The maximum CL sets

[Michael Markey]

So far only two native lenses .the 23 and 55-135.

The later is always present because it`s a useful standard lens for equestrian shots.

However  I sometimes swap out the 23 for an M lens either a 50 or 28 summicron or a 90 Elmarit.

Lately though I`ve been relying on just the two CL lenses and hopefully in the future I`ll find a CL 35 lux at a good price and the M`s can go back to their film bodies.

I have owned most of the native CL lenses (except 18/60). I decided to sell them all on. My favourite was the TL 35mm Lux.

My kit for the CL these days for AF is the Sigma lenses 16/30/45/56 and the big daddy 100-400, I also have the 14-24 but I use it mostly on my S1R.

The CL with the 4 Sigma kit (16/30/45/56) I consider to be a decent AF travel set with most options covered and most at f1.4 (45mm is f2.8)

I also LOVE manual focus and with the sale from my TL lenses I purchased a Novoflex M to TL adapter and a selection of Voigtlander lenses (10/21/35/75) again this is a tight, small package for travel that fits into a small Billy bag

My final lenses, I use mostly with the S1R are.... Leica-R Summilux 50mm and the gorgeous Leica-R 80-200 f4.0

 

The good thing is that all lenses can be used with both my cameras depending on what I wish to photograph and thus far all the lenses have satisfied me with regards to IQ.

Forgot about the Sigma 45mm

I would not want to give up the 23/2.0 or 35/1.4 lens in the Cl setup.

I find the 18-56 boring, rather usually bring 12-23 and 35 or 60.

In the evening I like CL+23.

FW 4.0 with crop mode is certainly the best to keep the set as light as possible.

Please not : aperture value is for depth of field equivalency only. Not exposure.

Sigma DC DN lenses seem like perfect match for the CL
