leicamr Posted March 19, 2022 Share #101 Posted March 19, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here are some shots taken today using the 50 f1.4 R E60 and the 35 f1.4 R. Both at f1.4. The joy of using them on the SL is that I can focus them accurately at f1.4. I am fortunate to have the SL Summicron's, but I forgot how superb these R lenses are. I have enjoyed my day of manual focussing. 50 Welcome, dear visitor!

I agree you wouldn’t get anything like the same results with a 50mm Summilux mounted on the SL2! Horses for courses. Many thanks for the kind words. I also do a lot of street portraiture, and I use a 50 Lux M ASPH sometimes (this pic with that lens). So I am still intrigued by how the SL Lux photos would look. Welcome, dear visitor!

matted Posted April 6, 2022 Share #110 Posted April 6, 2022 So after reading this thread, it sound like the consensus is to have a Summilux-SL 50, a Summilux-M 50, a Summilux-R 50, a Summicron-SL 50, and a Noctilux .95 50 in my bag? Got it... 1 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The peak of the best plane of focus is higher, giving the impression of a narrower depth of field, and the roll-off is gentler. In comparison with the 50 Summilux-M ASPH, I would say it is sharper across the frame, and the bokeh is marginally smoother, and nicer.

Got it... Not gonna lie after seeing the pictures I also want a summilux-sl. I don't even prefer the 50mm focal length. Luckily, how much the price has gone up the last few years helps me keep my card in the wallet. 🥹 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickness Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share #117 Posted May 28, 2022 I shot this with the 50 1.4 Summilux M ASPH. When you can get results like this with that tiny lens, it makes one wonder if it’s worth it to have all that extra weight and size for the image quality improvement the SL 50 Lux affords. I’m still on the fence! 😂 Welcome, dear visitor!

Maybe with the new eye tracking/selection AF on the SL2 and SL2-S firmware, you can get the eyes in focus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think I wanted to get the eyes in focus? Point of focus is a creative decision, a picture should be viewed as a whole. It’s not a competition to see how sharp you can get the eyes 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillavoider Posted May 28, 2022 Share #120 Posted May 28, 2022 SL 50 Lux is an awesome lens but simply too big to carry around, I forced myself to do it many times and it always rewarded me with really good images, but I eventually sold it as I’m not a professional and this lens belongs in a studio and I’d always say ‘next time’ when choosing a lens cos of the weight 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
