There is no way to influents it. You can choose panning and to turn it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SL2 has external controls, which a lens could have using the same type of technology to avoid water and dust ingress. Call it a switch, call it a button, a wheel, etc, the point stands.

I'm wondering since I already own the 90-280, is this lens going to be worth it to me? As far as I know, the L 1.4x Extender is designed specifically, and only, for the new 100-400 lens Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Sigma teleconverter works with more lenses. Pretty sure the Leica will work with these Sigma lenses too.

The Sigma 1.4x is not compatible with the 90-280 because it can't even be mounted due to the construction of the Leica lens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct when you say it won't work with the 90-280, but the extender works with two additional lenses (probably next in line for a rebadge treatment) Edited March 29, 2023 by Simone_DF Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90-280 was designed before the L2 alliance, it was not in the plans! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
