This was a really insightful review. I recently just sold my Q2 because, while I love the weather-resistance and ease of use (AF, one-handed), it just was sitting on my shelf because I've been picking up my M10 every time I need a camera. I think the difference between the 28mm and 43mm focal lengths completely changes the purpose and way you can tell a story, as you so succinctly described. I guess I'll be picking up a Q343 in about 5 years time when prices drop to what I can afford :)
I actually struggled with that early on, where I’d just reach for my M with a 50mm. Or SL when it was more work related. It wasn’t until I leaned into the unique strengths of the Q system that I found more joy in it.
That's the takeaway for me this morning. That's a hard thing for me personally. It's so true, we're often off chasing off after some "trend" when what we have in front of us is more than enough. I'm not knowledgeable about the tech side of cameras. I had no idea that this kind of specialization was a thing. You're so passionate, knowledgeable and wide-reaching (globetrotting) that this is a compelling read. It must have taken a lot of time to write and develop the flow with the photos. I appreciate the generosity of this post and the obvious love for what you do. Now, I'll go for my walk with an eye for beauty in new places and that question, What do I specialize in?
All informations are so well put together ❤️
Thank you brother. I knew you'd enjoy this read.
See you in a few months ✌🏾
