Pros:Excellent edge-to-edge, open-to-edge, "universal" lens, fast, precise and very quiet AF (use on Leica Sl2); robustness in construction with size and weight "contained", overall image quality; very resistant to parasitic lights and reflections. The front element of the lens features a water-repellent Aquadura coating that repels dust and moisture
Cons:None (the cost of Summicrons all considered remains too high, but in reality I do not know if you can consider a con)
Opinion:Superlative optics to have and I could close here... has three fundamental characteristics a) the contrast that is considerably higher than conventional objectives: perfectly focused objects show a much higher contrast than blurry ones and therefore "jump out" more sharply than conventional lenses. compared to the first floor or background, detaching better. This creates a three-dimensional visual effect with an apparent depth of great impact; b) the construction and general design together with the manual fire ring provide reliable protection against water sprays and dust, as well as accidental impacts and other mechanical stresses; The front ring has a smooth movement and no games; c) exceptional image quality for both rendering and three-dimensionality... includes 5 aspheric elements that reduce aberrations and distortions. The focus uses a DSD (Dual Syncro Drive) step-by-step engine that takes just 250 ms to switch from one end of the focus range to the other and is really fast and precise. The small size, the reduced weight and the excellent ergonomics are appreciated especially in practical use. The SL2 with this lens is perfectly balanced in the hand and the use on tripod is also clearly facilitated. Highly recommended
Pros:Outstanding sharpness at maximum opening, incredible "plasticity", reproduction of shades of color
Cons:High price
Opinion:Fantastic optics! With the new L lenses, in my opinion, Leica has reached new heights in terms of image quality: absolute sharpness all over the frame already at maximum opening, impressive three-dimensionality, incredible ability to represent the colors, lightning autofocus (tested on SL and SL2). As I wrote in the review of the 90L, looking at the images taken with these Leica L-series lenses, you have the impression of being in front of a file of a medium-sized machine so many are the details, the visible shades of color and the "plasticity" Returned. This 35 mm SL, as a total performance on the SL and SL2, I prefer it to the summilux-M 35 asph FLE that I own and love.
