Paratom,
To me, the main reason for the adapter is that it allows me to use the SL as a backup of the S. My Landscape kit now is:
- Leica S (Typ 007);
- Leica 24mm Super-Elmar-S
- Leica 35mm Summarit-S
- Leica 70mm Summarit-S
- Leica S-Adapter T
- Leica SL
- Leica M-Adaper T
- Voigtlander 15mm
- Voigtlander 10mm or 12mm
- Filters, batteries, etc.
This way, I can use my S lenses on the SL in case of:
a. S 007 failure;
b. I really need to get 24, 35 or 70mm FOV equivalent (space constraints, etc);
c. I really need to use a longer exposure than the measly 1 minute offered by the S Typ 007.
Stuart, waiting for Photokina makes a lot of sense, as you said it is usually Leica's favourite announcement time of the year.
Best,
Vieri
