[Leica] The Q Leica

[Don Dory]

I wanted to echo Doug's thoughts on wide angles and the A7 series.  The A7R
handles the Zeiss 15mm F3.5 very nicely indeed.  I think that where Sony is
going with the A7 series is spectacular for folks with good glass  needing
a home.  Especially welcome is real time exposure reinforcement in the
viewfinder.  With shadow and highlight changes showing as you change
exposure compensation and a histogram showing in the viewfinder you are
never in the dark as to where your image is going.
