The S1R is said to autofocus down to -6 EV. Is SL2 capable of this? I would guess so due to the almost same sensor...but I can not find any evidence. -
It seems that very few people are buying the S1R and the S1, and I have to wonder why. There is no accurate way of determining how many units a dealer such as B&H is selling, but the the number of user ratings is generally proportionate to the number of an item sold, and there are only four ratings for the S1R on the B&H website, which is an indicator that they are not selling very many. In addition, there are four S1Rs listed for sale in their used department at up to a 25% discount. On the DP Review website a reader survey accompanying their review of the camera shows that 31 have it and 23 had it, indicating a 57% satisfaction rate. Compare that to the survey related to the Nikon Z7, where 441 have it and 73 had it, an 86% satisfaction rate. I own the S1R, and I have been completely happy with it. It has everything except style that the Leica SL2 should offer when and if we see an SL2, so why are so few people buying it? It is puzzling to me.

Hello, I am a happy S1R user with three Leica SL lenses. I just added a fourth, the SL-35mm Summicron. The lens is exhibiting some different behavior on my body and I want to know if anyone else with this combination could offer their perspective. Simply put, the lens focus motor seems to "activate" making a small amount of noise when the camera is turned on and in ether single focus or continuous focus mode. The focus/shutter button is not pressed (and eye activated focus is turned off). I can hear the activation noise change as the camera is moved around and pointed at different subjects. This does not happen when the S1R is set to MF. When the shutter button is pressed or focus button is pressed, the lens focuses correctly and the results are fabulous. My other three lenses, SL-75mm, 24-90, and 90-280 do not behave this way; they stay silent until the focus button/shutter release is pressed and they start to focus. that is why this seems unusual to me. My camera is on firmware 1.5 and the SL-35mm is firmware 1.0. I am taking this up with my dealer who is being supportive (I don't want there to be a subtle problem here - the lens is brand new). However, I would appreciate hearing from someone who has the same combination if they observe the same behavior from this camera/lens combination. Thank you! George Pappas
