Thanks for talking about the SL2! I'm a big fan of the M cameras and now also the SL cameras!
Yup, I "always wear a camera" but I also "always have no money" 🤣. It's okay though, the pleasure of shooting Leicas and the amazing photos made from it is totally worth it! Keep the videos coming Lord Thor!
The best thing about the SL2 is that you can now get the SL at affordable prices.😅
Thank you so much for your review. I have been waiting a long time, for your valued comments on this camera.
Played with SL today., thats probably only DSRL a like camera i would ever buy. Really awsome peace of gear.
The capacity of this camera to use so many old and new lenses so easily makes it a great system just like Nikon
Another great video, that strap is just awesome.
I've just bought it this week ! my only lens is the Noctilux but I'm gonna buy one L lens soon.
how did you like the SL2?
Thanks for the video. I hope somebody would put up a good comparison between SL2 and X1D II for people coming from the M system.
Can't wait, my favorite camera.
The waiting is over Thorsten, I got myself the Sl2-s reporter version with the Apo summicron aspherical 35mm this Tuesday.
I'm so happy with it.
I guess someone interested in M lenses would probably go for the M10-R. I trying to understand the point of putting manual focus lens on autofocus camera. what would be the quality differences between the SL2 and M10-R in your opinion. Thanks for the great videos.
Tons of manual focus assistants in the SL bodies using the big lcd or beautiful evf.
M and sl2 are totally different ways of shooting.
Hello.Thanks for your presentation. I would buy a SL2S. I would use my M Lens (i have also a M10P) but i hesitate between the adaptator Leica ring or the Novoflex (half price). What do your think? Is it a réal difference between the both? Thanks for your respons.
i dont know about the camera but that uniform is impressive
Makes me want to keep my Ms and adapt my Zeiss EF mount lenses to a x1d2 instead. I’ve got Canon R5s too, if I want another boring dslr
"you give it to somebody", "you turn the focus here" - that unfortunately won't work as people don't know what you mean by focus
Does the TL lenses fit on the SL2 with autofocus?
Thorsten for a few minutes you had me very confused because of your pronunciation of 'Auto-Focus', which because of your Danish accent you sound like you're saying "Out of focus". No seriously I have seen your work which is AMAZING, thus respect you
which third party 85mm lens you recommend ? Sir . and which adaptor we can use with SL2
Great photos of the Sydney Opera House... did not know you have been to Australia... hello from down under
Hello Down Under. Yes, I've been in Sydney, Perth and Melbourne a few times.
Thorsten may I know what jacket you are wearing in the clip?
Great review. Do you still shoot film for fun?
Very rare that I shoot film. Got cameras and film rolls, but ...
@@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard I recently rediscovered the joys of developing b&w at home. It helps to recalibrate your love for photography.
Great Review Thorsten. Tnx for the mention to our strap and for the link to rocknrollstraps.com
Question: Using R Lenses on the SL2 what about the editing in lightroom? is there a chance of lens detection by the software? like the 6bit codes on M lenses? i m looking for the sl2 beside my m10 but not looking for troubble while editing and lens corrections by hand. thx and enjoy life.
Dear Thorsten, how would you compare the latest Leica >40 megapixels sensors with the previous 24 megapixels sensors in terms of colour reproduction and noise?
Yes, it's coming.
@@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard Thank you, Thorsten!
Hi, Thorsten,
there is one question ... Cameras like the M10 are specially made for the M-lenses. So the sensor-glas is thin etc.
If you for example adapt Leica M-lenses to a Sony camera, the sides and corners of the pictures can become rather poor.
Is the sensor of the SL2 in terms of compatibility to M-lenses comperable to the new Lica M10 or M10-r?
In that case the SL2 can be interesting for those who habe already serveral M-lenses.
The SL2 and SL are optimized for M lenses as well, which can't be said for TL, CL and so on - and of course Fuji, etc other brands.
Hi, I have the same question, M10 had special micro-lens on top of the CMOS sensor to capture the oblique rays angled towards the corners due to the short flange distance in the M body. Do you know if the SL/SL2 sensor have such microlens for the M lenses? Or it's not necessary? Thanks!
Thorsten, I respect you for a lot of your work, but to say Leica was the first to come out with a mirrorless camera is absolutely false. Sony and Olympus were the first mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses, going back to 2010. Sony, Olympus and Fujifilm have been in the mirrorless camera business for over a decade now, and Sony is the worldwide leader in mirrorless, in a league of its own.
Since the original NEX, Sony has come out with the NEX-5, NEX-5N, NEX-7, 6000, etc. cameras with APS-C sensors, and A7, A7R, A7S, A9 and A1 cameras in full frame. Except for the new A1, all the other cameras have had at least two and in the case of the A7R, four generations. The Sony A1 is the best 35mm camera ever made, according to most people. I believe the Sony A7R IV (FOURTH generation!) with 61 MP was out even before Panasonic came out with its S1H and S1R cameras, which Leica then later re-packaged as the SL and SL2, respectively. Let's not forget that behind the Leica facade, it is a Panasonic camera.
So to say Leica was the first to the market with a mirrorless camera, and then Canon, Nikon and Fuji followed, and to not even mention Sony, which is today the co-market leader in photography along with Canon, is preposterous, irresponsible, and insulting to Sony and Sony's customers. My question is simply this: were you saying that out of ignorance, or were you deliberately lying? I hope it was ignorance. I think you are better than this. I suggest you take the high road and acknowledge the mistake. I believe that would be the classy thing to do. Regards.
Do not forget Panasonic who first introduce mirrorless cameras whit the GH1.
The very first Leica M didn't have a mirror unlike SLRs, therefore Leica invented the first Mirrorless camera
Leica Q2 does not have a bigger sensor, same size as the Q , but more pixels. ;-)
Right about that. More MP, same size sensor.
is the image quality as good with M lenses than on the m10 R?
I’ve read some negative opinions on the focusing system, would you agree it’s one of the weak points of this camera?, thank you for this review.
AF will do fine in most of the situations and will be fast enough too. Only when it is less constant is with C-AF sometimes. Good enough for most photography situation, including action. But C-AF for video can be less reliable.

Wow that hat where did you it get from?
Forgot the leica I want that hat desperately.
J J Hat Center in New York.
Magic Of Light What is the name of your hat or the brand.
Leica first to go mirrorless 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I stopped watching at that point!
Who said Danes didn’t have a sense of humor?!
Leica is fifth one which copy idea from Panasonic,Olympus,Sony and Fujifilm to remove the mirror.
Well, the original Leica M is mirrorless since 1925 if you want. But the point is not the mirror but the L-mount that places the lenses at that distance from the sensor, AND the size of the bayonet that allow for "almost any design you can think of" without making the camera huge. Hence, the L lenses also fits on the CL, TL and other smaller cameras with crop sensors.
If you sum the price of all lenses shown in this Video ... its price of my house ;)
One think that make you will never buy a S : the crap flash system
Yes But its so fun to shoot with.
Manila Martin if you don’t need a flash ... yes
For the privileged few
Of course. Its for pros that earn money with their gear. Its not for those that want to take dog and cat images. Im about to buy one but I will pay for it in 2 weeks from my work.
