Hello. I have been using a X Vario for the past four years, and have enjoyed using it. But I am increasingly frustrated with its slow autofocus, esp in low light. Also its metering/whitebalance on landscapes is often "off" - the skies often look Cyan rather than deep blue. Of course when the metering is right, the results are superb. Unfortunately when travelling there is often no time to try different exposure settings. I have tried auto-bracketing exposures but that did not prove satisfactory. Note that my VX is not a faulty camera, another XV I tried had similar issues. In view of the above, I am thinking of switching to a TL2 with 18-56 zoom. My questions: 1) Is the TL2 autofocus significantly better than the XV? 2) Are the auto-exposures on the TL2 more accurate? Does is also occasionally suffer from the Cyan sky syndrome? 3) Is the 18-56 zoom comparable in quality to the XV lens, and does it have that fabled "Leica glow" like the VX lens has? 4) Is the 18-56 zoom prone to flare? I have seen a few photos from this lens exhibiting flare, or a washed out background, hence am asking. 5) I have read the the out-of-camera jpegs form the TL2 at standard setting are "flat" or bland. Is this true? I normally use DNG, but on the XV, when it does get the exposure right, the jpegs are so good that it is difficult to get better results from DNG. I would be most grateful for your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am being offered a mint condition TL + T 18-56mm lens at a very attractive price. I already have a X Vario which I have enjoyed using for several years, but the slow & unreliable autofocus has frustrated me. Is the autofocus on the TL better than on the X Vario? I know both have a 16mp sensor, but are they the same sensor? How do the JPEGS & DNG files of the two cameras compare? Would I see an improvement from the TL over the X Vario, especially in the jpegs? Finally, is the auto white balance on the TL better than the XV? I’d be most grateful for your thoughts. Thanks in advance. Regards, Firoze
