scott kirkpatrick Posted December 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) My M 24 Elmarit-asph has a sweet spot at f5.6, although it is still pretty sharp at 2.8. So here's a shot using the SL2 and this lens to drive detail down to the pixel level: Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Hi scott kirkpatrick, Take a look here M lenses on the SL2 -- examples. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted December 14, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 14, 2019 Wold you have 100% crops from edges or corners? Just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted December 14, 2019 Share #3 Posted December 14, 2019 From Scott's larger image, the corners look very clean indeed. Impressive resolution and color. Wonder how the ƒ/3.8 Elmar improves on it. You rarely read much about that lens. Perhaps it's overshadowed by the 21. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but I need to improve a few things to make this a really complete test.

U1000211 copy2 by scott kirkpatrick, on Flickr SL2 with M 24 Elmarit asph So the older lens shows some weakness in the outer third of the frame, compared with the 35 or with the center. To do this properly I need to take both lenses out and move the sun around to the right 10-20 degrees. There's definitely information from this lens across the frame at the 4.5 micron pixel pitch, as there are some artifacts on the tile roofs well to the right and left.

darylgo Posted December 14, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 14, 2019 Thanks Scott, I see the shadows are more open with the (older) elmarit, however the camera may be a factor here, can you comment on this? What do you see from the dng's? I've been tempted by both the 21 and 24 elmarit, great lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) The two shots were taken in different light, one or two weeks apart. Can't compare them that closely. I'll pick a really nice clear day and do some more work. Edited December 14, 2019 by scott kirkpatrick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobster Posted December 15, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 15, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tri-Elmar 16-18-21. I tried the lens last week on the SL2. Mediocre resolution at each focal length. The 47.3 megapixel sensor really shows the shortcomings of this lens which was designed for a whole different class of photography. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted December 15, 2019 Share #8 Posted December 15, 2019 Would be interesting to know the thickness of the SL2's sensor stack. More or less than one millimeter? Just curious again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted December 15, 2019 My understanding is just over 1 mm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf62 Posted February 1, 2020 Share #10 Posted February 1, 2020 M-lenses on my SL2 becomes for me a difficult choice if we step in to the 35mm or 50mm range. I have chosen the APO SL 35mm and M SEM 21mm as prime lenses for now. I have difficulties to decide if I want to keep the 24-90 or sell it in favour for a APO M 50mm/M Lux 50mm and build up a 21-35-50 and later an APO M or APO SL 90mm prime lens kit, as I used to have with my M9/M10 time. A 24-90 is a beautiful lens but heavy, which becomes for me an issue if I use it as a walk-around lens, and actually never missed it with the M-setup.... So asking is probably answering this part of the question... ;) Would be grateful if they're experiences with the APO M 50mm that you can share with me. Is it in the same league as a APO SL 50mm an an SL2? Thanks a lot! Welcome, dear visitor!

ropo54 Posted February 1, 2020 Share #11 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) I have read (and please don't ask where) that the SL 50 1.4 @ f1.4 is on a par with the 50 mm APO @ f2. Most who have the SL 50 summicron rave about it as well. Not sure that there is a "right" answer to your question!
