Re: [Leica] Which to choose, SL or SL2?

Tom,
I agree with you except that the split image rangefinder in the SL/2 was
added to aid in the focusing of lenses with great depth of field (like w/a
lenses).

The SL works beautifully with macros, telephotos and slower lenses which
would darken the rangefinder in the SL/2.

In effect, isn't the opposite of what you say true?
