Hello everyone !
I recently found a near mint 550$ Leicaflex SL2 50 year edition, with a 6 month guarantee, working and with good silvering. It seems perfect at first, since I always wanted a purely mechanical camera that could last for years. However, since I already own a Canon A-1 with some FD glass, I wonder if I would be better off buying a canon f1, cheaper, but still mechanical and with a split image (that I think is necessary). As such, I would be able to only have canon fd lenses, and not buy leica lenses
Is there any sense in owning two different systems? Are leica lens that superior to canon fd ones ? Is the SL2 better than the f1 ?
Should I buy it ? Thank you
