If you want one, go ahead, do whatever you want.

Use the gear thread next time.

>>2699447

>>

>>2699447

They're pretty fun.

The biggest adjustment for me is that I keep turning the aperture ring instead of the focusing ring.

Try a cheap film rangefinder first. You may not like the style of shooting.

OP here,

I shoot professionally (architecture) apart from the lack of tilt shifts.... I dont see a downside to switching to Leica,

Are there any native Leica M lenses? Are there any workarounds for adapting shift lenses to Leica M?

Is Leica shit weather sealed?

The Leica have tilt-shift lenses, but only for the S camera as far as i'm aware. It would just require a simple adapter, if it's the M series, you're interested in.
As for weather sealing, I got a M6 from '89, and i've been out in the pouring rain and snow with it and have had no problems. From what i've heard from the people a know the shoots digital, they don't have any problems with their cameras, besides the battery will last less time, but that goes for all cameras. i'd say as long as you don't go swimming with it, you should be pretty good.

If you want movements a rangefinder is going to put you at a massive disadvantage. they are just not that type of camera. you could probably work something with a visoflex but then you are working with a sort of half assed SLR. The S system as >>2699773 mentioned is just a SLR on steroids, it has the best viewfinder I have ever seen on any camera ever but I have lots of things I would buy before a $30,000 camera.

if you are just looking for better quality than the DSLR then go MF or LF, digital options are available for both but come with their own issues

>>2699818
wouldn't it be possible to use an adapter and a tilt and shift from another brand, with the newest Leica, since it have liveview?

Not op, it was just a thought and you seem to know your shit.
