Best prices on the new Leica 35mm 1.4 lens?


Recommended Posts

The Tamarkin website lists the 35 TL at $1995, the 23 TL at $1595 and the T at $1395.

 

Actually, there are some terrific prices on the Leica T now on eBay, used and or new.  My Leica store has preowned Ts selling for $795.

I've also seen the TL 23mm lens for $1000 usd.

Perhaps something new coming at photokina?

You're not wrong there.

I had a T last year, decided to cull the Leica stuff a little, but added a film M at the same time.

Now with a bit of goading from the T membership here, and these awesome prices, I have succumbed, and bought one today.

It will take a week or so to arrive, but I am already anticipating it immensely.

Lenses? Not sure yet. I have an off-brand M to T adapter, so will use that, with my M lenses, (28/2.8, 35/2, and 50/2 x2) plus the couple of R lenses I have.

Ultimately, I figure I'll source a 23mm Summicron, and maybe run a wide fixed, something like the 15mm Voigtlander.

Congratulations, Gary!

Good to see you back soon. I think you already have good lenses, and you are going to enjoy T again! :)

Well Return!
