Leica APO Summicron SL 90mm f/2 ASPH | Lens Review

Leica 90SL for the Leica SL lens review.

[Narsuitus]

Based on my experience with my 28-70mm f/2.8 and my 75-150mm f/3.5 Nikon zoom lenses, I knew that a 75mm focal length prime lens was not long enough for my needs. Therefore, I purchased the Leitz 90mm f/2 for my Leica M6. I have been very pleased with my 90mm.

I chose the 90 over the 75 because pre-Leica my favourite portrait lens was 85 mm (and 42.5 in micro four-thirds). It's a beautiful lens, but I have yet to seriously put it to the test because of the lockdown. I have high hopes for it.

You left for Canon why not grab the SL2-S vs the canon r5

A very helpful (and honest review) review, especially paired with your review of the SL. I have a Q currently and want to get into the SL system; like all things Leica, its not perfect but my kit is only used for non-professional work and so I can at least overlook quirks (the Q occasionally will remain powered on with the switch in the off position for example). For portraits I have previously used and loved the Nikkor 85mm F1.4G and still have a Nikkor 200mm F2 and love the shallow DOF of both so I was tempted by the 90 but like the idea of something a bit wider but longer than a 50. the 28 on the Q and the 75 on the SL sounds like an interesting combination.
