robb Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share #122 Posted August 7, 2022 I am really wanting those 21 and 24 SL lenses to be released by Leica… Robb 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrickfoley@mac.com Posted August 8, 2022 Share #123 Posted August 8, 2022 Loving this thread Robb. Please keep going! Would love to hear your views on the 90-280 L. I had one, but sold it to get a lighter alternative (it is a beast of a lens). But I really miss it and am tempted to buy one again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to hear your views on the 90-280 L. I had one, but sold it to get a lighter alternative (it is a beast of a lens). But I really miss it and am tempted to buy one again. Yeah, I think most people have a 70-200 with their cameras and the Leica lens is better than those. I don’t use the 90-280 as often unless I am doing a lot of outdoor work like at a new park, aviation, or other transportation type project. But I think it is crazy sharp and worth the weight when it fits that type of shooting. I think the 24-90 is so versatile that many times I can just leave the 90-280 and simplify… because the sl2 cameras don’t really excel at af-c, you could easily just use an adapted canon 70-200 and shoot af-s and get nice results also. But I’m a fan of all the other features and benefits using the Leica SL lens. The IS is very good also. Robb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share #125 Posted August 8, 2022 I should also update the group that I am at 1 year on my sl2 and over 30k images. More on the sl2-s. No issues. So I think the cameras are built to shoot all you give them. knock on wood, I know… lol Robb 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share #126 Posted August 21, 2022 I ended up selling my Zeiss ZM 35 1.4 I did not feel like it was going to get much use given how good the SL 35 apo is… So I’ll put that money toward something else that I can use regularly. I’m sure we all go through some gear turnover. Ha! Robb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robb Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share #131 Posted October 8, 2022 Amazing colors from the neon. I didn't overdo the saturation at all. Pretty straight forward. I thought I shot this wide open but can't remember. The exif data said 3.4... Really nice lens on the SL2 that's pretty compact.

robb Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share #133 Posted October 12, 2022 I am planning on adding an S3 end of the year for some portrait projects with strobes and two new SL lenses. Looking for an apo 50 SL and an apo 90 SL I’d like to trade two of my M lenses for the above or S lenses - 35 CS, 45 CS, 70 CS, 120 CS plus any dollar differences. 28 summicron and 90 apo summicron mint in boxes. 28 has warranty for a year or so left. I’ll post an ad up but thought I would find some takers here first. Happy to send more info and meet up in the US as I am regularly on the road. Send me a pm. Thanks.

robb Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share #134 Posted October 15, 2022 I was in New York for a week and was photographing a new park as one of my assignments. I did so from the air and on the ground. But I must say it was pretty comical to try to make nice sports photos of (pretty slow) flag football teenagers with AFc on my sl2. I know we have all said it numerous times and I have tried numerous times - that this camera simply cannot do it. I photographed sports at the highest levels while a wire service PJ. I gotta say I would rather shoot film with the original eos 1 from like 1989 than shoot any afc with an sl2… lol That being said, I don’t really shoot sports anymore and enjoy the amazing things the SL2 excels at. I’ll try some different methods but would have a better hit rate with manual focus. Anyway… just thought you all would like a laugh for your weekend. And for any of those uninitiated, just delete afc from your possible choices… Robb 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share #135 Posted October 18, 2022 Working with the sl2-s last couple days with a client I’ve had for 25 years. they say to me, “Are you using a new camera?” Yes I said, “added them about 12 months ago heading toward some newer tech and optics.” cool they said. “Colors look amazing…so rich and clear.” so That’s a win… Robb 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good to see the work of a seasoned professional and to share in your thinking. And your results speak for themselves! Thank you.

robb Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share #140 Posted November 15, 2022 My new SL 90 summicron arrived today. Will try to shoot with it tomorrow. Wondering if I should also still keep my m lenses for more options… was going to move them on in favor of adding more SL and S lenses… but who doesn’t like M lenses. Ha ha. I guess we all struggle on what to keep, what to use, and what to trade toward other stuff… since dollars are generally finite. But, lot of good memories with my M lenses. Just that the SL lenses are now doing a lot more in pretty much every category. We’ll see. Robb Welcome, dear visitor!
