Just received my 11-23mm which I'll be using more and will be on body permanently rather than the 18-56mm as I favor wider angle landscapes. Does anyone know which Leica lens case would fit the 18-56? The fabric pouch won't give enough protection in my camera bag. Thanks!

So I recently bought preowned SL with the thought in mind that I want to built up lenses first over the next few years and then hop over to a current SL model probably SL3. I got plenty of M glas and will buy the Leica 24-90 sometime next year when I am back home in Germany. In the meantime, I am able to get the TL 18-56 at around 1100$ preowned alternatively Sigma 24-70 is in same range. I know with the crop in pixels the TL lens on the SL is a bit of a waste but am sensing that the TL lenses on Sl2 kinda megapixels are an epic low weight option. What to do? I know there are few threads on Sl18-56 but it doesnt seem that it ever really caught much interest. Sigma users seem happy but if I get a 24–90 anyhow does this make sense? Since the wide angles are on the map to appear do we think Leica would do a lower weight 24-70 themselves? Or is this to close to the 24-90? Cheers JK

I have a model T fitted with an 18-56mm Vario-Elmar-T zoom. I usually have the camera set on bursts of 3 shots for the -1,0,+1 ev exposures. So when I do take any shot the top red light on the body, (which I assume signifies writing to the SD card) stays on for a short period while the data is written to the SD card. Now if I alter the zoom setting while that red indicator is lit, the red light stays on and the camera freezes-up and will not allow any more shots to be taken. While this does not happen every time, it happens often enough to be a real annoyance. So I then have to turn the power off and on again, to resume picture taking. My thoughts are that moving the zoom ring sends data to the body, and if this is done while the body is writing to the SD card, the conflict causes a program crash. Any idea if this indeed is the problem and cause ?
