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.

Chris,
Yes, quite true, I just haven't headed that way, yet.
I do have the 100mm Macro Elmar R on the bellows, which
works wonderfully. That was what was on the SL when I got it.
But my wide angles are all M, except the 21mm 3.4 Super Angulon
that you have to lock the mirror up to use. I mostly use that on
the M-2 and M-4 as well, with an adapter. The only zoom I have
is on the Oly, for now.
I was confessing to archaic habits. :-)
