Doc_P Posted March 8, 2017 Share #41 Posted March 8, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Could you please tell us how is the AF on the SL compared to Used on Nikon bodies ? I bought the SL/NIK + Nikon 1.4/105 E - combo as poor man's short tele Lux only for the SL - i do not use Nikon since 2009 anymore. During focusing, the lens overruns the focus-point and nails the focus on the (short) return leg. No scientic investigation done, but the focusing speed seems slower than the 24-90, as heard of here in the forum with the SL/xxx adapters. Nonetheless i was really happy with the results delivered for portraits (high frequency selected) @f1.4 under challenging situations with moving faces / eyes. At f5.6 and landscapes in my other usage case, AF speed is of secondary importance... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Branch Posted March 8, 2017 Share #43 Posted March 8, 2017 I could imagine buying the 4/300 PF for usage on the SL (among others), because that lens is so small and light that I could use it even without OIS/VR. But the bigger the lens the more important is VR. So I do rather use the really big lenses on their "native cameras". The VR of the 4/300 PF was plagued with troubles (in the first tests after release). So not a big loss. I am not sure, if this has been fixed in the meantime. Did not find anyone repeating the tests. Please excuse my ignorance regarding non-Leica systems - but what does VR stand for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephan_w Posted March 8, 2017 Share #45 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I have one and use it with the newest 105/1.4. The AF is reasonably fast and consistent, only a bit noisy. The experience I am having with it is so far much better than the one with the EOS/SL adapter. can you confirm that? Is the lens shown in the EXIF,? PS: Would it be possible to add a TC to this combo (105/1.4 plus adapter)? Edited March 8, 2017 by stephan_w Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Branch Posted March 9, 2017 Share #46 Posted March 9, 2017 Vibration Reduction. Hum! The one thing it does not do is reduce vibration. That is the province of gyro stabilisation etc. Vibration Compensation would be a lot more accurate, even better is Image Stabilisation.

Leica calls it OIS for some reason. [emoji57] Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
premier23 Posted December 3, 2018 Share #48 Posted December 3, 2018 Does this adpater work with Leica SL only or has anyone tested it with Leica T/TL/TL2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only SL On the CL (and presumably T) it flags up a lens error message and a black screen ....... you cannot use it even as a 'dumb' adapter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Nikon mount lenses will not attach physically. post #37 has more details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
