I have an old 50mm R that I’ve adapted to my SL2S. I’ll experiment with this for some comparisons against my 24-90 at 50. Hi Globalwander, this is a post on the two lenses and their different rendering: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Hi hansvons, Take a look here 24-90 as the SL line's favoured portraiture lens. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

I would want one since I think that the performance of the 35 and 50 Summicrons is superb. I am using the 90 end of the 24-90 currently. I actually still have the APO 120 S and the adapter for it but it’s a pretty big package to handle on the SL with the lens foot actually the tripod interface. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted December 20, 2021 Share #23 Posted December 20, 2021 Surprised nobody said it. I used the 80-200 for portraits in the studio where f4 with studio lights is fine (using f8 mostly), but when the model is always moving, AF would be great. I have the 24-90 which I used but bought the 90-280 for this purpose and for environment portraits. The other choice was one of the 70-200 f2.8 lenses, but that extra 80mm at the end swung it for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have the 80-200/4 and it is a bit cumbersome for portraits if want to shoot vertically, focus fast manually and stabilize the lens at the same time. I've figured that sooner or later I may very well get the 90-280 but it is not a high priority for me. Edited December 20, 2021 by cpclee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
