keithlaban.co.uk Posted April 18, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 18, 2019 Strange they're limiting the trade-in to bodies with a mirror box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted April 18, 2019 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2019 one very "weak" rumor a few months ago was for an SL2 announcement in June.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica had a good trade in deal for the M240 for a while long before the M10 was announced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicaiste Posted April 19, 2019 Share #7 Posted April 19, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) More a respond to the S1. Anyway, because of the lack of IBIS, the SL is dead in my opinion. I would be very surprised to learn it is still made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrp Posted April 19, 2019 Share #12 Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) The choice is between ibis and a larger body or a more compact ibisless body, it seems. That said, Sony seems to manage the best of both worlds. And the SL was at a £600 discount before Xmas, although the S1 had been announced it was still only a paper camera.

Jeff S Posted April 20, 2019 Share #14 Posted April 20, 2019 Indications from some reliable dealers are that the S3 announcement will come in June/July. None of these same dealers I’ve contacted (on other matters) have heard anything about an imminent SL2; instead guessing at something closer to year end...emphasize guessing.

None of these same dealers I’ve contacted (on other matters) have heard anything about an imminent SL2; instead guessing at something closer to year end...emphasize guessing 😟 Oh well, taking on board that that's only a guess, if Hasselblad doesn't announce an X1D Mk 2 this summer there's always the Panasonic S1 or even the S1R depending on its dynamic range at base ISO. I'm still waiting for the DxO numbers for the S1R as I don't trust the Photons to Photos DR charts which don't use measured ISO. But, in common I suspect with others, if I do opt for an S1 or S1R I am less likely to stick exclusively with Leica glass. I can just hear the rumbles of concern echoing through Wetzlar as they realise that Bob may only buy one of their lenses instead of a body and two or three of their lenses. Ok, maybe not. 🤣🤣🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, maybe not. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m doing some comparisons right now, Lumix S 50/1 4 vs. 50 Summilux-SL. No tripod used but at shutter speeds of 1/640 sec. and faster with IBIS turned on it shouldn’t matter. The Panasonic lens is materially softer wide open in the center in every single shot I’ve checked so far. Still need to go through tons of them. It’s a bit shocking. It basically lacks contrast wide open. I’ll post all of them with links to the RAW files, maybe in a dedicated thread. Folks at Wetzlar are probably laughing their butts off. 🤣🤣🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some dealers are expecting otherwise, at least in terms of delivery, and they wanted it yesterday. Jeff Edited April 20, 2019 by Jeff S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
