huwm Posted June 15, 2023 Share #1 Â Posted June 15, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use the Panasonic 70-300 with the SL2S and very pleased In the pursuit of a tiny bit more range I am toying with repurchasing a CL to use with it rather than adding another lens?

Advertisement Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 Hi huwm, Take a look here used CL or 100-400mm. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Boojay Posted June 15, 2023 Share #2 Â Posted June 15, 2023 Well they make a nice pairing and you would also have the CL to use with any other lenses you use on your SL2s, frankly the weight and size of the CL you can just pop it in your pocket or bag with the body cap on and decide if you want the "extender" use or not, winner!

jaapv Posted June 15, 2023 Share #3  Posted June 15, 2023 Even with the 18 it is pocketable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted June 15, 2023 Share #4 Â Posted June 15, 2023 A longer lens would be a better buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpitt Posted June 15, 2023 Share #6 Â Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) In almost every case, I would say, add an other lens, because it is hard to find a second body that equals the quality or the SL2-S. The CL is the exception, I would go for it. If you do not have a backup already it can be a great addition. Extended range on every lens. Works with macro too, to give more DOF for the same magnification. And it can serve as the 'take it with you always' solution with a small lens like the 18, or any M compact lens with adapter if you do no not mind manual focus.

I think this clinches it. 100-400 weight alone is same as CL and 70-300 Back up role useful too, I had CL in past and loved it till I dropped it in a River I never really got on with the ‘feel’ of S5 I foolishly replaced it with and which I traded in when I realised I only ever used the SL2S for this reason  Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
