I havent done direct comparison, but had Hy6 with Schneider (40mm, 50/2.8, 80mm, 180/2.8) lenses before and now have the S2.Has anyone done a Schneider comparison of LS glass vs. their lenses for Rollei? Or Schneider Rollei lenses vs. Leica S2?
Overall I would say the Rollei glass draws maybe somewhat smoother while the Leica glass "pops" a little more and looks a little more 3d by having a very sharp subject kind of popping out of the image.
Out of the 4 Leica lenses I find the 120/2.5 to be closestto the Schneider lenses.
If you are ineterested I can send you some images, but no direct comparisons
I stay with my comment that I believe the handling and user interface between the systems make a much bigger difference.
By the way I dont agree regarding S-glass being less special than Leica M lenses. It is a slightly different look but having used the S system for some time now I dont miss anything compared to my M-lenses, it is more that now images from the M sometimes do look slightly to smooth/dreamy for my taste.
But I guess thats a matter of personal taste.
