geetee1972 Posted August 11, 2017 Share #41 Posted August 11, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) but after a long day's work, AF is a boon to me. You know, I would be telling an untruth if I said there weren't times I also didn't wish I had AF. It's just that whenever I've done this, I've ended up regretting it.

Advertisement Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Hi geetee1972, Take a look here Leica APO-Summicron-SL 75mm f/2 ASPH. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
IkarusJohn Posted August 11, 2017 Share #42 Posted August 11, 2017 Too many negatives - sometimes you wish you had AF? Perfectly natural. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo Posted August 15, 2017 Share #44 Posted August 15, 2017 The SL website has been relaunched today with much new content including some details and pictures of the primes. The new release date is 'Coming soon' BTW: The 90mm seems to be slightly longer than the 75 + 35 if the picture is correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jplomley Posted August 15, 2017 Share #46 Posted August 15, 2017 And the 16-35 zoom? That's the lens a lot of us are waiting for and should have been the priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the picture you see a difference. Maybe there's something wrong with the composing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted August 15, 2017 Share #49 Posted August 15, 2017 And the 16-35 zoom? That's the lens a lot of us are waiting for and should have been the priority. April 2018 according to the SL web-page mentioned above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee1972 Posted August 15, 2017 Share #50 Posted August 15, 2017 Crazy how big the 50 is compared to the others.... No they're all the same size. It's just that the others are 'far away'. https://youtu.be/OXypyrutq_M?t=2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have a knack for it. Well if it turns out I have I will be very happy. For now the results are at least partly the result of persistence!

steppenw0lf Posted August 18, 2017 Share #54 Posted August 18, 2017 Crazy how big the 50 is compared to the others.... Wrong viewpoint. Nice how much smaller the 3 primes are than the first 3 SL lenses. (Finally a lens of reasonable size.) The big question is the AF speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
