jplomley Posted January 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Any updates when, and the order in which, the 21-24-28 APO Summicrons will roll out? They’re already past due....Can we expect image quality on par with the other APO Summicrons? Whose buying, and what will you be adding it to?

scott kirkpatrick Posted January 31, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) In an interview with Hugh Brownstone, Peter Karbe said that Leica expects to announce and ship the 28 in 2020 and the 21 and 24 in 2021. I wasn't expecting any news before late Spring. I have an order in for the 24, am using the 35 constantly. Some favor the 28 over the 35, but they will have to wait for it.

jplomley Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted January 31, 2020 Interesting. I thought that they would share similar DNA and be launched all at once. Sort of like the 75/90 and 35/50 were in pairs. Guess not than. Was hoping to add the 21 APO. Looks to be about two years off realistically. Unfortunate.

albireo_double Posted January 31, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2020 I will possibly get the 24mm to go with my 35 and 75. But I am in no rush, because the 16-35 zoom is great (just a bit large and heavy to shoot in the street). Or I may even get a second hand 24 Elmarit Asph again; love the way it renders.

FlashGordonPhotography Posted January 31, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2020 For now the Q2 is my 28. Maybe the 24 to go with my 50 and 90. Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoreserve Posted January 31, 2020 Share #6 Posted January 31, 2020 Using already the SL 35 & 90, Apo 21 would be the perfect addition for my needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRKstudio Posted February 1, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 1, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Try the Sigma 28 Art, it’s a current gen Art lens, like the 40/1.4 and the 35/1.2. Really a solid lens and not much bigger if at all than the Summicron primes. Currently mine is glued to the front of my SL2. The 28 Cron should be out in 2020, and I’m interested to see if it will keep up with the 28/1.4 art. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markforce Posted February 1, 2020 Share #8 Posted February 1, 2020 I am using the Sigma Art 14-24 to cover WA and it’s nice. It pairs with the 50 Apo SL so I m toying with the idea of adding the 90 SL. Of the WA SLs I am keen to see the 21 as and when. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2020 Share #9 Posted February 1, 2020 +1 for the Sigma 14-24mm. I was in the market for the 21mm, not sure whether I still am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
