Advertisement Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Hi Sohail, Take a look here Leica SL501.4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
robb Posted February 6, 2023 Share #42  Posted February 6, 2023 Another feature story in LFI where only the SL 50 1.4 was used by Cédric Viollet.  Some nice images in there.  I really like the opening image.

Perfect example of striking art made by someone who probably could have used a kodak funsaver and gotten amazing images. Of course, it helps to have a $6k lens... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb Posted February 8, 2023 Share #46  Posted February 8, 2023 And another feature using the SL 50 1.4 from LFi by Jarle Hagen.  I know many of you may have seen these on Leica's site.  Shot with the SL.

tangosix Posted February 8, 2023 Share #49  Posted February 8, 2023 Does anyone else think that these images from LFi have a M type vibe to the images?  Perhaps I have consumed too many M50Lux images lately. Either way, I am the proud owner of a SL Lux now thanks to the encouragement around here. It has been a dream lens for some time - auto focus with the beast. I hope to produce memorable captures with it.  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomnia Posted February 8, 2023 Share #52  Posted February 8, 2023 I was being serious. Saw a blind comparison with SL Lux, M Lux ASPH, M Lux pre ASPH, Sigma ART and Voigtländer Nokton.  I immediately spotted „my“ M Lux ASPH but (to me) the SL rendered quite similar (spectacular).  I’d just never consider the SL due to the size issue and will stick to the M lens with a light AF alternative. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that for the majority of SL shooters, the CV and Sigma lenses are around 85% of the Leica lenses picture quality but at about 1/5 the cost. These numbers are my opinion but you get the point. And that's the point with 'luxury' products: law of diminishing returns. Now, if you make $$ with the SL 1.4, even better. I guess Leica releasing the new less expensive 50 f2 and 35 f2 lenses is Leica's response to this; well worth the $2k or so if the quality is on par with the 50 and 35 APO lenses.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristofferpaulsen Posted February 13, 2023 Share #56 Â Posted February 13, 2023 It's a phenomenal bit of glass, albeit when it's hanging by your side on a strap, you could knock a toddler unconscious with it if they accidentally ran into it..

You may refer to the photos, but there is substantial in camera optimization when using the SL 1.4/50. As far as I know, the MTF curves Leica publishes, are pre-optimization. There is no in camera processing for the APO-SL 50mm (and 35mm). They deliver a perfect image. Also, the Panasonic-S Pro 1.4/50, which fully matches the performance of SL 1.4/50, needs substantial in camera optimization to correct distortion. This is true for several Sigma Art lenses as well.  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The corrections are applied by post-processors, not in the camera) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
