Leica SL vs S lens line up

[nicci78]

Next year SL will catch up with S lens line up. 

Will the S line keep any advantage after a potentially high resolution SL2 ? Except CS function and 64MP sensor.

Sadly SL cannot use CS function of S lenses. Maybe possible with SL2 ?

Middle and long SL zooms also benefit from OIS.

Will be interesting to see what the supposedly soon to be announced SL lens roadmap might newly offer.
