As in the title, I would like some opinions on a wide angle zoom lens to use on my SL3- S camera, something lighter than either the Leica 14-24 or 16-35 zooms. One that I’m considering is the Sigma 16-28 mm f2.8 zoom that weighs about 300 g less than the Leica L-mount zooms. I suppose another option would be to carry one or more wide angle prime lenses like a 20-21 mm and/or an 18 mm lens. I’ll be bringing a Leica 24-70 f 2.8 zoom , so that covers a fair bit of wide angle perspective. But the landscape perspectives will be fantastic, with much foreground to cover in many images from e.g., Isle of Skye region. I’d like to keep the added weight to 500-600 grams or less. -
I have an M240 with the Epson viewfinder which turns the camera into a virtual SLR. And when that happens I can use any lens which can be adapted to this camera. Currently I use a Pentax 50mm f/1.4 which is not RF compatible but with the VF it works just fine. There are many old K mount zooms and macro zooms available to very attractive prices which would also work just fine. So, my question is, has anyone on the board tried this? And how did it work if it has been tried? There is an abundance of new glass out there for Leicas and it is very good and the prices are very attractive. With that electronic viewfinder a lot of old glass is usable, too.
