Advertisement Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Hi ropo54, Take a look here Leica S lenses on SL. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
SaW Posted February 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2020 Hi Rob, beautiful mood in this picture ! What is your preferred focus method with your SL + S lenses ? I'm trying to know if the AF option that is missing with my Pana S1R + S lenses is worth considering for landscape/casual use. If yes, it would be one more + point for the SL2 (there is not many + in my list 😉). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropo54 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted February 4, 2020 SaW, I may usually will back focus, perhaps magnify the image, then snap if I'm comfortable that no manual adjustment is needed. Or, I may rely on focus peaking and a high aperture. (I really have no set routine). I am quite happy with the S lenses on the SL. I am also considering acquiring a Panasonic S1R at the moment, because of the stabilization, too. What are your thoughts on the SL2?

SaW Posted February 5, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) The SL2 gives a better user experience than the S1R : ergonomic, LCD quality, feel of the touchscreen, joystick, shutter release. But it lacks some functionalities (like pip zoom, High Res mode), the tilting lcd (a lot more useful than I thought) and many customization options that are quite fantastic with the S1R. As the S1R is really not okay with wide angles M lenses and lack AF for the S lenses I think I will trade my S1R for the SL2 to gain the M & S lenses advantages.

After renting the S1R, I think the loss of autofocus via S lenses is a major limitation. It was *brilliant* of Leica to make that limit... kind of like Apple soldering in the SSDs in their new machine so you can't aftermarket storage. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaW Posted February 11, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Yep, that plus the fact that the S1R does not cope well with the 28mm Summicron 2016 (11672) I just bought sealed my decision to switch to the SL2. I even see color cast when using the 50mm Apo with the S1R (light but it is there). Btw, what a lens this 50 Apo ! Not cheaper sure but jaw dropping good, I would even go as far as saying S120 mm good (okay, close too) Edited February 11, 2020 by SaW 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aksclix Posted October 14, 2020 Share #20 Posted October 14, 2020 Hi all - any thoughts on the S 70 f2.5 on the SL2 body? Also, is it safe to buy an S 70 that had its AF motor changed? I already have the 120 Nd I do like it but wondering if the 70 would be a good to have? I do have the 24-90 too so want to be sure the 70 would be a good investment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
