Leica SL3’s phase detection AF seems to be quite good, and we can expect the AF of the S1RII (tentative name), which is said to have the same specifications. Panasonic S1R II (tentative name) will be released at a much cheaper price, so if you are considering an L-mount high-pixel device, it might be a good idea to take a look at Panasonic’s new model before making your decision.
