(Note: I haven't finished the fake sky yet.)
I tried shooting this from every angle, making the subject turn 360 degrees in the process, to no avail. Lacking any HDR or pseudo-HDR capability on the primitive X2, I just did the best I could and blew the sky. I thought the X2 peformed very well, although I did have a small perspective change due…[Read more] -

A question that keeps coming up again and again is whether people should be shooting with M lenses or the 24-90 zoom on the Leica SL (Typ 601). A lot of Leica photographers have shied away from the zoom due to t […]

I personally don't like to use the hood on the 24-90 because not only does it add length to the lens, its actually not that necessary (in my opinion at least). The M lenses have such small hoods that they don't really detract from my shooting experience so I don't bother removing them.

Because Nikon G lenses use a mechanical cam actuator for aperture control, you wouldn't be able to electronically control aperture from the SL via the adapter. Only the NikonE lenses have electronically controlled aperture systems, so these are the ones that are officially supported and which feature full functionality.
Sadly, there is a bunch of focus hunting with this adapter. Unfortunately, it makes for a rather large package–the AF-S Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8E on an SL or SL2 body. Battery usage is significantly accelerated. But, at least we now have an option to use very fine Nikkor optics on the SLs.
