I’ve used tons of film and digital m bodies but since I added the SL2 and SL2-s, I’m not sure I will be using m bodies.  The SL series kind of replaces the M’s for me primarily because of the Ibis and VF with focus peaking and zooming in with the electronic VF.   Off center focus is fairly fast.
 

the body to me is still fairly compact and not that dissimilar to an M if you use the visoflex 

the SL just makes focusing these high speed lenses so much more usable, even though my hit rate is still about 50% because of any slight movement (breathing) and the razor thin dof.

All that being said, I do still crave a black paint m10-r.  Lol

The dad was pulling the daughter up and throwing her off the wall toward the beach.  The waves were crashing and then running off the concrete.  The son was snorkeling and wanted to come hang out as well... Only the family trio is in focus.  The whole rest of the photo fades out very quickly behind them.  Not sure if most would prefer the whole image to be in focus or not.   I'm torn but I think the composition at f8 would have been equally interesting.  But I only wanted to shoot the whole day wide open at f1.0. I love shooting with the SL2-s equally as much as SL2.  To me they are really the same except for the file size for most uses.  I might regret the smaller file though if printing for an exhibit.  I haven't really needed the high iso benefit of SL2-s yet but I guess it's really nice to have if you need it.  I'm not sure I will ever need it for outdoor scenes even at night unless I'm doing video as well.  It's main use to me is for indoor events and conferences.

Close to minimum focussing distance.  Maybe 1 meter I think.

Love the lens but still a bit slow to use to nail focus exactly since you only have a mm or so at closer distances...  But I guess I'm not using the lens to break any speed records.

A bit overcast today.  Really great look on all the Nokton images.  I will try to get a 50 1.4 SL for comparison, but the Nokton really is a great size and weight.

50 feet seems quite far, considering how much the couple fill the frame, but it may be difficult to estimate - and since I wasn't there, impossible for me to argue with you about it in any sensible way... 😅😁

Oh I'm sure you're quite motivated and want to calculate it, given a human head is about the width of 11 cm and the field of view is 47.8° and we received the information the image is not cropped.

Just received mine today and took a few quick test shots, all at f/1.

These forum previews always look soft – click to scroll though sharper versions:

hdmesa, our momentarily-weak internet service will not load your higher-definition images, but I must say that even the “soft” versions, on this web page, are quite amazing work.

Thank you for the kind comment. Probably didn't help your downloading that I posted one of them twice 🥴

Still quite happy with this lens - the usual trouble of needing a ND filter in bright light aside.  The Leica M11 lets you go electronic but unless things are static, no go. Both shot Leica M11 Voightlander Nokton 50/1, wide open. I borrowed a Noctilux to compare it with, the Leica 75/1,25.  Not in the same class of rendering, but the Noctilux is so heavy that I'm not sure I'd take it with me everywhere. Am aware the subject in the first one is soft, was just getting set up and up they popped, but I still like the image.
