On the Leica side, the M11 will no doubt introduce more considerations. And probably more at some point for the SL and/or S systems, plus any other surprises. I’m content for now with SL2 (and 3 lenses) and M bodies (M10 and M9/M10Monochroms and 5 lenses) for my picture and printing needs. I’ll probably sell the M9M and one or two of my 35mm M lenses at some point. No other significant needs, or excuses, gear-wise for me, except for upgrades on the back end to computer/printer in the next year or two. The biggest obstacle is time to shoot and print. Jeff I am just hoping that a higher performing EVF for the M11 shall be compatible with the M10-R/M and maintains tilting capability. Such a beneficial feature....wish there was a right angle finder for the SL2.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caissa Posted June 12, 2021 Share #44 Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) I find the title of this thread quite weird. I get the impression someone tries to impose his (negative) view of things upon us. I weathered the three bad years after the announcement of the original SL and see currently no reason to think pessimistically. The offerings are great and abundant. I actually do not need most of the new products (SL2-S or 2.8/24-70) but I can understand if some want them. Maybe I would buy some native macro lenses from Leica, maybe also a 4/400 or 4/300 lens in Fresnel-style from Sigma or Pana. (Not from Leica because far too expensive). Also because Leica does not want to offer an extender, and without extender these long and expensive lenses are pointless. I am glad for the alliance, even if I have not yet bought any lenses. But the system has improved in a remarkable way. It is now (despite a hiccup in AFc) one of the most attractive systems. (Especially for users used to do almost anything with AFs). If users find it hopeless and want to leave ... why not, simply do it. This will not push most of the other users into despair. I could not care less if some doomsayers leave asap.

hellobrandonscott Posted June 14, 2021 Share #47 Posted June 14, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) The death of Canon's EF system is what drove me to part ways with Canon and jump fully onboard with Leica's SL system. It's new. It's innovative. The aesthetics, ergo, and interface is incredible. And of course, it's a Leica. Canon isn't coming out with gear that much faster than Leica, per capita. Covid is creating a false negative for a lot of companies when evaluating their pace of innovation. Remember, assembly lines, offices, etc. fully shut down for a good portion of a year. That's unprecedented and will take years to get back up to speed. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobram Posted June 14, 2021 Share #48 Posted June 14, 2021 I know that it is not likely to happen, but small(er) 2.8 Elmarit primes will be a nice addition to heavy big and heavy SL Summicrons... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small and beautifully crafted Sigma 24/3.5 is indeed a very refreshing lens for SL, it feels a bit like an M with it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
