I would hope as the L mount is a Leica designed standard, that they will. I know the CL has an OIS on/off in its menu which is a very hopeful sign. I have to admit, I have never mounted my 24-90SL on my CL to see if the menu item is no longer greyed out - I must try that. I would be very interested in the Panasonic 70-200, given it is a far more reasonable size than the Leica 90-280, which I found far too big and heavy, rarely using it, so sold it. I hope Leica will also offer pixel shifting on the SL2. Wilson In the S cameras Panasonic offers a ultra high resolution mode. A sort of pixel shift that combines 8 images that are automatically shot. On the S1R the result is equivalent to “187 megapixel” and on the S1 still equivalent to “96 megapixel”. That will be fun with Leica SL APO lenses, so they can finally show their potential ... 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have no SL Summicrons, but at the moment, I'm using my M10-D - I'm also not much of a 35mm user); 28 Summicron-SL? (now you're talking, but then I already have a 28 Summilux-M, which works perfectly on the SL). I don't really see a need for AF on wides, but then ... I find it easier to focus longer M lenses manually on the SL through focus peaking rather than wides. I find the focus peaking more precise when using wide open, but I guess it depends on use and customs Agree on the Lux and SL, great match, so not sure about wides either, but if they are as spectacular as they are meant to be I can see one between 35, 28 and 21 coming my way whenever available - i.e. in the next decade sometime 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than the software combines the shots. It means that any good lens is capable. Edited February 1, 2019 by ynp 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caissa Posted February 1, 2019 Share #784 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) You forget that the first time they can be used with 50 MP (only 24 until now), so it's the first time they can show what's in them (what Mr. Karbe has constructed). So it is definitely a step up. We have already seen many times that often current lenses are not fit for the 50 MP league.

caissa Posted February 1, 2019 Share #785 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Here the latest firmware 3.4 that supports the new S lenses (Panasonic) from today’s announcement and also fixes the problems with the app (maybe also with tethering ?!). http://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-SL/Leica-SL/Firmware Scroll to the end of the firmware page to download. 👍 Edited February 1, 2019 by caissa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is definitely a step up. We have already seen many times that often current lenses are not fit for the 50 MP league. I agree with you. If lesser Canon lenses cope well with the 50mpx sensor, I’d expect the Leica SL lenses will be good for at least 100mpx. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caissa Posted February 1, 2019 Share #787 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) The problem is that many Canon lenses actually do not very well at 50 MP. At least wide open, stepped down many are ok. I know because I'm also an owner of a 5Ds. The best resolving lens I own for EOS is actually a Sigma 2.0/24-35.

At last year's Photokina, a Leica designer (I've forgotten who) said that L mount lenses are designed to resolve effectively with sensors of greater than 100 mps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caissa Posted February 21, 2019 Share #792 Posted February 21, 2019 Sigma is going to present a roadmap of their L-mount lenses at the CP+ show in Yokohama, Japan, at the end of February. It will be interesting what they will say about compatibility with DFD AF, as their current lenses are probably constructed with phase detect AF in mind. https://www.l-rumors.com/l4-sigma-will-announce-their-first-l-mount-lenses-at-cp/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
