Marc:
I am quite happy with the S lenses. I have used the 35, 70, and 120. The autofocus is slower with the S lenses than with the SL lenses, but I am able to achieve better focus using the toggle, can take advantage in bright sun of the ISO of 50. Additionally, it 'changes' the lenses to their true 35, 70, and 120 focal lengths (as compared to when used on the S007), so one picks up 3 exceptional primes for the SL.
The SL is a bit more nimble, size-wise, than the S, as well.
I would add that the images are beautiful, the colors are great, but they do not have the same feel as images from the SL lenses. A different but beautiful character to the images. Perhaps not so biting in contrast as the SL? Hopefully looking at the examples I have posted will give you an idea. Not "better" not "worse" but very natural and smooth (whatever that means!) Very nice bokeh, too.
Here's one with the SL and S 120.
The adapter is a bit pricey, but pre-owned S lenses can be found at some exceptional prices. The lenses are big, more in line with the SL 24-90, but, again, what they add to the SL 601 for their prices is well worth it, IMO.
Regards,
Rob
