Pros:Outstanding full-open sharpness, low weight, fast autofocus
Cons:Price. to be on call
Opinion:Sensational optics. Tried on the Leica SL and Lumix SR1. It equals and perhaps surpasses the performance of the fantastic Leica APO S 120mm 2.5 (also tried on Leica SL and Lumix SR1 with S/L Leica ring). Excellent contrast, superb plasticity and natural colors. Returns very loyal files. Remember Zeiss Planar's goals for Contax. Hard to find. Autofocus is fast and accurate. Weight finally acceptable. Leica's choice to finally offer a new generation of outstanding performance SL sLs, high aperture and low weight is excellent.
Opinion:Well what about, as said by the review before mine, this seems like a medium format lens. It has a frightening quality, I dare not imagine what it will do with SL2 when it comes out (and hopefully has many more mpx than 24). If you can afford it and love the portrait, I'd say it's the perfect optics. had been stabilized and maybe at least F 1.8 would not guastato...ma even if f2 the blur looks like an f1.4, maybe it would help keep the lower ISO
Opinion:Perfect optics. The review could be closed here! The lens is built impeccably, the autofocus is very fast and the image quality truly incredible. Already at full aperture is a blade and the images enjoy an impressive detail and three-dimensionality, the fuzzy is creamy in perfect Leica style and the colors are beautiful. Looking at the files you have the impression that they come from a MF system and not a FF. The problem of this viewpoint is perhaps that of being too resolute and the good Sante Castignani would write that it is "too much for human subjects", but it must be said that the photos altogether have a very analogue look and enjoy a great naturalness (it was I haven't seen a result like that in a while. The price is undoubtedly high, but waiting for the right opportunity (it takes a little patience), you can find Optics ex demo, or used Seminuove, at very attractive prices. Since I have the 90SL I have not been able to use the 85 Canon 1.2 II that I adore...
