CL as companion to the SL ...

The 11-23 would make my ultrawide spec, BUT isn't useable on the M-D or on the SL for full-frame capture. I figure the Voigtländer 10mm f/5.6 would be a better choice for my particular insanity. I mean, who really need autofocus with a 10mm lens ... really?

Never mind that it's also only half the price...

I have been using CV 10mm on my SL — love it and yes it doesn’t require focussing really.

I have bought the 11-23 zoom for my CL that hasn’t arrived yet and tried it on the SL — a truly lovely lens too.

Agree. But the 4-direction button is not too bad. I miss a back-focus option, though. It could have been the center part of the 4-direction button - I would think.

Does this mean you can only focus with the shutter button?

Unfortunately.

Well, you can always (manually) focus with the focus ring. But for af, the only way to focus is with the shutter button.

That's a shame. Even my little Ricoh GR can decouple auto focus from the shutter. Maybe Leica could address this in firmware with the customisation of button choices.

I hope so - see thread about FW update.
