It wasn't that short, two series (2.5, 2.4) over 10 years. I suspect they would have made more if sales were better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Hi BernardC, Take a look here LEICA VARIO-ELMARIT-SL 24–70mm f/2.8 ASPH. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I suppose people are not buying the Summicrons to buy the Panasonics and Sigmas which provide 95-99% of the performance for 1/4 of the price, and therefore Leica is coming out with an "economy line" to lure more people into the Leica stable. Look at the Sigma 24mm, it's about 500€ where I live and it's stunning. I'm pretty sure an APO Summicron version will be even better, but not worth 10x the price for most people. Law of diminishing return etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cboy Posted April 25, 2021 Share #48 Posted April 25, 2021 It be nice if they can do an do an sl version of the 35-70 f4 vario r lens (rom) macro. Im not fond of telescopic lenses that have poor weather sealing 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not fond of telescopic lenses that have poor weather sealing I would love this too, but its not going to happen in a photo-world where f2.8 is considered "slow" for a zoom and f2 on a prime just doesn't cut it, bokeh-wise.

Andrew Gough Posted April 26, 2021 Share #50 Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Really wish that they would make a Leica SL 28-75mm F/2.0... The Canon 28-70mm is so useful. Edited April 26, 2021 by Andrew Gough 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a nice alternative to juggling 28, 35, 50 and 75mm summicron primes. Especially for low light video and event work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beewee Posted April 30, 2021 Share #54 Posted April 30, 2021 Looks similar in size to the 16-35. It seems the L-mount alliance members seems to have converged on 67mm and 82mm filter threads for the most part, with exception of some Sigma primes.

Well, it says “Leica” on the lens barrel and the letters are all yellow instead of white like it is for Sigma.

Photoworks Posted April 30, 2021 Share #60 Posted April 30, 2021 that image is a photoshop fail.. I hope Leica has better people than that. look at the white text on the lens doesn't follow any curvature rule 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
