Simone_DF Posted June 15 Share #143 Posted June 15 (edited) On 6/12/2025 at 6:24 PM, SrMi said: From DPR: "The optical design is remarkably similar to the Sigma Contemporary 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN lens. However, given that the MFT charts are substantially different, the two lenses seem to perform differently." Leica is 10, 20 and 40mm, Sigma 10 and 30mm Edit: saw other people mentioning the same Edited June 15 by Simone_DF 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted June 15 Share #144 Posted June 15 3 minutes ago, Simone_DF said: Isn’t this because Leica use 5, 10, 20 and 40 line per mm while Sigma and other brands usually go for the 10 and 30 lines per mm? With this in mind, you can compare the 10mm and see they are roughly the same, given also that Leica are calculated vs the Sigma that are measured DPR reportedly removed that statement. Thanks to everyone who pointed out their mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted June 17 Share #147 Posted June 17 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I needed a zoom this past weekend; picked up one of the 2 or 3 of this new model that came into the local Leica store, and headed off to several weekend events. For one-third the price of the leading option, half the price of the second-best (24-70), it seemed like a good choice. And with Leica's belt and suspenders construction, I think it will hold up. I'm pleased with the results so far. Some are posted on Flickr. Welcome, dear visitor!

Archiver Posted June 18 Share #148 Posted June 18 The motion blur in the 1/160 images is such that it's difficult to tell where the lens was focusing. The 1/800 images are much better, and show a crisp image. It would be nice to see some f2.8 images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted June 18 Share #149 Posted June 18 OK, I'll post one with shallower depth of field but f/2.8 is not the bokeh king. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
