Leica-S Lenses on the Leica SL2 Part 1 : APO-Macro-Summarit-S 120mm f/2.5

This is the first of two videos explaining in detail what you get if you shoot Leica-S (Leica ProFormat = smaller Medium Format) lenses on the Leica SL2. In this first video I shoot the Leica APO-Macro-Summarit-S 1:2,5/120 on my Leica SL2. I explain the lens, its features and specifications, demonstrate how autofocus with the Leica S-to-L adapter is working, show lots of sample images and also provide a "mini introduction" into the Leica-S System (Leica S3) which is the top end of Leica camera systems.

In a second video (to be posted in the next weeks) I will shoot the Leica Summarit-S 1:2.5/35 ASPH CS lens on my Leica SL2 which is a totally different experience than shooting a 120mm macro and portrait lens from the Leica-S system like shown in this video here.

It is not unlikely that I will get a Leica S3 for testing in the course of the next weeks (towards or over summer break) and then will also come back with a full review of the Leica-S system. I am really curious how it is to shoot the Leica S3 with these terrific Leica-S lenses and then comparing images with footage from the Fuji GFX and Hasselblad X and V systems.
