Thanks David,
Excellent as usual.
Your YouTube videos were helpful. When I saw how high you were shooting in ISO I was surprised. Setting Auto ISO was the answer, and a good procedure.

Barry,
You wouldn't have any issues printing 24×36 inches from the CL. I have prints at 20×30 inches that look as good as ones from the SL. In fact, it's near impossible to tell them apart at this size.

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.

I updated the firmware on my CL with no problem. On the CL I use the Panasonic 16-35 lens and that seems to be working as it did before this update: well.
However…
I updated the firmware on my SL601. On my SL I often use the Sigma 45DN lens (as well as the Panasonic 24-105). Upon updating and importing my saved settings, the SL defaulted the sensor to APSC. The only way to restore full frame was to delete the settings, reset the camera completely and reset my settings. A bit of a pain! At least the camera is now functioning properly.
