've seen folks type into our internal search engine.
Leica innovated the heck out of the camera with the Leica 1 back in 1925, breaking new ground with the Leica 2 and then the M3. However, not so much in recent years and I argue the "classic" M is now actually holding back Leica's innovation. [Read More]
