Yellow_78 Posted March 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 17, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, Recently been looking for a Portrait lens. I've been eyeing the SL 90mm APO for quite some time now. Then I went into the Leica store with the intention to purchase the 90 but saw on display the Sigma 105mm 1.4. It is a gigantic lens and weighs a fair bit but at 105 1.4 and at a fraction of the cost of the 90, it does seem tempting! My question is, has anyone tried this with the SL/SL2? wanted your opinions and maybe comparisons with the SL 90 APO. Thanks for taking the time!

Locutus Posted March 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2020 Amazing sharpness, great bokeh etc, but autofocus isn't very fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info ☺️ After thinking about your comment I've concluded that the autofocus and portability of the 90 APO would be a big difference. Although the price tag is way more, the size alone would probably encourage me to take it out more than I would if I had the Sigma. Thanks for your comment. 👍 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SL-Apo-Summicrons (esp. 90&35mm) are a class of their own. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailwagger Posted March 17, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 17, 2020 Slightly off topic but having the SL--75mm and the 135mm ART, I can say that the 135 is a stunning lens, assuming you can deal with the heft. They make a good combo. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got my copy of the 35 APO 2 days ago 😁. Will definitely aim to own the 90 down the line! Cheers 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
