Ivar B Posted January 11, 2020 Share #1  Posted January 11, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) A while ago I bought a used Canon Compact-Macro 2.5/50mm. It came (at least for us in the Leica world) dirt cheap at about 100 Euros. I use it mostly for images for ads and the like with the Novoflex SL/EOS adapter. This lens amazes me every time I use it. It is razor sharp with very good contrast - even the autofocus is ok. I believe Sigma will release a 70mm Art Macro in L-Mount soon (and Panasonic may have something up the sleeve) but until then, this low cost setup really works. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Hi Ivar B, Take a look here Macro option Leica SL and SL 2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Jeffry Abt Posted January 11, 2020 Share #2  Posted January 11, 2020 I am on a waiting list for a SL2. If one finally does come, I hope to use a Novofex adapter with an old AF Micro Nikon 60mm. I’ll shoot manual focus of course. It looks like the SL2 could turn out to being a versatile camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted January 11, 2020 Share #3  Posted January 11, 2020 While not macro, the SL24-90, on the SL2, is a versatile combo... focusing to .3m (1:3.8) with OIS and IBIS, as well as the obvious focal length flexibility for general use.  I have the lens, but right now it’s useless without the body; still waiting on delivery.

I believe the L-Mount will be here shortly. I have the 1.2/35 and the 1.4/85 in L-Mount. Both are superb lenses. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michali Posted January 12, 2020 Share #6  Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I'm using my old 60mm Leica Macro-Elmarit-R f2.8 on the SL & SL2.  Great lens, underrated.  A good used vers. is around  $500- $600-. Here's a quick shot taken with the SL2 of a tiny miniature rose. Welcome, dear visitor!
