scott kirkpatrick Posted June 16, 2018 Share #1  Posted June 16, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I see a few slides on David Farkas' RedDotForum Twitterfeed, and it looks pretty interesting. Does anyone know if there is a video that can be watched over the net?

Advertisement Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Hi scott kirkpatrick, Take a look here Peter Karbe lecture on new lenses at the Leitz Park opening. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
thighslapper Posted June 16, 2018 Share #2  Posted June 16, 2018 Good lord, the 35/2 MTF's look just like closely aligned parallel lines ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted June 16, 2018 Share #3 Â Posted June 16, 2018 Good lord, the 35/2 MTF's look just like closely aligned parallel lines ..... Excellent; I belong to those (few?) never falling in love with the 35Lux-M due to field flatness (or lack thereof) and the tendency for double-edge bokeh. The 35SL looks optically perfect, interesting indeed... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share #4  Posted June 17, 2018 If you have the opportunity to compare the 35 Lux M with the (ten years newer) 28 Lux M, you see just how much lens design has continued to evolve. It seems that the chance to rethink the design of the 35 with internal AF using light elements, and the ability that the SL structure offers of moving each lens element separately rather than having two groups as in the FLE designs is like another ten years advance. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachmanns Posted June 17, 2018 Share #6  Posted June 17, 2018 Yesterday I had the chance to listen to Peter Karbe‘s lecture at Leitz-Park. As far as I remember he said the lens would be available in autumn 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyfel Posted June 17, 2018 Share #10  Posted June 17, 2018 Aka February 2019, if it follows the supposed availability of its predecessors  Autumn 2018 is probably a good guess as it's about 6 months later than the "early 2018" stated in the original lens roadmap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LD_50 Posted June 17, 2018 Share #13 Â Posted June 17, 2018 35 & 50 summicon for SL/CL for autumn 2018 The 35/50 are SL lenses, not CL. They cover the FF sensor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share #14  Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) The 35/50 are SL lenses, not CL. They cover the FF sensor. Given the CL's 1.5X expansion factor, they make sense for use on the CL as well. There is no CL 50/1.4 offering, and the CL 60 APO macro is an f/2.8, so the SL 50/2.0 does fill a gap, and the two 35 lenses would offer two approaches that are similar to the flavors of the 50 SX and the APO 50 SC in the M mount lens line. I have an order in for the SL 50 Summicron, and expect to use it with both cameras. I use one of the M 50s fairly often at present with a CL.

Exodies Posted June 18, 2018 Share #17 Â Posted June 18, 2018 Why would you not live stream or at least put online a video of a company presentation. Especially where there is such a hunger for information as in the Leica world. Could it be that exclusivity is a more important message for them? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the SL lenses can be used on the TL/CL. The question asked was wether any TL/CL lenses were discussed and none were.  I don’t see the Summicrons making up for a missing 50/1.4 in TL/CL mount. There is already a 35/1.4 and the 60 macro isn’t much slower than the new Summicron 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Summilux 50 for SL.  Very big and heavy but excellent.  Are you suggesting a smaller version somehow? I'd be for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted June 18, 2018 Share #20 Â Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) ... Considering APS-C format what would be purpose of 50mm lens forTL/CL? There are already Summicron 23mm and Summilux 35mm TL lens which have FOV of 35mm and 50mm respectively on full frame. Â Any deiidicated 50mm lens would be 75mm FOV, unless question is specifically with respect to short telephoto.
