Some die-hard Leicaphiles do not like the idea of their beloved Leica lenses being manufactured outside of Wetzlar or Solms dunk The first 2 lenses were made in Japan. I am not so sure about the other ones. I thought the 35mm and the 60mm for sure were made in Germany. Not that it really matters, as long as they are good it does not matter where they are made.

frame-it Posted January 15, 2018 Share #529 Posted January 15, 2018 "ライカが50mm F2のSLレンズを2018年に発売することは確認しました(APOレンズかは未確認。リンク先のライカストアではAPOなしで記載あり)。75mmと90mmのアポズミクロンSLの予約が今週開始されるので、そのときに発表されるはず。" from the link >> "SUMMICRON SL 35/2 ASPHA standard in the photo bagA lens with a focal length of 35mm is a standard for many photographers and is found in many photo bags around the world. The big family of "35: or" soon gets a new member in the form of Leica's classic Summicron design. This time for the SL system. New Summicron-SL 35/2 ASPH is a classic reference lens in a new dust and moisture-tight version.Launched in the second half of 2018 . APO-SUMMICRON-SL 50/2 ASPHLaunched in the second half of 2018. APO-SUMMICRON-SL 75/2 ASPHA short and bright telephoto lensHigh brightness combined with outstanding image reproduction and sharpness makes Leica's APO-Summicron 75/2 ASPH an objective for both the discerning portrait photographer and anyone who wants an objective whose burner offers a bridge between the normal and the telephoto lens. The Dual Syncro Drive ™ lens with two ultra-light lenses makes the auto focus extremely precise and quiet.Launched shortly. APO-SUMMICRON-SL 90/2 ASPHThe portrait photographer's favorite toolFor over fifty years, the name "Summicron 90 millimeter" has been similar to the perfect portrait lens on a Leica camera.

Daedalus2000 Posted January 15, 2018 Share #530 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I believe Leica has released the 75mm f2 (£3,750) today and (maybe?) the 90mm F2 (£4,100). https://twitter.com/leica_camera/status/952908234934947840 http://blog.leica-camera.com/2018/01/15/arndt/ Edited January 15, 2018 by Daedalus2000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveBK Posted January 15, 2018 Share #533 Posted January 15, 2018 So remaining announced lenses on roadmap & current dates: 16-35: April 2018 (same as prior to this announcement) 35/2: Second half of 2018 (was Spring 2018 prior to today) 50/2: Second half of 2018 (new announcement today) 75&90 come in at ~700g and ~$5k each. Overall good news, hopefully the 35/2 doesn’t slip too far out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VVJ Posted January 15, 2018 Share #534 Posted January 15, 2018 A bit unfortunate that the 35mm got pushed back till the 2nd half of 2018... Also the weight is what I expected but I hoped for slightly less to be honest... Interested in the 35mm and the new 50mm, will await reviews and first impressions for the 75mm and 90mm, the 16-35 is no-go for me without OIS. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted January 15, 2018 Share #535 Posted January 15, 2018 We knew the size and could guess the weight and price of the 75 and 90 before now. The interesting remaining element (for me) is focusing speed. They seem to be making a big play about the AF mechanism, as if this is a new approach for Leica. Here's hoping.

scroy Posted January 15, 2018 Share #536 Posted January 15, 2018 I'll really interested in the reviews of the 75mm in terms of AF speed and accuracy. Would have loved to see a macro and a Tilt/Shift lens added to the roadmap, but happy that the 75 will be out soon and 16-35 is still on track.

frame-it Posted January 15, 2018 Share #537 Posted January 15, 2018 speaking of AF speed..the SL 50 summilux price in HK has gone down to 3900$ within this week We knew the size and could guess the weight and price of the 75 and 90 before now. The interesting remaining element (for me) is focusing speed. They seem to be making a big play about the AF mechanism, as if this is a new approach for Leica.

scott kirkpatrick Posted January 15, 2018 Share #538 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) I'm reasonably close to the front of the line for the 16-35 SL at my dealer's. Hope to have one before summer starts. And I'm intrigued by the APO 50 Summicron-SL. Since the APO 50 SC-M is such a special lens, I wonder what the new SL SC will do to top it? P.S. There's a discussion of some details of the focus/distance rendering the closest focus set by a requirement that the tele's can reach 5:1 reduction ratio, and the autofocus engineering. They claim each of the two stepper motors moves only one of the two focusing elements, and that there are innocations in the software control loop for autofocus. at http://blog.leica-camera.com/2018/01/15/new-summicron-sl-lenses/ Edited January 15, 2018 by scott kirkpatrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lx1713 Posted January 15, 2018 Share #540 Posted January 15, 2018 Looks like they are designed as standard containers for downloading lenses assemblies Just insert the right number of assemblies to meet the orders and voila, ready to deliver! Just in time assembly. I wonder how many of the elements, casings and mechanisms are identical for the 75mm and 90mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
