How are you liking the ttartisan 75? I hear it's a pretty good lens. I just bought a used 75 apo summicron but I hear the ttartisan is pretty amazing for a fraction of the cost.
Let me know how that works out. I thought about the sigma 24-70 which I believe Leica just rebrands. Anyway, can't wait to start shooting with it. It will leave me torn between the M and the SL. But, the EVF is amazing.
I see you have been a long time user of the SL. How are you liking it? I just picked up an SL3-S and am waiting for the 35 APO SL to arrive next week. I do have M lenses and the M to L adapter but have not really had a chance to shoot it. Been busy painting the house. One of those honey do projects. My goal is the 35 and 75 SL and the rest M lenses. What are your thoughts on that?
Sorry, I completely missed your inquiry about the 75!
As enjoyable as the M lenses were, the level of concentration required to maintain accurate focus (especially wide open), focusing a tele M-lens would make my head hurt! Currently, using late model AF lenses from any source, my hit rate for good focus is very close to 100% I'm even shooting the x2d 100C II and for PR, have zero issues with focus.
IF you require a high % of in focus images in a fast-paced environment, I'd stay with the 75 SL. Either lens, SL or M will give you exemplary image quality. But if you need speed with accuracy, you will be better off with the SL lens IMO.
Great shooting to you!
Thanks for the reply. I have been leaning towards the SL 75 since I already have a 90 for the M. Having said that, I had one years ago and regret selling it. Now that the SL is more popular and repairs can be done here in the states it make sit more attractive. But BOY ! used prices are insane these days.
I do have an opportunity on a 35 SL for a good price. But I really love the 75 focal length.
I have always been impressed with the CL and it's capabilities. I had one years ago and sold it. I should have kept it. Thanks for posting this image. it really drives home the fact that I should have kept my little camera. 😔
