The Leica 75mm lens at BHphoto.

Reddotforum reviewed the Leica APO-Summicron-SL 75mm f/2 ASPH lens:

If the 75 SL is any indication of what’s to come, the SL lens line might very well set the standard for the very best in optics from Leica. Fine details are resolved with precision. Out of focus rendering is silky smooth with cinematic bokeh. Contrast and color are spot on. Challenging lighting is readily handled. Distortion, color aberrations vignetting are nowhere to be found.

And, while I didn’t have a chance to test the 90 APO SL yet, just judging from the MTF charts, the 75’s slightly longer sibling appears to be slightly superior in the sharpness department, but at this point, we’re splitting hairs. Both lenses are truly reference class, and class-leading at that. Besides their stellar imaging capability, the new line of Summicron SL lenses finally come in a size that SL users have been clamoring for.

Ted Forbes shared his first look thoughts on the two year old Leica SL camera:

Tony and Chelsea write:

The first round of the mirrorless wars are over – Canon released the EOS R, Nikon released the Z7 (and announced the Z6), Panasonic announced the S1 and S1R, and Fuji launched the X-T3. We were there at the events as the camera companies battled to win back the full-frame market from Sony. We think some of the camera companies did a great job, while others made some serious mistakes.

This is actually the very first time someone made a hands-on video with the prototype!

Recently, Panasonic announced their move into the Full Frame mirrorless market with the S1 and S1R. We were very lucky to get hands-on in one of the first showings of the camera outside of its announcement at Photokina. We don’t know much more than what was announced at Photokina, but this was a great opportunity to get a feel for the ergonomics of the camera.

The HybridShooter sent me his new video where he shares his S1 / S1R Hands-on Impressions from Photokina.
