[Leica] Big SL Lens ( DIameter) explanation

[Mark Rabiner]

What about the 35 SL?
What you couldn’t bring back with that lens not worth mentioning!

    I like it!  I'm glad I have the 50/1.4 SL lens even though it is huge and
    heavy.  The Noctilux is huge and heavy and I carried it all over Honduras
    and Guatemala and never regretted it.  Now that I need autofocus, Leica
    comes through!
    I will probably never get the 75 or the 90.  I can just walk a little
    closer with the 50. The other focal lengths are covered by my zooms which
    are also pretty fast!  I'm carrying the M and the R adapters but, other
    than the R19, don't really have plans for using them.
