As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I purchased a new 90-280 from a US authorized dealer at the end of October as I knew that eventually the tariff would impact the price; what I wasn't anticipating was that they would increase the price WW. I talked to the Leica rep (represents the company for a large swath of the US) at an event and they said that Leica would be increasing prices on ‘some’ of their lenses because of the tariffs, and that Leica would incur part of the burden of the US tariff and not increase retail prices the full 25%. That said, the Leica rep also said that there has been some debate and back and forth on how to deal with the tariff impact and its timing that was shared with dealers and thus the reason why you might see prices that are not consistent across the board yet. All that said, they told me that the full effect of the US tariffs would be in place at the end of this year. As for the lens itself, its wonderful and best in class. Photos in this thread show part of its capability; it’s a marvelous tool and well worth its high $$ entry price.

Jeff S Posted December 12, 2019 Share #603 Posted December 12, 2019 I was told by one dealer that instead of bumping up prices on just lenses, Leica will impose a 10% general increase across products, starting in January. If so, a very socialistic approach. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeinzX Posted December 17, 2019 Share #612 Posted December 17, 2019 The 90/280 is a wonderful lens - on the CL and the SL 2 too. This photo has been made with the SL 2 indoor. Only disadvantage is the weight. Maybe, that on journeys where the SL 2 and the 24/90 will be with me (sometimes I take the CL with me) - I will take the 55-135 with me and use the crop mode of the SL 2. Of course only, if the tele will not be used often. I have to check this, under some circumstances it could make sense. This one with SL 2 and 90/280: Welcome, dear visitor!

farnz Posted December 18, 2019 Share #615 Posted December 18, 2019 On 3/11/2016 at 3:27 PM, wildlightphoto said: The IS of the 90-280 SL lens could be beneficial but for now I'm using a Sony and its sensor stabilization works just fine with the 280 APO as well as with the 60 Macro, 100 APO and the Canon FD 500mm L. If the SL had sensor stabilization it would be 'game over', the Sony would head off to eBay and I'd replace the loaner SL with one I don't have to give back. Hi Doug, Since the SL2 has IBIS do you see that making the difference for you (apart from the improved EVF and 47MPx)? Pete. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
