I wonder how would be the experiences of those who used this "Leica Super-Vario-Elmar-T 11-23mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH Lens"? 

 

(Since I only have M lens from 21mm/f2.8 onward, and would be a "big" size on a CL, but still only to be 31mm.)

 

While the "11-23mm f/3.5-4.5" has a wide range but is so slow...  what do you think?  Also what do you think of it's value at $1,900?

The 11-23 and the 35/1.4 make a great 2 lens kit. Not just "great for APS-C". I don't have the 16-35 SL lens yet, but the 11-23 is the best wide zoom I've tried. For example, it trounces the SL+WATE.

How so?

Sharpness, which isn't everything, but the difference is stark.

 

Hmm, my copy of the WATE is extremely sharp. Very comparable to the 21 SEM @ F8, which means the 11-23 is even sharper than the 21 SEM?

My answer after 3 days of use: it is sharp, it is fast, it has this great Leica-colors. It is not very small, but it feels good in my hand. closest distance 20cm, that is great with 11mm (18mm), because then you even have bokeh. And you can make some funny portraits...I am really happy to have an 18mm equivalent with me and at the same time able to work until 35mm equivalent.  I really like it.
