That’s enough name calling and fighting, thanks very much. Maybe reprimand the one who's actually being abusive directly? All I ever wanted to do was share my actual experience with the actual software and hardware, but I got abused and told I didn't know what I was talking about, then my posts demonstrating that I was correct (that were, albeit rather sarcastic) were deleted, but the original was left intact. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Hi Kristofferpaulsen, Take a look here Leica 35/2 and 50/2 SL ASPH lenses?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted March 8, 2023 Share #322 Posted March 8, 2023 I would have thought that a Mod asking for some politeness would have been enough. If you report the post that you take objection to, I will sort it appropriately. This is the 337th post in this thread. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Abrahams Posted March 10, 2023 Share #323 Posted March 10, 2023 My order for the SL2s and Sl 50 f2 Summicron kit lens from last week is not yet shipped. There seems to be a delay from Leica Wholesale. Wholesale is different to the advice on the Leica retail Shop which lists the products "in stock". Was hoping for a quick turn around however not the case with regards to Leica Wholesale and the structure of the cash back deal. I can't in all my sixty something years believe that I feel like I am "waiting for Christmas" in anticipation, especially for the lens. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the hard part about loving what a small company does (if you agree Leica is small compared to the big photo guys). I’m planning two trips to some ice, one in August and I just sent some gear to get a CLA (not leica gear) and I’m waiting with anticipation that it will be back in time! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel C.1975 Posted March 12, 2023 Share #333 Posted March 12, 2023 @Ken: Oh, oh, I See trouble on the horizon 😄 The 35 Apo is such a great lens, especially if you have a tested used one on your camera. I am not absolutely sure that this one might not stick For the time it will definitely shorten the wait, and yes, that‘s a great service! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL35-APO is a remerkable lens that has been more or less constantly attached to my SL2-S. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the lens until my SL2s and 50 SL Summicron Asph kit shows up. I will undoubtably not give it back. It's not a lens that works with my street photography work, it can but not in the same way. And I have t get my head around the noise of the focussing system. I am already sold on the 35 APO - he is a good salesman who estimates his clients well 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to decide on which SL2-S bundle to get I couldn’t watch the whole thing, but my take home is that, compared to the P35/1.8 and P50/18, the new Leica ASPH lenses have a more premium housing and probably better weather sealing because they lack an AF/MF switch. Surprisingly, there was no difference in AF performance, if anything the Panasonic lenses were a little better. The Leica lenses were better centered, an indication of better QA during assembly. Otherwise, there wasn’t any real differences from their comparisons. If you go with the Panasonic, check your copy and be prepared to exchange if necessary. No such worries if you go with the Leica. About a year I got the Sigma 35/2 over the P35/1.8 and haven’t seen anything yet that would tempt me to switch, despite the lack of weather sealing. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a year I got the Sigma 35/2 over the P35/1.8 and haven’t seen anything yet that would tempt me to switch, despite the lack of weather sealing. Fully agree. That 35 Sigma is lovely to use on SL cameras. The new 35 and 50 from Leica are very welcome as far as I’m concerned, early signs seem positive; and, to me at least (and assuming the Panasonic link is true) it appears to be good example of the L-Mount Alliance working as it should. I’ve already bought the Sigma i Contemporary 24 f3.5, 35 f2 and 45 f2.8. Adapting my Summicron-M 50 and Summarit-M 75 means I’m not looking to swap anything out. I’m a bit old school and prefer an aperture ring, but, if I were buying my SL2-s now, adding one of these new Leica SL asph Summicrons would be a great proposition.

fotonutzz Posted March 14, 2023 Share #338 Posted March 14, 2023 I just got my hands on the Summicron SL 50mm ASPH on Sunday as I wanted something lighter and cheaper than the APO version. Didn't get the Panny 50/F1.8 as it felt too plasticky as compared to the Leica version. Overall, I'm happy with it as it is so light.... What caught my eye(as well as my wife) was the bokeh as well as the size. It balances perfectly on the SL or CL bodies and it's small enough for my wife to carry around unlike the SL zooms. Wonder if Leica will make a similarly sized 75 & 90mm ASPH in the future. Welcome, dear visitor!

Maybe we will get a 85mm version .- because of the corresponding Panasonic lens, time will tell Welcome, dear visitor!
