Strengths
  • Rangefinder: quiet, compact and precise manual focusing with an optical finder
  • Full-frame sensor for low light and shallow depth of field
Things to consider
  • Manual focus only, and framelines rather than a through-the-lens view
  • No in-body stabilisation: use stabilised lenses or faster shutter speeds
  • Not weather sealed
  • No viewfinder, which makes bright sunlight harder
  • Older autofocus generation; check shutter count and battery health when buying used
