gbealnz Posted March 17, 2019 Share #21  Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) You're not making this any easier Scott, LOL. I hadn't thought of it that way, and I will research the length(s) and compare for example to my 90mm Summicron R. It's the shorter focal lengths that seem to never get shorter, whereas my 35mm Summicron R is "reasonably" short, albeit quite heavy. Appreciate your time. Gary  ***Edit***  90mm Summicron R, plus adapter LR-LM plus Leica adapter M-L is 90mm long. B&H website says Summicron SL 90mm is 102mm. Not a lot in it, except the cost of course.

AZN Posted March 17, 2019 Share #22  Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) FWIW I have the Summilux-R 35mm (ROM).  Pretty large and heavy lens for what it is - especially so when on an adapter on the SL Beautiful images, however, keeping in mind that it is not a landscape lens. Will be interesting to see if the new 35mm SL will be good enough to retire it... Edited March 17, 2019 by AZN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicaiste Posted March 24, 2019 Share #23  Posted March 24, 2019 On 3/16/2019 at 10:48 PM, scott kirkpatrick said: My R Summilux 80, on its R to L adapter, is the same size as the new 75 and 90 Summicron SL If you have several R lenses, you only have to carry one adapter and the R lens hoods are much smaller than the SL’s. In the same camera bag, I can easily put at least twice as many R lenses than SL’s with lens hoods. I mean in volume. The total weight will make it difficult to walk. 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted April 5, 2019 Share #24  Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) You should just think that 47MP 24x36 cameras  are modern day 645 film cameras ; 24MP APS-C are modern day 24x36 film ones. And m4/3 is equivalent to old APS film  And now modern day AF lenses size match up  The question is : did you need 645 cameras in the past ? If not nowadays APS-C are all you ever need to use. Edited April 5, 2019 by nicci78 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
verwackelt Posted April 5, 2019 Share #25  Posted April 5, 2019 I liked my Mamiya7 6x7 and Fuji GSW 6x9. But can not afford a S3 nowadays 😉 At the moment i am torn to the GFX System, but i think it is reasonable to invest in L-Mount system instead… Waiting for SL2 and if price and features are what i like, i will buy it. If not, i tend to S1R… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
