To generalize with Leica quality? - I have read reviews which favorably compare a particular Zeiss lens with a Leica of similar specification - both of which I have owned.

Not sure what “toy boy” means. My original intent was to reminisce about the satisfaction I feel and hear when the trigger is tripped. Why does using a certain type of equipment make You a judge of others? I am not understanding your attitude. I remember how satisfying it was to row through all five years on my BMW while doing the speed of heat on the Autobahn.
Not sure what You mean.
Not sure what You mean.
Perhaps my lack of understanding rather than yours, in that playing with the camera (the toy) seemed to be more important than producing a great pic (more likely with mirrorless) which is always my goal regardless.

Or a medium format Mamiya 645!
What an under-rated camera that was.

I think they must have been Gnomes in your mirror

When people look at an image from a mirrorless camera, they see the difference not just with their eyes, they feel the difference in the depth of their heart.
So which way is your thinking? Which ever - do you mean from the bottom of your heart or the heart of your bottom? - I think the second option would be more appropriate!

True, but that does not obviate the enjoyment of classic equipment, e.g., cars or other objects that offer a manual experience.
A manual gear change provides a choice, which a "clunk click" camera doesn't - except to kick it into touch!

Selling some DSLR gear. Took my D500 in hand and snapped a few pics. Great feeling and sound. That mirror moving up and down brings back fond memories.
Anyone else?

Having been mirrorless since 2008 (with Panasonic M4/3) I guess I am qualified to think that you must be a toy boy as much as a photographer. I shoot for the pics rather than the "Clunk, Click every trip"

Sony RX10ii (fixed Carl Zeiss lens, f2.8, 24-200). V iii and iv have a 20 x zoom - for my photography, not so good, and bulkier.

I bet you can tell the difference in certain prints.
That's a sweeping statement. By "certain prints" do you mean 30x20s and larger? after heavy cropping by a photographer who doesn't have the expertise to fill the frame? and likes to stick his nose on the glass?

20 MP in the right hands will be a whole lot better than 45MPin the wrong hands.

About 25 years ago, I decided to treat myself to a "vanity" watch. I looked at a number of them, including Rolex, Omega, Audemars, Tag Heuer, Omega, IWC, etc. In the end I decided on a Breitling Chronomat. I still wear it, although not every day. It's been serviced several times for CLA, and it keeps superb time, while not quite as accurate as my quartz Seikos and Citizens.
I still see the ads for the fake Rolexes. If you're wearing a fake, no one knows --- but you do.

Depending on the circles you associate with - most will just presume your wearing a fake, and your credibility will take a dive.

Nice pics - but viewing your pic #8 download filename indicates that it's PPd with denoise, sharpen and exposure adjustments, which negate an assessment of your new lens?
