    • I posted a wildlife shot I took with it yesterday in the SL2-S image thread.  I still can't believe I took it with my own camera... magic indeed
    • Dr. G - I too have trouble with the 28, and also sold my Q.  I tried, but couldn't find the magic formula to get comfortable with it.  I asked the original question about the APO 35mm because the vast majority of my shots over many decades occurs with a 50mm lens.  I was thinking that since the 35APO SL lens is a Peter Karbe favorite I might give it a try. Having said that, I don't know how much use it will get, and dislike having great gear sitting around unused.  I tried the Sigma ART 50mm SL f/1.4 and loved the images, but the weight was a factor.  I have the relatively newly released Leica SL-Summicron 50mm f/2.0 ASPH (sold as part of the Leica bundle) that seems to work very well for me.  It's my preferred focal length, relatively lightweight given the L mount size, and balances better than I expected.  I toyed with getting the M mount equivalent, but wondered if it was worth it.  Likely not for image quality, and speed of capture, but I greatly miss having a "real lens" with distance markers and setting hypercritical focus and just enjoying composition. On the other extreme, despite selling the SL 24-90 Elmarit Zoom, largely because of weight, I do miss having a Leica branded lens with the equivalent of 6 prime lenses built into it.  I don't often use a 24, really find the 28 overly challenging, maybe use a 35, already have a 50, can appreciate a 75 for portraits, and maybe have a use for the 90 FL.   It's a heavy beast, and don't really need many of the focal lengths, find it very heavy, and terribly uncomfortable carrying on a strap, and likely wouldn't get much use, just like the first time I bought one.  Despite all of that, I still want one.  Sounds like a typical Leica owner - I can justify anything if I work at it! As I review each person's post, I think it's helped me clarify things a bit.  Neither the 35 APO or the 24-90 zoom will get much use, but like a rarely used tool in a large toolbox, when you need/want it, it's worth having it at hand.  Used prices for the zoom are near $3K or so, the 35mm APO a bit more perhaps.  Still from these levels the downside depreciation doesn't seem too severe.  It may be worth considering. Thanks everyone - other opinions are welcome.
    • Thank you for the reply. I have attached photos of the marks with a circle to show the areas.

    • I am also wondering if its very biased group. I have seen photos classified as master shots that were IMO garbage. An example was a white wall with a blue pain dot on the wall...........really. It was a photo of someones white wall with a blue dot of paint or marker. I have submitted photos for master shot and received no interest and yet the same photo gets hundreds of likes on social media. About 3 months ago I purged my entire gallery so at least they cant use my work for gain.
