Advertisement Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Hi jrp, Take a look here SL 50/1,4 data sheet online. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
tom0511 Posted December 5, 2016 Share #22 Posted December 5, 2016 How are we a full year into the SL system and they haven't figured out how to release a lens weighing less than 1kg? Meanwhile we have mirrorless medium format coming out with leaf shutter integrated lenses @ 500g coming out. "Coming out". I bet there are lighter Leica lenses "coming out" as well..one day. I think Leica has been criticized to bring lenses too slow when releasing the X-VArio and the T. Now they focuse on faster lenses and are criticized that the lenses are too heavy. I admit I am looking forward to the Summicrons and wish they came earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamdewilde Posted December 6, 2016 Share #24 Posted December 6, 2016 Why the change of heart about this lens now? I was getting bashed when I told you all it wasn't nearly as good as the Otus or 50APO.. And that the size was silly for the performance.. size:performance ratio is totally off.. Now you guys magically agree because you've seen some charts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephan_w Posted December 6, 2016 Share #25 Posted December 6, 2016 the mtf-graph looks spectacular, especially wide open. I'm really excited about this lens, I'm just worried about the S-system which looses it's superiority PS: The mtf show also that it should have more micro-contrast than the Apo-Summicron!

stephan_w Posted December 6, 2016 Share #27 Posted December 6, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) The field curvature doesn't bother you? not that much. if not to say not at all. If I use a lens like the Summilux then for highlighting some areas within the frame. And I don't see any case when this should be on the outer edges of the frame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put the same lens on the SL and the S you will see the S is not loosing its superiority. Its not only a larger sensor but also a better sensor (DR, color, tonality) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the same sensor as in the 240, just bigger, right? the S-lenses don't show the same amount of microcontrast (according to the mtf). Please tell me that I'm wrong :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted December 9, 2016 Share #30 Posted December 9, 2016 There is more to a lens than MTF and bench tests. Yes the 1kg is heavy but that is 1/90th of my weight and how it feels in my hand is the key, not the weight on a scale. As for MTF. It beats all the others at f1.4 and f2 for the 40lppm. I was very sceptical and wrote that I would not buy it. After seeing initial results, I am tempted. I will go to my local dealer with my cash in pocket.
