Pros:I would say the optical quality and photographic range of the 14-24 f2.8 is not a daily gesitorire such a thing
Cons:I don't know maybe for the detractors, they can say that it is not a totally Leica lens. This is also true, but what matters are the results. I can only say that there is little negative for sure and the weight of the optics and with its Leica SL2 you can feel it. In my case he feels right. I'm only missing the Grip batery, then I'm ready.... Another controversial thing in my opinion. It is not for continuous use with such optics, but the problem applies to all machi. I, who am interested in Smoke Fairs and comics, find it hard to squeeze it. Consider that they are often inside closed and not bright environments.
Opinion:I often use medium-long lenses, taking photos of motoring. I was one of the first fools to use the 300mm 2.8 to test that lens and bring back the opinions to Minolta. It was also an optic to test including the autofocus. We are in the early 90s. I can't tell you the mockery of professional colleagues. They told me that a lens like this should be used on the track and not in the pits, already the 200mm was madness for them. Let's get back to us. And to the Vario Elmarit 14-24, is my thought. What is the purpose of such a goal? Take photos indoors for sure, then the landscape but sparingly, photograph people too, indoors and with little space. Then you need imagination and finding the right context. I repeat and a complicated perspective to manage. Sometimes we forget why we take pictures. Then when I hear real and fake experts. Who praise and criticize chromatic aberrations and distortions. If you want certain results, use the appropriate means. (Optical Bench) And not a miserable and simple 35mm compact. The 35mm format was born to be slim, fast, easy to carry around, to take souvenir photos or an occasional event. In our Elmarit 14 24 f 2.8 it is an excellent lens so extreme, for a few and not for everyone, expense aside. It is easy to buy it to have it in the trousseau, then over time it becomes, as my wife says, a ciappapolver in Bolognese. A dust catcher. If you have to buy it? I would say yes, it deserves the money you spend on its specifications and the vision it gives you. Sorry if I was long in writing. I apologize, but what I would like to convey is what that thing is for and not what it can be used for. Those who buy a Leica are often advanced amateurs or prestigious professionals. Here too a bit of usto, (always Bolognese). You have to like the focal length, then you're not throwing money away. Buying something that costs less does not always save money. Ahh I forgot Leica things are work tools and not investments. Leica products make them robust on purpose. Because they have to last over time and you don't leave you on foot on the most beautiful. It happened to me too. During a film festival in Venice. But that's another story. Thank you for reading my opinion.
Opinion:I own an SL2 with a 24-90, with this lens I wanted to cover the missing focal lengths, with an all-rounder zoom. Given the peculiarity of the lens, I used it in GANT (Belgium) for photos of the city's cathedrals. It's bright, fast and in combination with the camera body it's a nice solution for those who have a passion for building photos. The angle of 114 degrees is enough for the photos I take, I also have a fixed voiglander 12 with adapter ring for the more extreme ones. The weight (but you know) in combination with the machine, is perhaps a con, but the high brightness, and versatility are definitely a pro. Importantly, among the pros I have included the Filters, as they can be mounted on the back of the lens, since the convex lens does not allow them to be mounted on the lens. As a personal opinion, I have defined the price as a con, but it must also be said that Leica online finances at 30 months zero interest, and this makes the purchase "lighter".
