Leica M-Adapter L for Leica SL2 and SL2-S

- Using M-Series lenses on the SL2 and SL2-S opens up a huge range of both new and vintage lenses. Smooth manual focus can in fact be a realistic and highly effective alternative to relying on autofocus all the time. Nick Rains explains why...
The M-L Adapter is currently included for free with any purchase of an SL2, SL2-S or SL-Range kit. Offer runs until 1 October 2021.
I tried the SL2-s with the 24-70 first and it was fine. Everything you'd expect coming from pro bodies. I then borrowed the camera with the 35 SL lens, it started to feel a lot more like a real camera, not just a tool - then I bought the 35mm Summicron M lens and adapter... what a combo! Using M lenses just makes so much sense. I see a few more M lenses in my near future! Great Video!
Mr. Rains, that was such a joy to watch. You can tell how passionate you are about the SL-System and Leica in general. I just bought my SL (601) and some R and M Lenses.
This is a very nice video!
The man knows what he's talking about and frankly, I want this camera.
My favorite setup is:
1. M10R + M lenses
2. SL3 + M lenses
3. SL3 + Sigma lenses
I prefer to “invest” in M lenses and buy the Sigma for autofocus which are lenses I only use when I go on vacation as it is family friendly ;-) lol
Using my sl2s with vintage summicron 50mm f2 DR , magical
Just purchased the 21mm for my SL2 Magic
Looking forward to getting the sl2-s to use with my M lenses.
If you think using M lenses on a Sony body is the same as this, I’ve tried it …they’re not the same.
Agree, they are not the same..
@@heriyantopiyo1418Would u mind to elaborate more to the above? I'm interested in it.
Excellent photos. SL2 + M-line sounds like a wonderful combination.
Great info in this vid. The kind of info that one interested in investing into the Leica eco system would want to know. Thank you. Cuba ( B&W ) photos surprise me. Most I see are so in color. I guess that 18mm lens doubled in price on the used market when it was discontinued!
I'm using R and M lenses on my SL2-s, and while the experience is great, one thing I terribly miss is AEL. I wish I could customise a button for that, even the joystick (and use some other button for magnification), but it's simply not possible. I hope this feature gets added at some stage during firmware update. Even Panasonic supports this with M lenses, but not Leica.
Great job! Greetings from Portugal
If anyone has a Z series Nikon, the M lenses work well on them also. My 1986 21 2.8 has been in a drawer for decades, but I retried it on M10R and pics were wonderful. Yesterday it adapted to my Z6 2 and it is lovely. Nikon are far cheaper and I have made comparison photos to M10R and Z6 2 same time, place, & lens, and I can not separate them.
Nice work!
“most of us have an M lens around somewhere”
me: “sure sure, ahem, we definitely do…”
Hahaha the M10 is about 660g and the SL2 is over 830g. You'd be surprised how different it feels in the hand, especially over time. Not a problem if you're used to heavy DSLR's, but the weight drags a bit if you're used to M bodies.
I'd love some coverage and information on the TL2 and CL with M lenses. Are the sensors adjusted for M lenses like the SL and M cameras? Especially with wider focal lengths since the crop factor comes into play. Thanks :)
Hi Nick, Dave Hancock in Darwin - I purchased the Q2 as a carry and have enjoyed the files. I am thinking of going to the SL. These days I am doing more and more books as well as commercial and some editorial. Do you think the SL2s files are big enough for a double page spread in a fair sized book? Or will I need the SL2 - particularly for aerials. Cheers, DH
I use Leica SL-P [SL-Pimped] with 3 m lenses 24,50,90. For thumb rest try a modem foot 25cents!!
Excellent! Thank you
I like your video.Thanks.
Hi all experts, please help me to find out which best adapter to fit L mount camera body? Since I have two Summicron lenses which is 50mm and 85mm F2 made by Germany on Leica M4-P has passed to me from my dad and set there for 15 years then now I plan to get one digital camera with L mount adapter with full frame. If some one already tried this process PLEASE help me out especially which best adapter will fit for its. My appreciation to to everyone; Best regards, Kenny
14.02, what is the combo please ?
Have you noticed any anomalies using the SL2 with a Summilux M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH?
With f/1.4 manually selected and adjusting the shutter speed so that the exposure dial shows zero, in playback it does not show f/1.4 rather tending towards for example f/2.0.
Have tried using M and A modes and all three Exposure settings.
The camera has no way of knowing the feal aperture that you are using.... it is just guessing
@@stuartmeador8993 Okay I understand, many thanks for replying
@@johnjury7316 There is a small sensor on the front of the SL2 and SL2-S bodies that measures the light levels - top right as you look at the front. Then it makes a best guess as to what the set aperture was. It's usually pretty close.
Many thanks re sensor location/function and yes the estimated aperture is quite close. Amazing lens and fun to use.
@Leica Camera: Please answer me the following: is the sensor stack thickness and microlens arrangement in the SL2 the same or at least very similar as in the M 10-R for example?
See "Panasonic S1R vs Leica SL2: Sensor Cover Glass Thickness vs Performance for Leica M Lenses, L-Mount Lenses" at diglloyd.
Depending on the focal length and maximum aperture of an M-mount lens, as well as the distance of the lens's exit puil from the sensor stack, each M-mount lens (from Leica, Voigtländer, or Zeiss) may produce excellent or suboptimal results when used on a Leica SL2 camera. When an M-mount lens performs suboptimally, image corners may show coma, astigmatism, color shift, and/or reduced sharpness. Why? Variations in the camera's filter stack thickness can affect lens performance. (Note that it's unclear whether the filter stack thickness is the same for both Leica M rangefinders and SL cameras.) The only way to know for sure whether an M-mount lens will produce excellent results is to rent and then test the Leica SL2 camera along with the M-mount lens or lenses to be used.
@@chesslover8829 Thanks for sharing this - diglloyd is not accessible for free with most articles. I am well aware about this information since I adapted M-lenses to Sony E-mount cameras where this all is well described. After I posted this comment last year, more information came out that the sensor design between both cameras (M10-R and SL2) is not the same. Not all M-lenses work well on the SL2 - I agree with you that the only way to make sure is checking via Google for compatibility and then simply trying.
@@MB-or8js Some professional photographers have reported issues after adapting some M-lenses to a Sony E-mount camera. I have not read any issues with the Leica SL2. Other photographers have adapted M-lenses to their Nikon Z6 and Z7 cameras with no problems.
Does this adaptor work to attach any M lens to a L lens system. Or is this restricted only to Leica?
Hey Kevin. I'm using the Zeiss 21mm 2.8 T* with a third party M-L adapter and it just works fine.
@@franz1068 Thanks for the information. I just got a M-L adapter. I was able to use my Leica 35 mm lens with the Panasonic LUMIX.
Money money money......
If you only want to spend a fraction of what the Leica stuff costs, you can also use a Sony A ... and Minolta lenses and cameras.
Partially, yes. But the much thicker sensor stack of Sony MLCs give often trouble in the corners of the frame with wider M-mount lenses. It works well with lenses 50 mm and above. (D)SLR lenses are always working well on Sony MLCs.
Leica M lenses on the SL2 is a very bad idea because Leica M lenses are not developed for very high resolution sensors. It’s high time Leica updated their M lenses for high resolution sensors
