thighslapper Posted December 30, 2015 Share #21 Posted December 30, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wilson ..... I agree ..... and the 11-23 on the T is in fact a very fine lens ..... works well on the SL but a dedicated 16-24mm would be nice.... and as you say, if a modest aperture then it needn't be too big and heavy...... not at all keen on something like the nikon 14-24 2.8 which had a very exposed front element and was big ..... but I suspect Leica will end up somewhere in the middle with another variable aperture rather than a fixed one.....

Echo63 Posted December 30, 2015 Share #22 Posted December 30, 2015 Given the way Leica are pitching the SL as a professional camera, with fast AF etc, i would love to see them round out the "main lenses" with a wide zoom (14-24ish) and a long prime (400 mm f2.8 or f4 or a 500f4) (a nice powerful speedlite system with remote transmitter would be nice too, like tha Canon RT system. I would hate to see how Leica would price the 400/500 though, given the 24-90 costs 3-4times what a canon 24-70 does, and the Canon supertelephotos are 10-15k AUD That all said, i really think the SL is the future, from what i have seen, at my local dealers, it is a camera i would enjoy using. But work issues me my gear........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrp Posted December 30, 2015 Share #24 Posted December 30, 2015 A macro lens would add to the range, as would AF lenses designed for taking people pics (75-200mm). No point in replicating M lenses at first; AF is less important for wide angles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxo Posted December 30, 2015 Share #25 Posted December 30, 2015 I would consider one of the followind: a fast portrait lens would be great, with AF and IS. a super-wide angel zoom 15-24mm, fits well to the 24-90 a fast 35mm lens with AF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted December 31, 2015 Share #26 Posted December 31, 2015 I'd love to see a 180mm f/2.8 prime and a dedicated 1.7x tele extender for it. The already announced telephoto zoom is just too big to suit me. I don't, however, expect a 180 any time soon. I think a wide angle zoom in the 12-24 range is much more likely. I'd also love to see a dedicated portrait lens for studio work--say an 85mm f/1.4 with image stabilization? The already announced 50mm is just a bit shorter than I would like. Honestly, though, I think we've got a long time to wait. Maybe 2017 before we see more lenses announced. Leica has limited R&D budget, and they have already been pretty busy. If they are going to get a replacement for the M(240) any time soon, I expect that will occupy much of their attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc_rufctr Posted January 1, 2016 Share #28 Posted January 1, 2016 ... I'd like to see a 35mm Noctilux equivalent. It would be physically huge but that would defiantly get Asia's attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lik Posted January 1, 2016 Share #29 Posted January 1, 2016 When I was Nikon photographer of course I had that 14-24 - very good only in decent light - annoying flare and very heavy stuff. In that focal length range I don't need AF - so I would always prefer my M-WATE and LUX 21 instead of a Leica SL super-WA-Zoom. I can say now they work perfectly on the SL. With the SL Leica has obviously a total integration approach of 4-5 systems: SL, S, R and M - and T a little bit. This to me is by far not a poor compromise because of too few lenses. System integration in different formats and lens generations can be a big advantage - in particular for the specific Leica client and user. IMO they should follow this approach consequently and consider very carefully which lenses are really to be developed - also in order to make the equipment not too heavy...

It would be nice, but not my first choice, because the small, tiny summilux 35mm works well with the SL. I suggest following order of appearance: Fast prime portrait lens Super-Wide angle zoom lens fast prime wide angle lens further: e.g. tilt/shift wide angle lens, e.g. 28mm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamdewilde Posted January 7, 2016 Share #34 Posted January 7, 2016 35 Summilux-L (OIS+AF obviously) 80 Summilux-L (OIS+AF obviously) In my hands mid 2017 latest. And I'm happy. Oh and also a early delivery date on the 50 Summilux-L (say mid 2016). Killer performance, but not bland rendering like you get from the Art lenses or Otus lenses. Something very reminiscent of R or M rendering. Even the S-system lenses although not bland, lack something the M lenses and to some extent R lenses have.

I think "killer performance" (at least of the objective kind - excuse the pun) and "not bland rendering" are somewhat of a mutual contradiction in the small format (35mm) world. The 50 APO-M is an illustration of this dichotomy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steppenw0lf Posted January 9, 2016 Share #39 Posted January 9, 2016 As a fourth lens I would like to see a 2.8/100 Macro. I would also like a 135mm 2.4 or even 2.0 (I know I am old-fashioned, and will shut up ;-) and a 1.4x or 2x Converter. (I also know this will never happen).
