ROM lenses including the current version must be converted to 3-cam before they can be used. The conversion costs about $200. I don't know about sartorius but if the lens only has the 3rd cam it might also have the R-only bayonet which must either be machined to fit the SL2 or replaced with the appropriate mount.
