Early days and HK weather a bit wild

I hope to get out this weekend and use it more. Early impressions? Very solid (same as Q2), love the ergonomics of the lens and the aperture ring with the little rest that you can use (switch key to manual), I would like a joy stick control rather than the buttons, and find the recessed button that you press to switch into 35, 50 and 70mm framing hard to instantly locate when held up to eye but like the idea even if it feels a bit gimmicky.

I’m looking forward to testing the 1.7 wide open and also using the macro.

I’m still figuring out my favourite button configurations.

I have an SL as well but can see this becoming my walkabout and vacation camera in preference. I held off buying the Q as I wanted better weather resistance which the Q2 has. I found I never really got to like my T. So managed to get one of the first Q2s here.

I also really like that the diopoter control IS recessed so you don't accidentally nudge it.

The diopter implementation sounds like a nice detail...

I wear glasses to see distance and use a diopter lens on my manual focus film cameras... I take the glasses off when shooting... I never have gotten along very well with the adjustable diopters on my dSLRs. It's always in the details... ; ) Casey

A Question..

If you switch to 35mm and look through the viewfinder, do you see a 35mm view, or do you see 28 with corresponding framelines?

There are some impressions of Q2 on
