Advertisement Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 Hi Olaf_ZG, Take a look here Is it time to ditch the Q2/3 and fully embrace the SL2?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

But I guess that would cannibalize the SL line too much and perhaps make the Q and lens unaffordable for the target audience. But then it would not be a Q... The lenses would be much bigger, since the Q lens is retracted into the body and very close to the sensor. And we would also lose the fantastic leaf shutter.

And then there's the cost ☹️ From what I seen on this forum, particularly the Mono section, it can be sensational when you get it right. It is. And honestly it's such a pig I'd never use it on an M body. But OMG the pictures you can make with it.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheap second hand (for Leica glass) and can get Nocti-like results wide open. For me, the greatest Leica lens of all time (but I am a 50mm guy...) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robb Posted August 8, 2023 Share #146 Posted August 8, 2023 I’m actually starting to think the SL 50 apo summicron is the greatest Leica lens of all time… Glad we have so many choices to sway our opinions in this GOAT selection. Robb 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can but it’s such a huge heavy lens that it’s more about the handling challenges on the smaller M body. Plus the visoflex is trash compared to the SL EVF. Obviously, you can use the lens on an M because it’s an M mount. The question is how enjoyable will it be. Have you ever used a 75 Nocti on either the SL or M bodies?

Didn’t use it on the SL though, should try it. Getting rid of everything else is hard, but I try to keep things as simple as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickness Posted August 8, 2023 Share #152 Posted August 8, 2023 I’m actually thinking of selling my 75 SL APO and getting a 50 Nocti 1.0 I just feel so much more spiritually connected to the camera when it has a manual focus lens mounted. And no matter how much I stray, 50mm is my ride or die. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted August 8, 2023 Share #153 Posted August 8, 2023 I prefer the CV 50 f1 to any of the Noctilux 50’s. The 0.95, which I had for 7 years never grabbed me. And I’m definitely a 50mm guy. I like the CV a LOT though. The 50CV and the Noctilux 50’s are about as far from a *perfect* lens as you can get, thankfully. Not that I don’t like *perfect* lenses. My 50 APO M and SL are my most used 50’s. Nice to have something different to compliment them. Gordon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, i assume it was related to tenis, but i don’t care. But, certain abbreviations I don’t know, andI guess it is not bad asking what it means, as it might be Leica related. Goat, asma, mm, asph, whatever lens abbreviations LUF might have, google might not know. F.e. First hit for me on LUF is www.luf-uf.com , now try to find sth about lenses there… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodbokeh Posted August 10, 2023 Share #158 Posted August 10, 2023 Since this thread has turned a corner into 50mm lenses I'll add my story. I'm new to the SL2 system and plan to use my 50 V5 Summicron-M. It tests out really well right from f/2. It was going unused on my Ms because the f/4 focus shift was to difficult for me to handle predictably with the rangefinder. The SL2 EVF has given it a new lease on life. The 50 V5 tests out much better on my SL2 than my 50 Lux ASPH V1 which really struggles below f/4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
