Advertisement Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Hi LBJ2, Take a look here Leica SL2: 47 MP, IBIS and Highres Shot. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I've been wondering this myself. I think I have read, listened to all the SL2 reviews I could find. If there really is some significant weakness in AF as described by Chris, I'd think others would mention too. Chris as we all know is a very reliable/trusted source. Maybe issues were ironed out for production vs Chris' preproduction camera. Edited November 13, 2019 by LBJ2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe issues were ironed out for production vs Chris' preproduction camera. As been discussed, it's AF-C tracking for stills and video is slower than the FF competition that have PDAF. (Z7, EOS R, A7/A9)   If you primarily shoot AF-S you should be OK, as Panasonic's AF-S is blazingly fast as seen in the Q/Q2 and original SL.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

snooper Posted November 15, 2019 Share #50 Â Posted November 15, 2019 Is there anywhere an information about long exposure capability? On the Q2 as ISO rise the max allowed time decreases very fast down to 8" @ Iso 6400 if I'm not mistaking ? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If I understand your question correctly - on the SL2 you can have an exposure of 30 min at 50.000 ISO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted November 17, 2019 Share #52 Â Posted November 17, 2019 I see there are 'only' six user profiles available, two more than the SL and the same as the CL. Any idea why so few are offered? I can't believe they occupy a lot of memory or use a lot of power. I could use a lot more. I typically use: - My default (for quick & dirty shots of the kids). - Flash - Silent (for concerts) - M lenses Given the choice I would add: - Video: L-lenses with manual focus - Video: M lenses - Video: L-lenses with auto focus. And I could add others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a dumb question but can I use my M lenses with this new camera?  Am 6.11.2019 um 16:47 schrieb helged: Yes, but you need an adapter. Leica, like Lica M-adapter L (this adapter will transfer the 6-bit code on the M-lens to the SL-/SL2-body). Cheaper adapters exist, but typically without the 6-bit, M-lens transfer. Apparently, the Leica M-Adapter T works as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, sadly, that kills it for me, and possibly a bunch of others as well. Sounds like the Fotos app is their "solution" to the problem they've had with tethering. Not sure that's a practical answer for the needs of a studio shooter. Time will tell. No, I tried tethering in the store via USB-C and Leica Image shuttle, it worked fine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albireo_double Posted November 20, 2019 Share #57  Posted November 20, 2019 You can but you must move to the latest image manually (does not show up automatically on screen, which beats the purpose of tethering, to some extent) and you cannot apply presets on import. Worse, my SL keeps freezing while tethering (S007 is ok). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've been told..... Supposedly a new version LIS is coming tomorrow along with the release of the SL2, thus the above described proper operation when tethered with recent in-store SL2 testing. As to whether this will cure the SL tethered freezing, I guess we might know tomorrow. Wouldn't that be nice?  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted November 21, 2019 Share #60  Posted November 21, 2019 Yes, I see it, too. SL connections were remembered and work. Function seems to be the same as before. Will try it on the SL2 when possible. The Android 2.0 Fotos app has not appeared yet in the PlayStore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
