To really love a camera it must be a comfortable, fast sportscar, not a mundane commuting experience.
Here’s what I’ve grown to like the most, from the past year of camera releases which I’ve owned and shot with.

An update on L-mount lens compatibility (Leica SL and Panasonic S1)
Just like my forum users, I read a few days ago at DPReview that Sigma won’t be making the MC-21 Canon EF adapter compatible with any Leica mirrorless cameras including the Leica SL.
There is now quite some confusion over whether the adapter is going to work with a firmware update, or never? I am waiting for Leica, Panasonic and Sigma to clarify this. In my view the L-mount alliance shouldn’t be plagued by compatibility issues between cameras and lenses with the same mount, nor should there be political reasons for disabling certain products (or a ‘specification change’ as Sigma put it)!

Did Leica just veto the Sigma MC-21 Canon EF adapter for L-mount? So much for an alliance!
Above: The Sigma MC-21 adapter was to give Canon EF lens owners the ability to use their lenses on all L-mount mirrorless cameras including the Panasonic S1
What’s the point of having an alliance around a single lens mount if the adapters and lenses don’t work on every camera?
That’s the big question Panasonic, Leica and Sigma should be asking themselves today.
