(though other then the 50mm 1.1 I've not seen anything I like from this guy)Wow, that's a sweet little thing.
Question which jumps in to my mind: is this more a lens for film, or can the M sensors handle what must be some steep ray angles?
Not sure.. I'm in Japan now, I might look for a way to give it a try if I have time.

Thank you very much Charlie
Adam, that's a very interesting mini-review. Thank you so much for posting it. It confirms my suspicions unfortunately. Leica M lenses are expensive because they are made in Germany, assembled by hand, miniaturized with the use of exotic glass and aspherics ... etc. Now we have this 50 lux which is made in Japan, with seemingly no efforts to make it small, and apparently quite a few compromises in the lens design to lower its production cost such as distortion correction by software. I think Leica is debunking its own myth about the high cost of manufacturing, and they are just making huge profits.Yeah, that's my take away from all of this.Thank you for the mini-review Adam! Agree with everything said about the Lux-50-SL. It definitely looks modern and somewhat generic. M-Lux has imho more character which I appreciate more these days. And The barrel distortion is bit surprising. On the other hand I am relieved that SL, nor it's lenses, really does not really get to me like the M does. Now if only I could stop thinking about the new Hassy... 
Hahaha.... Yeah the little X1D is tempting. Especially the all black special edition. The issue is that Hassy has never ben good with updates. And currently the start-up time is 7 seconds. So who knows when that'll be improved.
Also the lenses are a bit slow AF wise and aperture wise, which may not be a problem for some, but is limiting for the type of shots I like to take.
Honestly, I feel stupid that I sold off my color M cameras and all my M lenses save for the 50APO (mostly out of anger towards Leica). IMHO system wise the M is the best it gets. Though I am appreciating the minimal approach I've been taking lately with the APO and monochrome. I had way more fun shooting in Japan yesterday then I did today because today I brought out the SL+zoom.

This thread moves too fast for me.. excellent shots everyone as always.. I am always playing catch up
Edward, those Cyprus beach shots are superb.. hope you had a good time there..
Adam, had a quick browse of your 50Lux SL shots, renders very much like the S lenses to me.. thanks for sharing..
Michael, are you going to add the "new" 28 Summaron to your vintage Summaron collection? 35 Summaron is an excellent lens. Enjoying your recent posts with vintage lenses.

Rain and fog = photo op, I decided to take my camera out when I walked my son to school this morning

Haven't posted an image in ages. Lots of work not much play. I've been living vicariously through the incredible images on this thread.
Leica held an S event in Sydney yesterday. It's really hard to even see, let alone play with, S glass so I went along. Laid back and informative afternoon and well worth the time. They had all the lenses I wanted to see to play with. The one I really wanted to see was the S 100mm Summicron. Had a very very quick go with one.
Going to be an expensive afternoon.
