[Leica] Nikon lens to SL body adapter that is AF compatible

[Mark Rabiner]

Yes the Nikon has a 24 and 28 at no extra price. It’s a monster. I don’t use 2.8 zooms at all never owned one.
I do think the extended zoom ratio makes it’s different lens making it an apple oranges kind of deal
I’d get from the 90’s the  35-70mm f/2.8 AF-D half the weight half the cost but an earlier level of lens design.
As far as zooms go many serious people go from their 80-200 to their 18-25 and skip the standard zoom.
I’m  getting an 18-35  this year which I think is the key lens of our era. A wide or ultra-wide zoom.
I was going to get the 20 1.8 but  practicality won over austerity.
The 20 would match up with all my other 1.8’s giving me a 1.8 shooting system which would make me an extra cool guy.
I think if  a photog had one zoom it should be the 18-35.
In zoom mode by the end of the year  I’ll go between the AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm  f/3.5-4.5G ED $746.95 and the AF-P NIKKOR  70-300mm  f/4.5-5.6E ED VR  $746.95. A new E lens.
But right now I’m shooting current Nikor 1.8 primes most all of them costing around $750 except the 50mm.

    And from new Nikon glass, too.  35-70 R is far superior to 24-70 Nikon.  I 
    can pick out photos taken with each quite easily.  Just zoom in and look for 
    CA along the bright edges.  None on the R lens, yet quite visible on the 
    Nikon glass.  R glass is sharper, too.  Not so much at 35mm, but at 70 there 
    I no comparison.

    Based on looking at the specs it seem some R glass are a clear step up from 
    old  back then Nikon or Canon glass.
    But much of them even back then were not any kind of special inspiration.

        Mark.  Are you comparing R lenses with Nikon, canon, etc?  Having shot 
    with
        R and Canon and Nikon, that is not a good comparison.  My R glass far
        outdoes any of my Nikon and Canon glass.  Have you tried the 100/2.8 
    APO?
        Or the 35-70/4?  A world of difference.

        I’m sure if people are going to put R glass on the thing they may as 
    well
        put Canon, Nikon etc. as well. Sony. Olympus. Lomo.
