Because I ate too many crayons this morning and minced my words. Fixed. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, own it, just haven't knocked updating my Leica Forums inventory off the todo list yet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bokeh and overall OOF rendering is just something I think you need to experience to really understand. I did at least. And practically speaking, the focus tab, or lack of one on the cron, got annoying for me. I also have a Q2 and just grew so accustomed to having it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Printmaker Posted November 20, 2023 Share #7 Posted November 20, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I understand but my favorite is the 75 apo Summicron (a similar design) on the SL2S and a 35 Summicron on my M10. But for fast moving situations I go with autofocus zooms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a 35mm guy. I change lenses rarely and only own a 50mm Summciron V4 (with the tab) for the occasional portraits. For the SL2-S, I prefer the 35mm Summicron ASPH M. It's sharp to the corners from 4.0 onwards and shows lots of character until f 2,8, including a lovely bent focal plane (within sharp edges and corners!) and some glow and super-nice flares but maintains a skin-friendly, distinct sharpness and avoids smeary corners. It vignettes reasonably compared to other M 35mm lenses, even at full aperture. But my most frequently used set-up is the M6 (mostly loaded with ISO 400 stocks, B&W and colour) with the phenomenal 35mm Nokton f1,4 SC V2, which performs surprisingly poorly on digital but is a revelation on film.

hansvons Posted November 22, 2023 Share #10 Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) I shot this image with the SL2-S and the 35mm Summicron ASPH M at full aperture (Celtic graves in Portugal).

I find the adapter to be essential. I use the Novoflex L-M mount adapter. Before that, I tried a cheap adapter with unusable results.
