      Leica is continuing to develop and release truly excellent photographic tools. The M240, M246 Monochrom, S007, Q, and now the SL are all phenomenal.

      Coming out with a line of lifestyle products doesn't hurt this main goal any more than Porsche or BMW selling tote bags and golf shirts.

    My 2yo 120mm had the issue, less than 3 weeks from dropping into dealer and back again, however I got a ‘new' lens! Serial number is about 2000 higher, but it surprised me…

    Solms modified my 1.4x tube to work with LeiKo adapter on the S series, I will probably send my 2x tube off next year, They have not done many and it is on the edge of what can be modified, and comes back with lots of disclaimers 😉

      Hi David, thanks for the report. For what number of lines per mm are S lenses being calculated/produced? Thanks!

        David Farkas replied 10 years, 5 months ago

        The published MTFs show data for 10, 20 and 40 lp/mm. Internally, Leica is now testing for 60 lp/mm as well.

      David Farkas replied 10 years, 3 months ago

      To my knowledge, the TL lenses are not weather sealed. I would have no issue using it in a light drizzle though, same as I might with an M lens.
