chris_livsey Posted October 26, 2016 Share #21  Posted October 26, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Chris, doubtless absolutely true - but we are of course over six years on from my earlier post!  Indeed, and I am not sure to be surprised because: it is about the same price, it hasn't decreased, it hasn't increased. The first option being the most unlikely, but as posted above with Leica prices anything is possible, I am just looking at an SL for only just over £100 and with a 6 month warranty!!

Advertisement Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Hi chris_livsey, Take a look here Leica Vario-Elmarit R 21-35mm f/3.5 Lens. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
michaelwj Posted October 27, 2016 Share #22 Â Posted October 27, 2016 The differences from what I can see from that review http://www.16-9.net/lens_tests/24mmcup/zooms/zoom24mm_f4.html seems to me more than just about sharpness. I understand about compromises, however enough time has probably passed since the Leica Elmarit Vario was designed that others have caught up and surpassed. Of course, it would be nice if Leica would update it's design, though I'm about positive that's not going to happen in the year 2016 and beyond. Â As far as the Leica look, I'd have to see more between the two, and possibly from prints or really nice scans of full images to see the difference between the look of the competing lens. But what I've seen from the test results from the link; it's obvious Leica could do better if they were to design a wide zoom today. They are updating it, it will just be in an SL mount this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
