Actually, I was hoping to see the expressions on the faces of the passengers.  The S100 cost me half of its list price.  But it was like new.  Apparently the result of a bankruptcy.

Hi , could you talk about the S 100 lens a little, how it works on SL2 with adapter and share some photos please.

I am considering it for my collection.

Sigma 70 macro L at f/2.8 on the SL2.  I am only testing out the lens so no work on composition.

From an amateur's perspective, all of the S lenses work superbly on the SL 601, though autofocus is slower than the other native L mount lenses. (I do not have the newer SL2).  

Here are some photos of the S 100 taken with the SL.

I've posted several shots taken with the S 100 recently.  Here's one of them cropped to about 1/4 original area:

This lens seems to be conceived of differently from the other S lenses, more as a throwback to the Mandler style of sharp on-center, forgiving at the sides when wide open, going to sharp everywhere when stopped down a bit.  Click through on this picture to meditate on the rendering of the stamens and the light coming through the flower petals.  So on an S3 it should be the equivalent of an  M75 or R80/1.4.  AF on my SL or SL2 is very accurate, but a bit noisy and slow.

Red-Billed Oxpeckers (Buphagus erythrorhynchus)-   These birds live almost entirely off the food they can pick off large African mammals, which is mainly ticks. You can see the ticks around the Giraffe's eye, ear & on its neck. The birds feed in areas on the animal's body where it's unable to groom itself.

Not posted anything for a long while as I'm mainly using the S1R.

Just down the lane from home .....  SL2. + SL 24-90, the expected sunset was a bit of a let down but the result is nice and tranquil .....

ps ....... for those wondering why I stick with the S1R ...... this is from the S1R with the same processing copied and pasted in LR from the SL2 version (including graduated & radial filters and selective dodging and burning, temp adjustments, texture, sharpening etc) ..... although it's 28mm instead of 24mm and about 15 minutes later. I challenge anyone to find any meaningful differences not attributable to the later time and F/L ...... Even a straight processing transplant results in an identical image  .....

Thanks. I'm still getting to know Silver Efex, but I do love it for B&W processing.

I agree that the sensors are essentially the same so the results can be made as close as you like.  I'm using one of each -- an S1R and an SL2.  I made shots of a Russian church in its odd setting a few days back with both cameras, taking several attempts to get everything right.  The one I liked best was done with the SL2 and an S 100, the second best was with the S1R and the Lumix 70-200/2.8 at 100 mm and f/8.  The third place went to the SL2/100 combination because I chose the wrong time of day and left part of the church too shadowed.  I find the S1R Lumix 2.8 combination (stopped down a bit) easier to use and better stabilized than the  SL2 and 90-280 pairing, but for ultimate sharpness, the Leica lenses always win, and their midtone renderings are sometimes quite special.

If you care about multishot HR rendering (I don't, really), Leica gets it right, and Panasonic's is rather crude but faster in operation, with artifacts 2X the size of Leica's limiting resolution.

After some month of use…
what would you describe the main pros and cons of each camera comparing SL2 with S1R?
