I don’t need/like wider than 21mm. But I am an absolute fan of fast 21mm. So f/2.8 is very appealing. I am just afraid of size and weight. I am really thinking to adopt Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 + 85mm f/1.4 DG DN / Art for my CL. They could be complimentary to my Q2. One giving me the beloved 21mm and the other a kind of 135mm that I liked too. It's a lump of a combo, I do not have a picture to hand but will take one for you and post it here later. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Hi Marac, Take a look here CL + Lumix & Sigma. What’s working, what’s not ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Here is the CL with the Sigma 14-24. I find it manageable. Welcome, dear visitor!

Is the autofocus reliable on your CL ? Yevgeny Based on my experience, this lens doesn’t have focus limit function. As to autofocus performance, because CL is my first mirrorless camera, I think that it is ok on CL and may be better on SL2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks okay but still quite big on the CL. Do you think that the extra weight and size worth it over the Super-Vario-Elmar-TL 11-23 ? Just for one extra stop of light ? I am still not sure about Sigma’s DG DN. Main benefit is the ability to share them between Full frame and APS-C bodies. But it is still quite big.

Main benefit is the ability to share them between Full frame and APS-C bodies. But it is still quite big. I have owned the 11-23 and it's a fantastic lens no doubt, If I only had a CL then I may well of kept it, however I wanted something to fit both my CL & S1R. Yes you get an extra stop of light but also you get very close focus (I love taking close wide angle photos) There is very little difference in IQ to my eyes, I'm very pleased with the sigma 14-24 and although it is bigger, I can still go with it, however, I use it 'mostly' with the S1R. Using it with the CL I have found my copy to be excellent corner to corner even at f2.8 The photo attached is the 14-24 on the CL f2.8 close focus with bright backlight, not going to win any awards but shows how well the lens handles situations and the sharpness at close focus. Personally, I like the lens a lot and extra bit of bulk is a non-issue for me. Welcome, dear visitor!

nicci78 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share #27 Posted September 2, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for sharing your experience. I also like the idea to be able to share lens between APS-C and full frame bodies. I think that I will wait for Sigma to redesign its 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM into a compact DG DN variant. I don’t need zoom. But i think that I will buy the 85mm DG DN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskkyle Posted September 2, 2020 Share #28 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Projecting forward, here is some news. Panasonic today announced the near-future release of four new full frame compact primes: 24mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8, 50mm f1.8 and later an 85mm f1.8. I think these will be very interesting options for APSC, possibly with a similar form factor to the Sigma 45mm Contemporary. I'd be very interested in the 24mm f1.8 as a full frame capable alternative to the 23mm Summicron-TL. Welcome, dear visitor!

nicci78 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share #29 Posted September 2, 2020 Oh yes that’s good news. But I will wait for Sigma’s DG DN lenses. Sadly Lumix S lenses seem not on par with the rest of the industry. Including Sony’s lenses, Canon RF and Nikon Z lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicci78 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share #30 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Hopefully Panasonic and Sigma got the memo : mirrorless = small bodies + small lenses. Sadly Leica is still playing deaf with giant SL2 body and giant SL lenses. Yes even APO-Summicron-SL f/2 will feel huge next to these new f/1.8 Lumix S.

Sigma AFL button on the lens can be customised with Sony bodies. Leica, please update the CL again. We should be able to use every single functionality of any L-mount alliance lens.
