TheGodParticle/Hari Posted April 22, 2024 Share #1  Posted April 22, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Did someone get a copy yet? Much as I love the Leica SL-50/1.4, the weight and not so close minimum focus distance have me looking at the sigma as a lower weight daily driver If you got a copy already, show us your images Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. G Posted April 23, 2024 Share #4  Posted April 23, 2024 (edited) I was going to order it from B&H, but they’re closed until tomorrow.  If you could take some test shots side by side with your Lux it would be appreciated.   The Sigma focuses 15cm closer than the Lux and 5cm further than the APO.  Right now I have both of them because I sometimes need the close focus ability of the APO.  If I could replace both of them with the Sigma I could take the funds from selling the other two to go on vacation and… use the Sigma to photograph everything.

TheGodParticle/Hari Posted April 24, 2024 Author Share #6  Posted April 24, 2024 First shots around the house, impressive results  The Plus: Feels noticeably lighter than the SL-50/1.4 Quick AF, definitely faster than the SL-50/1.4 Punchy colors out of camera Biting sharp wide open at f1.2 Minimum focus distance (0.4M) is noticeably closer Background out of focus area is very smooth and creamy  The Minus: Foreground is not so smooth Purple and green fringing easily visible One handed operation not comfortable, but this is more to do with the haptics of the SL3 than just the weight/bulk of the lens. I could atleast attempt it with this lens, with the SL-50/1.4 it wasn’t even an option  Welcome, dear visitor!

Dr. G Posted April 24, 2024 Share #15  Posted April 24, 2024 Interesting that you mention the purple and green fringing. Even though the 50 Lux isn't an APO lens it exhibits very little purple and green fringing. Looking forward to some more real use images.

(I don't know) Having a rather large collection of lenses, in my experience, it’s mostly the APO lenses that are mostly well corrected. I say mostly because even the APO50 and APO90 show traces of fringing. The M-50/1.4 ASPH is the exception as it doesn’t have an APO designation but is well corrected. Almost all other lenses show purple/red/green fringing, so until and unless Leica found some way of correcting the SL-50/1.4 through special glass and optical construction, the assumption is that it’s being corrected in-body. I care about the end result, so it’s ok for me. Since the sigma does show fringing, the assumption again is that it doesn’t get the same level of in-body correction. Maybe it behaves better on L-amount sigma and Panasonic bodies? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
