Leica 19121 Final Thoughts

"Lenses are everything."

My family pictures will be great from now on. Love the camera and accessories that came with this kit. Great Leica DSLR Camera package my kids love it! But I'd buy from Leica again, so they've got that going for them. This, in my opinion is a great camera to start learning on.

"THAT GRIP!"

I mean, I still shoot film with my old F3 and FE and push film. The body is well balanced when using the large Art series of lenses. I have already taken it on 3 vacations. The Leica 10772 has all the tech and features I was looking for in a camera. I can see using this for years before I would feel the need to upgrade.

"THAT GRIP!"

Great camera, great bundle and fast shipping. The battery that does come with the camera lasts a long time. It sucks up way more battery life than the D7100/D7200. K&M still services this camera. This is a great entry level camera.
