Advertisement Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Hi Daniel C.1975, Take a look here Apo Summicron-sl 28. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Archiver Posted January 29, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2021 Well spotted. A kit of APO SL 28, 35 and 50 would cover most situations. And cost a fair chunk of money, too. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aksclix Posted January 29, 2021 Share #3 Posted January 29, 2021 Is that date in MM/DD/YYYY format or DD/MM? if it’s the former then it should’ve been on the shelves now 🤔 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillavoider Posted January 29, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2021 this has been posted before, apparantly the lens has been in the wild for ages. i've given up on the crons Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several grand, actually. 😄 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel C.1975 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted January 29, 2021 Ok, sorry to post a known case. And yes, for me the 24 would be the next wish as for me 28 is to near to 35 and I won't double up my 28mm Summaron. On the other hand, just bought the 35 and 75, so a brake for my wallet might not be too harmful But from a summicron-sl point of view 24, 35 and 75 would be my three-lens-kit. cheers 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same with the 35SL - if you order it, it will come. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclectic Man Posted February 4, 2021 Share #12 Posted February 4, 2021 Should be out later this year. There was a webinar this afternoon where the presenter stated that the f/2 apo Sl lenses at 28mm, 24mm and 21mm would be available soon. to an official Leica presentation, but hopefully correct.

Steven Posted February 4, 2021 Share #15 Posted February 4, 2021 Guys, the person who posted it tagged the wrong lens. Happens all the time on the lfi gallery. There was another guy who posted a lot of (beautiful) film m6 shot and tagged the APO 28 SL while he was using the 28 M Cron f2. I contacted him on Instagram and asked him to change. sorry to disappoint. but don’t worry, just a few more days left and the wait is over. It’s here .... 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea about the size of this 28 Summicron? If it will be of modest size, maybe I will update my SL 601 and stick to SL system...

AZach Posted February 5, 2021 Share #17 Posted February 5, 2021 All Summicron-SL lenses are supposed to have same barrel so same size. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, this lens should be amazing like the other APO Crons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplomley Posted February 6, 2021 Share #20 Posted February 6, 2021 It will be another year before one can be sourced, just watch. The roll out of these Summicrons has been nothing short of deplorable, one delay after another. I often wonder just how committed to the L mount Leica really is.
