16-35mm, 24-90mm, 50mm, 90mm, 90-280mm (all Leica L lenses)

here is a statistic from my lens utlization in 2021 (pulled from the filter menu in Lightroom) - found it somewhat satisfying to see that I use what I buy - which is a good argument for any next purchases ;)

Sigma 24 mm f/3.5 DG DN C

Sigma 45 mm f/2.8 DG DN C

Sigma 90 mm f/2.8 DG DN C

Via M adapter-L: 21mm Elmarit M f.2.8 ASPH.

That's all I need for now. All 4 lenses use the same 55 mm filter thread.(big plus)

A relatively light and compact set on my SL2-S which makes me a happy camper.

14-24, SL 16-35, SL 24-90, SL 90-280, 100-400, 150-600, 1.4 TC, SL 50*2, 85, SL90. 

I also use the Canon 17, 24, 50 TSE lenses. I don't own a Canon body plus an Nikon 90mm TS. I very rarely use some SIgma EF lenses adapted. A 12-24mm and an 85mm 1.4. I own all the CL lenses as well. I have 6 R lenses which I only use occasionally.

Currently my Q2 is my 28mm solution. I may pick up a 28 'cron at some stage.

I have a dozen or so M lenses but I don't use them on the SL.

14-24 Sigma DG DN, VE 24-90 SL

I have not been a fan of zooms for sometime, but added these 2 to my kit.  I plan on adding the 90-280 this year.  All of my primes are m or f mount 3rd party - Voigtlander/Zeiss and use them all, but I am so far very happy with the IQ and sharpness of these 2 zooms and I expect the 90-280 to be no different.

The chart is really telling.  If it came to it I could do pretty well everything I need with Leica 24-90 / 90-280 and Q2. My M10-R and 28/35/50/135 feel a bit out in the cold at the moment. I never thought I’d see the day.  I blame Leica for making such tediously excellent lenses!

Only two native SL lenses (that I hardly use on my SL2) : 18 TL Elmarit and 35 1.2 Sigma Art

... but more frequently used 16 M, LTM and R lenses in various focal lengths ranging from 15 to 280 mm with SL adapter.

Like I did in the M lenses list that was also started by @setuporg earlier this year here are some stats.  Note that in the M lens forum the data is based on 93 responses up until today and here in the SL section we have only 27 respondents.  Way to go !

Top 4 in fixed focal length (% of users having this focal length)

  1. 50 mm (52%)
  2. 35 mm (41%)
  3. 90 mm (22%)
  4. 75mm (19%)

Top 4 zooms 

  1. 24-90 mm (63%)
  2. 16-35 mm (30%)
  3. 90-280 mm (26%)
  4. 150-600 mm (15%)

Prime vs zoom lens owners

  1. Combination Prime & Zoom (63%)
  2. Only Prime lenses (26%)
  3. Only Zoom lenses (11%)

In average we count 4,1 lenses per respondent (versus almost 10 in the M lens list)

Note also that I filtered out all R and M lenses per request of the topic starter.

I expect that’s probably because a zoom lens typically cover 2-3 focal lengths that someone would otherwise purchase a prime lens for if no zoom exist.

For example:

16-35 -> 18, 24, 35 or 16-21, 28 or 16-21, 35

24-90 -> 24, 50, 90 or 24, 35, 75 or 28, 50, 90
