    John commented on the post, Photokina 2016 – Day 1: Checking Out the 50mm Summilux-SL ASPH and Multifunction Handgrip 8 years, 9 months ago

    In reply to: David Farkas wrote a new post, Photokina 2016 - Day 1: Checking Out the 50mm Summilux-SL ASPH and Multifunction Handgrip This is now my fifth consecutive Photokina, but walking up the steps to South Entrance on opening day still give me a little rush of excitement.

    David:

    Just wondering how this new lens compares to the S 100/2 using the S to L adaptor on the SL camera? And it seems like there is little to no review/experience with the S lenses on the SL. Is the S to L adaptor available?

    Thanks

    John replied to the topic Leica Vario-Elmar-S 1:3.5-5.6/30-90mm ASPH in the forum Gear For Sale 10 years, 5 months ago

    Still available….great available light lens which covers a lot of territory carrying only one large lens…..used it with Profotos, but limited to 1/125 FP shutter speed….there is so much resolution from center to corners, I certainly had to look hard to find softness in at the edges, even on landscapes….
