ropo54 Posted August 7, 2017 Share #2  Posted August 7, 2017 Hi Phongph,  The 75 Lux is supposed to be very similar to the R80 Lux, which I happen to really enjoy for portraits.  I have also purchased a R 80-200 f4, which is soft in a nice way for portraits, and gives one the flexibility of the zoom range. Frankly, you are probably in a good situation now with your M lenses for portraits with the versatility of the 50 apo and the 75 summilux.  I also have a R60 2.8 macro which is just a nice lens to have as well, and is reasonably priced.  For landscape, I have very much enjoyed using the Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 version 3.  Good luck with your selections.  Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scroy Posted August 7, 2017 Share #3  Posted August 7, 2017 Definitely echo the R 60 macro with the SL.  With focus peaking and the long throw of the focusing, produces nice e sharpness and bokeh. Very reasonably priced these days.  Subhash    Hi Phongph,  The 75 Lux is supposed to be very similar to the R80 Lux, which I happen to really enjoy for portraits.  I have also purchased a R 80-200 f4, which is soft in a nice way for portraits, and gives one the flexibility of the zoom range.

tritentrue Posted August 26, 2017 Share #5  Posted August 26, 2017 Just noticed this thread . . . and had just happened to be outside seeing what effect an old skylight filter would have on my R 28-90mm. This lens has a combination of sharpness and tonal gradation that is not apparent in the also superb SL 24-90mm.   Welcome, dear visitor!

Lazytiger Posted August 26, 2017 Share #7  Posted August 26, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here are the ones I own and use on the SL:  Lux-R 80 - perfect portrait lens due to its dreamy rendering at f1.4 which gradually changes to very sharp at f4/5.6. f2/2.8 being kind of a sweet spot between crisp and dreamy (skin-friendly). The bokeh is beautifully soft at all apertures.  R 135 f2.8 - very nice portrait lens, lacking contrast and sensitive to bright light (losing even more contrast). Other than that super sharp with a lovely bokeh and you can always add contrast in postprocessing.  R 180 f2.8 - same as 135, but longer  135 and 180 are kind of a bargain. Bought mine for 620 € - together. My 80 was about 1.300 €.  All 3 lenses are kind of heavy, due to their beautiful all-metal, tank-like design.

fire2368 Posted August 30, 2017 Share #8  Posted August 30, 2017 I've been looking for a mid ranged zoom and finally pulled the trigger on the 70-180. Looking forward to it! Will post my findings when I get it.  Was tossing up between this is the 80-200 and decided for the extra stop over the weight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
