chris_tribble Posted March 12, 2018 Share #21 Posted March 12, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don’t have any native SL lenses at present, but I’ve been experimenting with the R 35-70 f4 macro and have been finding it offers a compelling experience. Sure, if weight and size were an issue I’d stick with an M10 + 35 summicron asph - I’ve done this many times and found it’s not been a source of frustration. But it’s proving to be fun to have the zoom with useful macro built in to add variety, and I shall continue to experiment now that I have an SL again. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's parfocal so I'm likely to get it again for video for the ease of manual focusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lx1713 Posted March 13, 2018 Share #23 Posted March 13, 2018 I used the SL24-90, 12VC, 35ZMf1.4, TL11-23, TL55-135 for several trips recently. 24-90 stayed on mostly but all others worked for their keep. 4K video was nice with the TL lenses but the OIS in the 24-90 was real helpful.

IvdP Posted March 14, 2018 Share #24 Posted March 14, 2018 We traveled 3 weeks in Mexico, SL plus 24-90 did a great job. I missed a longer lens, but not very often. Next trip: SL plus 24-90 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted March 14, 2018 Share #25 Posted March 14, 2018 Hard to resist the temptation when packing my bag for a trip. SL is my main colour digital. Recent trip to the US, took 24-90, 21 Summilux, 28 Summilux & Noctilux. Used the zoom almost exclusively. In future, I’d take the SL & 24-90, perhaps one prime (21 Summilux) and TL2 with 11-23 TL zoom. Then I’d change my mind again when packing... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
satijntje Posted March 14, 2018 Share #26 Posted March 14, 2018 75SL Summicron, great little lens for traveling. Just got it today and I love it John Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgo2 Posted March 14, 2018 Share #27 Posted March 14, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I do not like heavy zoom lenses, as I find that they drain much of the enjoyment out of the photographic process. When I travel with my SL these days, I usually take a 28mm or 35mm plus something in the 50-75mm range. This makes for a reasonably lightweight, compact kit that is fun and easy to use. When I am out shooting, I rarely change lenses in the field and don't worry about the shots that I might be missing. I also have a Q that I often carry by itself for use on the street. It is fantastic for that purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VVJ Posted March 14, 2018 Share #28 Posted March 14, 2018 Lately it has been SL + 24-90mm combined with the CL and a number of TL-lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbayon Posted March 15, 2018 Share #29 Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Went to San-Francisco (I'am from Paris France) and took SL 50 1.4; 180 Apo Telyt 3,4 R, 135 Apo Telyt 3,4 M; and a 24 M Elmarit. Carried the SL body with 50 attached with Porta brace strap and two lenses in two Porta brace lens bags attached on my belt! Walked hours and was nearly ok :-) Using 50mm focal lens nearly 70% of time. Lucky enough to see a Falcon 9 launch in the sky of SF at 6:15 AM and thanks the 50 f 1.4 for it's amazing quality at 1.4!
