Many ...........

Apo-Elmar-S 1:3.5/180 with Elpro-S 180 ...............................

I am happy with this SL macro setup, though not a native lens but still provide AF capability ...............

Leica R8 + Digital-Modul-R + Apo-Telyt-R 1:4/560 ..............................

I use Cognisys Stackshot for the purpose; however, camera control cable for Leica are not available and have to modify a Leica remote release cable in using the Stackshot.

Leica SL Type 601 + Cooke Speed Panchro 75mm T2.3 .................................

Leica Apo-Telyt-R 1:2.8/400 ...........................

Carl Zeiss Contarex Tele-Tessar 1:5.6 f=400mm ..............................................

Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L II USM with Novoflex adapter and maintain autofocus ...............................

For a photo trip, I use the two SL zooms for general use, 16-18-21 for wider shot, Noctilux-M 0.95 for existance light and its bokeh. All nicely packed in a small backpack (Lowre.Pro Mini-Trekker) ..........................the SL50 is too big as well as heavy to fit in the backback !

As an alternative, you can also consider the Leica ballhead 38 (14114) and traveller tripod (11401) ...........................

This also depends on the resolution of the printer used, for example the Durst Lambda 131 printer supports two resolutions of 200 dpi and 400 dpi. This means when choosing 200 dpi for the images from Leica SL, i.e. 6000x4000 pixels, the printer can output a print of 20x30 inches without any interpolation. For print larger than that, raster image processor (RIP) has to be used to process the image file and image degradation started.

There is no electronic interface on the M bodies, I would prefer to buy a SL body with a S-Adapter-L and enjoy my S lenses .................

Polarizing filters under Leica brand name ..............................

Leica SL Type 601 + Novoflex adapter + Carl Zeiss Distagon 2.8/15 T* ZE .....................
