   Even now, I still think of reflex cameras a little bit as something 
you use for long lenses, 

______________

Not only.. For close-ups/macros and for use with extreme wide-angles, SLRs have 
some distinct advantages.

For example, a 15mm Super-Elmar (on the SL2, won't fit the SL, as also the 19mm 
second version won't) is a very different animal from a Cosina-Voightländer 
15mm on a rangefinder camera. The ability to get very close and to exactly 
compose and choose the foreground-background relationships gives very different 
results. 
The same holds true, though to a lesser degree, when using 19/21mm lenses.
