Advertisement Posted December 18, 2023 Posted December 18, 2023 Hi Pierre68, Take a look here What is the most exotic lens you've used on the SL2 / SL2-S ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Robert E Posted December 18, 2023 Share #2 Posted December 18, 2023 Pierre, I use the Leica Vario-Elmar S 30-90mm zoom with the S to L adapter. Just an awesome lens, with some of the best glass Leica has ever produced. The SL2 with its IBIS makes using the heavier lens a dream handheld. Colors and rendition are the true "Leica glow".

Pierre68 Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted December 18, 2023 Not really what I would call exotic but interesting. I love to use S lenses on the SL2-S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb Posted December 19, 2023 Share #4 Posted December 19, 2023 I loved my voigtlander nokton 50mm 1.0 on the sl2 and sl2-s. Sharp with great background. But I decided I didn’t need that extreme lack of depth and preferred my 50 apo summicron. Sold the nokton. most people would consider any SL apo summicron to be quite exotic… Robb 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaro5 Posted December 19, 2023 Share #5 Posted December 19, 2023 I use an SL 35mm APO Summicron on my SL2-S and while it's probably not considered exotic it's the best lens I've used. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZN Posted December 19, 2023 Share #7 Posted December 19, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Lieca M39 Screw mount 50mm Summicron – 1999 collector's edition, on my Leica SL (Typ 601) https://www.kenrockwell.com/leica/50mm-f2-m.htm#m39 Only a few hundred made. Wasn't amazing and if anything had a yellow cast → easy enough to fix though in post (via Capture One Pro) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted December 19, 2023 Share #8 Posted December 19, 2023 Haven't used it on my SL2 yet, but with my SL (typ 601) I've shot with the Nikon Noct-Nikkor 58mm f1.2 Ai-S. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted December 19, 2023 Share #9 Posted December 19, 2023 350mm Tele Tessar FE : Sadly, borderline unusable. Just way too soft for digital. I have also used it with random view camera lenses on a Sinar P2, so maybe the 180mm APO Macro Sironar, or a reversed 90mm 4.5 APO Componon HM enlarging lens for high reproduction macro. Nothing beats the APO Summicrons though...not even the S lenses, to my eye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tritentrue Posted December 19, 2023 Share #10 Posted December 19, 2023 MS Optics 57mm f/2 Petz Vario lens: Not really a Petzval lens, just smeary in the periphery wide open, very sharp in the center of the frame, and good imagery all over stopped down to about f/4. Build quality of the lens inspired little confidence, as the aperture "stick" slot would allow easy ingress of dust and moisture. Might work well for an indoor shooter who's weight-conscious, as it tips the scale at 110g. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpau17 Posted December 19, 2023 Share #11 Posted December 19, 2023 I love using the really exotic Leica 500/8 Telyt lenses (mirror lens) on my SL and especially the MeyerOptik lenses Orestor 135/2.8 and Orestegor 200/4 from the 1960s with M42 mount and a warm and unusual character, and the bokeh is also very nice in my subjective opinion. The SL really harmonizes very well with these old/vintage lenses (probably analogous to the M lenses). -thomas Welcome, dear visitor!

Dr. G Posted December 21, 2023 Share #20 Posted December 21, 2023 I don’t know if you’d consider it exotic, but the rendering from the Light Lens Lab Speed Panchro ii is different than some other lenses… Welcome, dear visitor!
