Csacwp Posted February 21, 2018 Share #1  Posted February 21, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Are there any reviews or samples/raw files of the 90mm Apo SL yet? I've only found examples of the 75mm. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Hi Csacwp, Take a look here Samples of the 90mm Apo SL. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
MediaFotografie Posted February 21, 2018 Share #2  Posted February 21, 2018 Leica's Newsletter told us they delivered the 90SL since February 8th - but really there are no samples here...  :-(    Welcome, dear visitor!

sillbeers15 Posted February 21, 2018 Share #3 Â Posted February 21, 2018 Are there any reviews or samples/raw files of the 90mm Apo SL yet? I've only found examples of the 75mm. I had put up a side by side comparison shot of SL75 vs SL90 when I tested both lenses earlier but have since deleted the pics after few weeks.

Csacwp Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share #5  Posted February 21, 2018 Wow, impressive stuff. The rendering seems similar to the 90 Apo M/R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phongph Posted February 22, 2018 Share #6 Â Posted February 22, 2018 Hi! I feel the SL Apo 90 vs M Apo 90: same render, but smoother bokeh. So, SL Apo can consider better to buy, except its price is more expensive and can not use for M camera and other non Leica camera. Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediaFotografie Posted February 25, 2018 Share #11  Posted February 25, 2018 ...finally the 90SL arrived on Thursday here - wow, an impressive lens!  My first impression: amazing sharp very nice portraits and bokeh it's really small and light - if you're coming from SL-Zooms or Summilux-SL very fast AF (though not excellent), better than Summilux-SL with FW 3.1  A great step forward with the entire SL System.  I could test the 75SL for an hour some weeks ago; feel the 90SL is a little bit more fascinating and expressive - but booth are superb (and very similar) lenses.  Here are some pics from yesterday (sorry, no portraits) in perfect light (all hand held and wide open):  https://adobe.ly/2ow4mBh     Welcome, dear visitor!

FlashGordonPhotography Posted February 27, 2018 Share #15 Â Posted February 27, 2018 I picked up mine on Monday. No images yet. However the shots of my fridge magnets I have taken to test it for functionality are super sharp. Even wide open. Â It's really quite small and extremely light. A bit longer and wide than the M Summicron but not by a huge margin.A LOT smaller than the SL50 'lux. It also balances on the CL/TL well so it's a viable option for those users as well. On the CL it'll have less DoF than the current M 135 APO on the M10. Â These lenses could do really well for Leica, if they actually get out there and market them properly for both systems. Now I have got mine I have changed my opinion on something. They should have released these much much earlier and before the 50 'lux. I still love my SL 50 but it would have been better for the system to have these first. Â Gordon 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csacwp Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share #16  Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Thanks Gordon, do share some photos soon! It’s either this lens or an M-A for me... tough decision as the 90 SL would be great for my professional work but the M-A is my dream camera for personal projects.

meerec Posted February 27, 2018 Share #17  Posted February 27, 2018 I picked up my 75 // not 90 // on Sunday and use it with my SL and CL. What a lens it is. Mention it here because 75/90 are cousins and I bet equally good. As Gordon says, I’m really surprised with the size of them, much smaller than 50 or 24-90 zoom. And the hood is small and traditional cylindrical shape. Overall fanstastic package and the 75 has taken a permanent space in my bag, in fact it’s glued to my CL. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
