Aaron Daniel Posted March 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 23, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, I just purchased my first cinema style lens for the SL2-S and have just done a quick review and first impressions about it here I know some users have wondered how non-Leica lenses perform on this body, so I thought this could add to the literature. I have to say that this lens has been a pleasure to use and edit from– the wide angle is insanely fun to use! However, and I guess I don't really touch on this in the video, I don't think this is a normal walk-around lens like most Leica lenses are intended for. Even the bigger SL lenses can seem normal to walk around with. Because of the gears and almost intimidating appearance, I don't believe this fun wide-angle would be all that fun to roam the streets with. This all being said, I can see this being a fun option for small productions and wedding/event use! Sidenote– You may also notice some wobbling/warping on the sides of the video images, and I believe this is because the SL2-S currently does not properly accommodate for a 20mm focal length with IBIS. Throughout this video I used the 21mm option, so the weird warping becomes apparent when moving a lot Cheers 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those things that you don't notice at first, but it really annoys you once you do. I much prefer other types of stabilization that don't warp the image: gimbal, SteadyCam, or just using a monopod off the ground (the weight dampens vibrations). They are closer to the way our eyes see the world. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
