[Leica] SL Lens Choices

[jnelon]

Nathan,
I shoot a lot of polo, and I use my 250mm and frequently double it with my 2x, both on a Leica: the very capable R8/DMR. The results are very Leica. I consistently need "long" and the Leica is very much for me.

I also use the R8/DMR before the action to shoot the tailgates and sideline shots with my 35mm,  60mm and 135mm lenses. 

I also use the same R8/DMR after the action using my 19mm and 28mm for the awards.

All on one Leica, the same R8/DMR throughout. Quite a versatile kit, both  short and long.

If you need a 300mm lens then yes, Leica is not for you. As far as 100mm macro, the 100mm Apo Macro Elmarit is the best lens I have ever held in my hands, period. I am no fan boy, but this is simply the greatest lens I have ever experienced.

Cheers,
Nathan
