The diffraction limit is so low (bravo, I respect that) that the lense basically starts to "soften" at f4 if not 2.8.... a limit that used to show at f11-16 on lesser lenses.... or a mere f8 on recent "good" leica lenses. Agree.... (if Leica managed to sneak around diffraction constraints, I guess the engeneering team would be in for a Nobel Prize in physics 😉...) 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1010773 by scott kirkpatrick, on Flickr This photo is illustrative of the general trend it seems. I wonder how well a very high quality, very small set of AF primes would sell. An f/4 set around the size of the Summilux-M, if it was possible, would be of interest to a lot of landscape shooters I would think. I like shooting large apertures so I’m happy with the Summicron SL size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SL lens is just a little bit smaller than the Elmarit-M 28mm and M camera combination 🙁 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1010773 by scott kirkpatrick, on Flickr A bit off topic, but im curious to know how you combine the M10 and M10D? Is it really worth it to own both ? I find that I struggle to choose which to pick up lately, always going for the D in the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted February 21, 2021 Share #168 Posted February 21, 2021 Those are an M10-R and M10-D. I use the -R with a 24 and the two Leica 50s (SL and SC). With the 24 because it has the perspective correction firmware and it's fun to watch the odd-angled frame float around. The -D seems to go well with the 28, needing no extra viewfinder. But that is just how I feel at the moment. It can change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And longer focal, 50 and higher to the M10 or SL2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post any photos at F5.6-F11 at infinity focus? My M Summicron 28 is very good at close focus distance and wide open but infinity rendering is not to my liking. I'm seriously considering SL2-s + SL35 or SL28 lens in the future. How about distortion at infinity/landscape/architectural shots? Any impression yet? Maybe it is just me, but from Jono beach photo it seems all people in the left corner are somehow distorted... @jonoslack I suppose posted photos are free to comment and repost (link) here on LUF, but if I in any way made a mistake, please contact me and I will delete my message immediately. I really like your reviews and find them very helpful. I'm torn between SL35 vs 28 and flare+distortion properties are very important to me... that's why I ask.

The performance of wider M lenses is clearly better on digital M and SL cameras than other brands. Tests are available that prove this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confirm this too, for having extensively tested it (in real life). Deep inside though, I do hope that the A1 will turn things around. At least with my 28 lux. But not too much hope. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
