But for someone with bad vision (especially using fast lenses wide open for shallow DOF) and/or unsteady hands, a camera with better EVF (with good focus aids and no blackout), or with IBIS, might be beneficial. The SL2, with IBIS, might provide more benefit in this regard than even the SL, and potentially expanding lowlight handholding ability at slow shutter speeds. Tools differ in more ways than one. Just because a sensor is optimized for a lens doesn’t mean the user is a similar match. Jeff Perhaps an M11 with IBIS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this been tested? It would certainly be interesting. That will be true provided the camera captures only the APSC frame out of the whole full frame. I know the Q2 does not do so when crop mode of 35-75 is selected. The entire FF still gets captured. Would not reduce anymore processor processing task then. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted November 21, 2019 Share #23 Posted November 21, 2019 The SL and S! (and presumably also SL2) capture only the APS-C part of the frame when in crop mode, so it is certainly possible that refresh rate could be higher then. You probably wouldn't see the difference in good light, but it could hold up better in weak light, when the refresh rate (and stuff like AF that depends on it) starts to drop. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djinn415 Posted November 21, 2019 Share #24 Posted November 21, 2019 Going completely off topic. It appears the SL2 comes with a protective film on the rear Gorilla Glass LCD screen. Does that mean I wont need to shell out additional dinero for a protective film or tempered glass protector? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted November 21, 2019 Share #25 Posted November 21, 2019 Tempered glass certainly not needed. I would leave the cover on for a few days (if it stays on) before spending money on this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellfleet Posted November 22, 2019 Share #27 Posted November 22, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone know if the SL2 has ultrasonic sensor cleaning like the SL, as there appears to be no mention of it in the manual?

scott kirkpatrick Posted November 22, 2019 Share #28 Posted November 22, 2019 Since you can't switch it on or off, Leica seems to be treating it like MCAS in a Boeing 737MAX -- they don't want to scare the customers with inessential details. But I have read that it is there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

helged Posted November 22, 2019 Share #30 Posted November 22, 2019 Without access to the SL2 manual, for the time being: In AFs and AFc - is it possible to remove auto focus from the shutter button (using the joystick for focussing)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard back from Leica re: sensor cleaning. Hello Mr. Richardson,Thank you for your email. The SL2 does not have the ultrasonic sensor cleaning. Please let me know if you have any other questions.Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,Jennine M.

As far as I can deduce from the manual it should be possible by setting AF mode to manual, and assigning AFs or AFc to the joystick. The joystick should then function as an AF-ON button. It would be great if this really works... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In AFs or AFc, setting the joystick to AF-L give focus on both shutter button and joystic, AE-L give focus on shutter button only (not joystick), and AF-L + AE-L give focus on both shutter button and joystick. The option I am looking for - and want to see - is to fully remove af from the shutter button. No success so far... In MF, the focus is confined to the joystick only for AFs, AFs+AE-L, AFc, and AFc+AE-L. Fine. 12 minutes ago, Edax said: As far as I can deduce from the manual it should be possible by setting AF mode to manual, and assigning AFs or AFc to the joystick.

I am not sure I follow you here; any guidance where to go in the menu-system? 8 minutes ago, scott kirkpatrick said: It works on the SL, so why not on the SL2.? Yes, I use this option all the time on the SL. I don't bring the SL with me now, so I am not able to 'transfer' the SL-settings to SL2. But strange it is...
