Is that 12-100mm mounted on the camera as shown?
No
Looks turned clockwise?
Looked at from the front, it would need to go a little clockwise to drop into the mount, then further clockwise to
engage the mount and lock in.
It's prettier than that, too. :-)
I read somewhere that big primes are for resolution requirements beyond 100 Mpx?
That must be from someone uninformed, smokin' wacky weed or with undisclosed info about new sensors. The Nikon D810, at
36 MP, already suffers serious moire and false color artifacts with fine detail, especially repeating patterns.
100 MP on FF is going to require a huge development in Foveon sensors, super quick multi exposure with sensor movement
to sample every pixel point with a sensel of each color, or some other new tech.
I find it hard to believe these lenses are anticipating such a development.
I've heard it suggested that Leica was in a bind, as they could only continue to lay claim to the top by meeting or
beating Zeiss at the super-monster, super performance game:
OTUS 55/1.4 - 12 elements in 10 groups. One double-sided aspheric lens and six lenses anomalous partial dispersion glass
elements.
92x141 mm, 970 g.
Leica SL 50/1.4 - 11 elements in 9 groups. Two aspherical elements and four
anomalous partial dispersion glass elements.
88x124 mm, 1065 g. (A bit smaller - but heavier.)
I'm not claiming, BTW, that these aren't fabulous lenses. I imagine they are. It will be a while before we know, if it
is possible to know such a thing, which is the performance winner.
I do know that my Oly 25/1.8 and HR mode on the E-M5 II will resolve as much or more detail as this lens on an SL - when
shooting unmoving things. ;-)
