I’ve had a similar situation to you. Commercial photographer for 22 years, which I mainly shoot Canon for work, bought a Q2 as a personal camera 2 years ago, but 28mm isn’t really my focal length, recently sold the Q2 and bought an SL2s body, and managed to find the 35 & 75mm APO’s second hand. Love the files from this set up, and now I find myself taking it to work alongside the Canon’s.
I like ur style of conversing the genuineness in ur voice is as good as ur photography ❤. I am using the nikon Z6ii with the 35mm 1.8S and love the way it shoots but oh how I wish how I wish I shoot with a Leica one day 🙃🙂 wish u many beautiful clicks buddy
i got the 35mm f2 from sigma, which is so incredibly compact AND has a aperture ring (which i adore). the 50 sl summicron is great too though. f2 but such great micro contrast.
oh nice! I will check that out online right now. I would love an aperture ring! and a smaller lens. How do you find it in comparison to the sharpness of the 50 SL Summicron?
I went to the camera store in Austin, Texas to buy the Leica 24-70mm f/2.8 lens for my Panasonic S5II. It was still there so I bought it than they showed me the 90-280mm f/2.8-4. It worked on my S5II and I was blown away with the sharpness and reach of both lenses had. Than they showed me the Leica SL2-S. Do I need to say anything more? Cheers!
@@ToddBrownPhoto Update My local camera store had a Panasonic S5IIX and lenses for sale and do I need to say anything more? BTW I also got the Leica Q3 and putting it in my workflow. Lens review, Solar Eclipse, Traveling and still staying busy while being retired. The only thing is I am enjoying it. Cheers!
Nice to see you doing Leica videos Todd. Welcome! Can’t wait to see your work, especially from Thailand. Are you sure it’s sharper than the Q2 lens? That would be amazing. I also made the switch from Q to SL and for the same reasons as you.
Hi Hatef! Great to hear from you and thank you for the comment! I would say it is equally as sharp to my eye as the Q2. And my unscientific metric more or less is comparing it to all my Sony and Nikon and Canon glass over the years, and the 35mm f2 ASPH, performed similar to the Q2, that being it was sharper than other the others. How are you liking it? Which lens or lenses do you have with the SL?
I made the mistake of buying a Q2 as well - worse decision I’ve ever made. Now I want to sell all of my Sony gear for Leica. How do you find the SL2S? Can u live with a non articulating screen?
hahahha, that is exactly what I experienced. I think the trade-off for stills is worth it. The Sony's are just smarter and the bodies work better, however..as I think you agree, the images just dont look as wonderful as the Leica. :)
hi Todd Brown, thank you for your sharing. Saw some places you shot were very dusty, just want to know how do you keep your gears clean. For the most important part, the sensor. How to do that? Do you have any recommendations?? Since I’m also using the SL2S and I’m wondering how to keep it clean or how to clean the sensor. Thanks!!
sure, a few, so...I know it is difficult, but try your best to not change lenses while out in the elements. If changing a lens, point the camera down. Always have one of those little blowers with you so when you change you can blow the sensor with it and the glass on the inside part of the lens.
Very entertaining, Pal! No way in hell I can pay 10 Large for that camera and lens. I'd LOVE to own a Leica but as a hobbiest I just can't justify it. I'll just stick with my Z6. :-)
Hi Todd, never thought about buying the Sigma 35mm F2 DG DN before this lens was available? A lot cheaper and smaller even compared to this new "cheaper" 35mm Leica. Creative greetings Alain
Funny @@ToddBrownPhoto , I also recently bought the Sigma 50mm F2 as my all-round walkaround lens. I even bought Haoge's retro lens hood for it, which is even more compact.
Hi. Nice video… I am a convinced user of the M System, digital & film. Also have Nikon Z & D camera… but I am thinking to switch to like SL as I like the industrial design and it’s haptics. As I normally shoot with two lenses only, 28/ 90, that would be the great challenge… let’s see, … and concerning sharpness: as I was a user of Fuji X cameras but literally repelled by the sterile sharpness of the outcomes I do not want to go back there. Sold it all. Hope the SL’s sharpness is different, more pleasing. I don’t like this over sharp unreal photos. They may be needed for technical/ medical documentation but otherwise? Unpleasant!
Basically Leica SL and others cameras brand like sony , canon and nikon not much different . The real Leica is the M system . Leica stand for manual range finder , simple operated. SL just like any others , a computer camera . I sold my SL after a while , lots interested and go back to Leica traditional M system .
Over the years I've tried a few times to appreciate the M system (M6, M240) but never gelled. Now own a Q and and recently picked up a SL2-S which I'm liking a lot. Each to their own I guess

Thank you for the inspiring comment Dinesh! Your camera setup sounds great! A 35mm 1.8, I think is the perfect lens!
congrad, Todd!! Such intriguing photos!!

Just got it with a SL2 after switching from Fuji and we'll get to know each other from now on. Really excited about this lens.

👍
I have CL. Thought about getting this lens. It should work with CL right? I love the photos on your video and they look amazing! Thank you.
Thank you very much! Yes, it will work with a CL, however will be a 50mm on that camera as it uses a APS-C sensor

I wan't even aware of it! However I just picked up the 50mm f2 DG DN. If I had known about the 35, probably would have made the jump sooner!

Hello!
I’m new here, love the photos you showcased on this video ❤
I’m on shooting on a S5II!
Thank you Jase!!

Over the years I've tried a few times to appreciate the M system (M6, M240) but never gelled. Now own a Q and and recently picked up a SL2-S which I'm liking a lot.
Each to their own I guess
35mm F2.0 OEM with Pana. You may buy Pana version at cheaper price.
You realize is the same Panasonic lens that costs 500 euros?
Different housing, different quality control, and I have not done lens to lens tests on it. But please do share the technical info.
