Leica is a long story. I got my first Leica, the M9 in 2009 with a defect sensor, got another sensor change last year and will sell it soon.
I love the M Monochrom, it simply is a beauty! The puristic design of the camera is the best I know, the files are great to work with.
And I like the Leica lenses.
but I use the Sony A7R almost 100% since I got it. This is a universal camera for my needs and wishes. I use any lens on it like Nikon, Canon, Leica M, Leica R and enlarging lenses.
Focus for the OTUS or the Zeiss 100/2 for example is easy and perfect.
Dierk, you portrait work is first class and amazing. Have you been commissioned yet by some high profile person? Just wonderful!
How do you like the Sony compared to the Leica? I have given up on everything else I have owned and am 100% Sony now. Well, 99% :) I still have a Nikon F6 for film work that I just love.
