QUICK SHOT: Leica SL and 50 1.2 Hexanon
By Rai
Hi Steve, Brandon
Please find attached an image I have shot using the Leica SL and a Hexanon Limited 50mm, 1.2. I took the plunge and bought the SL after reading your review. Best choice I have made, I do not miss the M one bit. However, I think I need to stop visiting your great site, due to your almost Jedi like words gently guiding me to purchase new gear. I am going to end up with no money!
My Flickr site is https://www.flickr.com/photos/124324786@N08/ if anyone cares to take a look.
Kind Regards.

Excellent shot, plus I really like your flickr collection. You’ve obviously got a plethora of great cameras available to use, do you work in a camera shop? (just joking) Maybe you’ll be using the SL from now on but my favourite shot of yours was actually taken with a Canon 5D iii (shock, horror) , wishing you a happy association with the Leica SL but it looks like you can take great shots with any camera, or iPhone.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I will be sticking with the SL for a while, although my dilemma is what lens to keep, what to sell!
Could you tell us a bit more about the subject of this very striking picture?
The shot was taken in Hyde Park and the two women were there urging passers by to repent their sins I believe.
nice shot! flickr says it’s Tele-Elmarit 1:2.8/90 though.
Indeed, I think the camera is making a guess as I am using the M adaptor.
Nice images indeed…especially the ones where the subject is the light itself. I just feel like the B&W ones suffer from an overzealous darkening of the shadows, the color ones look like they’ve been through one too many VSCO/Nik round trips and i notice a general overuse of heavy vignetting.
Definitely you have eye and talent, I wouldn’t hide them behind some photoshop onanism.
Congrats for the camera purchase!
Thanks for your views.
Some really beautiful images on your flickr site. That SL is in good hands.
Many Thanks.
