[Leica] Big SL Lens ( DIameter) explanation

[Mark Rabiner]

https://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-SL/SL-Lenses

interestingly at the bottom of the page here on  SL lenses is listed the Leica Noctilux-M 75 f/1.25 ASPH. 
So I had to look hard to see what was going on.
Big on the page was:

“The new Leica Noctilux-M 75 f/1.25 ASPH. let’s photographers’ dreams come true: Its outstanding imaging performance, uniquely soft bokeh, and gossamer-thin depth of field are as if created especially for use with the Focus Peaking function of the Leica SL.
Optically and ergonomically, the Leica Noctilux-M 75 f/1.25 ASPH. and the Leica SL are a perfect match. All it needs to bring them together is a single ring: the Leica M-Adapter L.”

A big emphasis all around on M glass with the SL I can’t recall how much I’ve seen this on the LUG.

    OK Mark, I like the S system and I use it far more than my M stuff these days, also I do not live in the USA so do not have to deal with Leica USA.
    
    S2-P - sensor replacement after corrosion (sometime issue)
    S(007) - cover peeling off (known issue)
    30-90 zoom - aperture failure
    35, 45, 120 (twice) and 180mm lenses all with AF motor failure (known issue)
    
    So out of my main kit, that leaves only two AF lenses not needing sent for free repair.  All repairs have been done since I moved back to Europe, are carried out for free and shipping is free (UPS) with a three week turnaround including shipping.....

    I think  the new systems now from Leica,  the SL we’ve been discussing as well as the medium format S are working out.
    I’m not hearing about repair problems on these newer system cameras which are more firmly based on electronics less much less on mechanical systems.
    I think they are working out.
