This portfolio offers you three prime lenses and three zooms covering an extreme range of focal lengths ranging from 17 to 200 mm. You also benefit from their light weight and compact construction. This ensures you are ideally prepared for any photographic situation ? and there?s no need for an adapter. */Perfect compatibility: even though the sensor is not completely covered by these lenses, the EyeRes viewfinder fills the frame with the picture they deliver and the camera automatically switches to APS-C format. This format is also saved to the image files to avoid the need for an additional cropping step later on. /* Cheers Douglas On 23.10.2015 20:35, Frank Filippone wrote: > Don't bet either way on that assumption...... > > > Frank Filippone > Red735i at verizon.net > > > -----Original Message----- > From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+red735i=verizon.net at leica-users.org] On > Behalf > Of Douglas Sharp > Sent: Friday, October 23, 2015 9:55 AM > To: Leica Users Group > Subject: Re: [Leica] More SL compatible lenses.......but there is a > catch....... > > Frank, > > I gather that should be understood as "it automatically adjusts everything > including the viewfinder and the file crop to APS-C format when T and TL > lenses are mounted". > > Pretty clever if you ask me! > > Douglas > > > On 23.10.2015 17:53, Frank Filippone wrote: >> LEICA SUMMILUX-ST 35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens launched >> >> >> >> Launched (softly) at the SL Launch, Leica T Product Manager Maike >> Herberts was quietly strolling around holding the new Leica >> Summilux-ST 35/1.4 ASPH lens which is designed to work on both the ST >> and SL as a 50mm framed f/1.4 lens.
