mikej Posted May 5, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, all - I just went back and looked at the lens specs for my old D2. They are: Leica DC Vario-Summicron • 3.2x zoom • 28 - 90 mm equiv. • F2.0 - F2.4 • 13 elements in 10 groups Now that's a combo I could get behind again - speed and the ideal zoom range on a APS-C sensor. Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted May 6, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 6, 2014 One of the best zooms ever made indeed. However, it was designed for a smaller sensor. On APS it would be really huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guytou Posted May 6, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 6, 2014 It would be enormous, very heavy and to a stratosphérique price ! Let us not dream and let us make simply photos with the current material... Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted May 6, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 6, 2014 Yes, sensor size does make a huge difference. My D2 still gives stunning results within its limitations (A4 is a good practical upper limit. Many illustrations require smaller sizes anyway which is why it is still an a excellent camera) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wk Posted May 6, 2014 Share #5 Posted May 6, 2014 25mm f2.8 - 75mm f4 Oh, and a built in EVF while we are at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prk60091 Posted May 10, 2014 Share #6 Posted May 10, 2014 One of the best zooms ever made indeed. However, it was designed for a smaller sensor. On APS it would be really huge. The lens in the D2 was big & heavy. the weight was the primary reason I sold the D2. Sensor size notwithstanding, I have a a 16 x20 print on my wall that is tack sharp from the D2.
