Tina --

You asked what people think -- while this is not a comment about the
photographs you've taken --.

At the risk of being labeled a Leica basher, I just can't figure why anyone
would want to pay the $$$ for the SL when there is the Sony a7 series out
there for 1/2 to 1/3 the price with many more AF lenses available
immediately, takes all the same lenses, and which are much more reasonably
sized. As an M and a7s user, the SL and 24-70 lens is heavy and enormous.

The SL and Sony really are more-or-less functionally equivalent cameras.

Clearly I do not fall into Leica's target market for this camera but I
can't help but wonder who Leica thinks does.

Dave.
