Hello,

I would like to upgrade my original SL and buy either an SL2 or SL3 to use with my S lenses and my two L mount lenses. Is there any difference between the two newer SLs related to the autofocus with the S lenses? Anything else to consider?

thanks,

yevgeny

Maybe some useful info…

As I see the post is about the problem with the S lenses on the SL3-s. Thank you for the info. Does it mean the SL2 and SL2-s are less problematic with the S lenses?

More than one response references the SL3, which you mentioned.

No problems on my side with SL2, SL2-S, SL3, SL3-S and S-lenses - almost always shooting the S-lenses with manual focus and focus confirmation on SL.

Re SL2 vs SL3: SL2 has Multi-Shot High-Res Mode (187 mp, I think); the SL3 does not have this feature (but 60 mp is still more than most of us need).

Thank you very much for your detailed and informative response. I will look for a clean SL2 locally, it makes more sense to skip a generation.

I have recently 'downgraded' from SL3 to SL2; hardly used SL2 bodies are found at decent price around. Main (?) disadvantage with SL2 are more noise at high ISOs and, clearly, less advanced (continuous) AF.
