Hmm. Looking at the list, I think only the googled 135 might not clear the front of the EVF bump. But otherwise, I'd think you'd be good to go on everything else.

Just a note on the laptop question. The 85MB DNG files from the SL2 place a much higher demand on your computer than the SL601 files did. The latest generation MBP with six and eight core processors should be able to handle the files fine, better if equipped with 32GB of RAM vs. the base 16GB. Older generation hardware will work, but you'll…[Read more]

Yes, your version of Lightroom should work ok. But… I'd highly recommend switching over to Lightroom Classic CC. It's well worth the $10/mo subscription fee to take full advantage of the latest improvements and continual updates.

They are the same. Leica changed the name of the mount when the T (Typ 701) was renamed the TL. Then came the SL, then the CL. They all have the L mount. T mount was confusing. The original Leica M Adapter-T is functionally the same as the current Leica M Adapter-L.

I found when installing this update that I was NOT prompted to save my settings. When the update was done my existing settings had not been altered or deleted. Maybe Leica has found the secret to updating without resetting the camera.

I could not explain better the advantages of using the smartphone as source for GPS Data. Thank you, Scott.
Loved the article.very good review.i own the Leica sl for almost 4 years .would I still be able to use the adobe lightroom to process my workflow with the Leica sl2? I have a15inch mac book pro.

The latest generation MBP with six and eight core processors should be able to handle the files fine, better if equipped with 32GB of RAM vs. the base 16GB.

I own the Leica sl for almost 4 years.i use Adobe Lightroom 6.3 on my Mac book pro 15inch for my workflow.qusetion is will the above support the Leica SL2 ?
My mistake the Adobe Lightroom I am using is 6.12 not 6.3. Will the 6.12 support the leica sl2 ?
Yes, your version of Lightroom should work ok. But… I'd highly recommend switching over to Lightroom Classic CC. It's well worth the $10/mo subscription fee to take full advantage of the latest improvements and continual updates.
Is there now compatibility with profoto for TTL metering? I will be purchasing this camera from you, for use during events and that would fit perfectly with my profoto lights. If no is there a technical limitation or is just the companies decision?
No Profoto integration has been announced at this point.

David, thanks for this post and also for your YouTube overview. Do you have any idea if the SL2 has ultrasonic sensor cleaning like the original SL? There's no mention off it in the SL2 manual .
The color space only applies to JPG files, not to DNG. So, if you don't shoot JPG, there's no need to worry about it.
