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.

Too many negatives - sometimes you wish you had AF?

 

Perfectly natural.

Summer ends, in about 5 weeks, any news?

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.

Crazy how big the 50 is compared to the others....

And the 16-35 zoom? That's the lens a lot of us are waiting for and should have been the priority.

Peter Karbe has already said that the 3 Summicrons share the same outer lens barrel as well as many internal components.

I know. But on the picture you see a difference. Maybe there's something wrong with the composing.

April 2018 according to the SL web-page mentioned above.

No they're all the same size. It's just that the others are 'far away'.

That's funny... I had never seen that

They are very fine portraits. I think you have a knack for it.

Not seen that sketch or not seen 'Father Ted' before?

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

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.
