TL18-56mm vs TL35mm - that old chestnut…
Leica_newie posted a topic in Leica CL / TL / TL2 / T Forum
hello TL/CL owners, Firstly, thank you for all your threads - I’ve learnt a lot by reading through them. I’m new to the system, indeed, to a serious camera such as the TL2 that I recently picked up at a good price, after years of admiring from a distance. I wasn’t aware that it had been discontinued. However, this forum has assured me that it remains a decent option that continues to have mileage. My only other experience with Leica was a D-Lux 4 back in 2009. It has always been my intention to familiarise myself with the variables, such as aperture, ISO, shutter speed, etc. But I never really progressed beyond Automatic Focus. Committing myself to the TL2 meant that I had to understand all this. The camera body on its own isn’t sufficient; I needed a lens, obviously. The Leica store in London signposted me to MPB and I picked up a Vario-Elmar TL 18-56mm, f.3.5-5.6 ASPH lens in decent condition and for an accessible price. I figured that this would be a good start point to get familiar with the camera. And it is. Took it with me to Marrakech recently and enjoyed playing with it; although got a sense of its limitations, too. The more I read up on the Summilux TL 35mm, f.1.4 ASPH lens, the more I wondered if this would be the better option if I had to limit myself to one lens. Certainly, there’s a thread dedicated to this topic. One came up on eBay recently and I bought it. Now I need to decide if I trade in the Vario-Elmar for, say, a Visoflex viewfinder. Admittedly, not the most crucial addition for a TL camera but I’d feel bad having used the 18-56mm and then returning it for a full refund. Aesthetically, the Summilux is a stunner, isn’t it. It’s also significantly heavier/ bulkier than the Vario-Elmar. I guess that I’d gotten used to the latter when on that recent trip. My question is, can the Summilux do everything that the Vario-Elmar does? Or does the latter, which has a smaller form, and is therefore lighter - have any advantage over the Summilux? The reason I ask what may be an obvious answer to the more experienced photographer is that I took a photo with both lenses last night and feel that the Vario-Elmar provides more detail than the Summilux (3rd pic below; first two are the 35mm). It may be that I need to understand how to use the Summilux better. I’d love to keep both but can’t afford to. Your thoughts/ insights, etc; would be much appreciated.- 10 replies

Moin Leute, ich bin neu hier und habe direkt mal ne Frage zum Summicron 35/2. Ich mag eins für eine M5 kaufen. Meine bisherige Recherche sagt, dass es nicht die wahnsinnigen Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Versionen geben soll. Man liest so einiges. Z.B. dass das Bokeh-King gar nicht so ein schönes haben soll. Bin auf Eure Meinungen gespannt. Bestimmt gibt es auch schon einen Thread darüber. Konnte ich aber nicht finden. Vielen Dank und ahoi Carsten

It was a hard catch. Had to try 8 or 9 times until "boom" - I got lucky! M240, Summicron 35mm, f/5.6, exposure time 55sec. Cheers, HP

Dear forum members. I have found myself in a bit of a conundrum. I bought a Q2 this Jan as my first Leica, and now I also have I a Leica M10-P and a Summilux-M 50mm ASPH as my first rangefinder. LGAS be damned. However, I am finding that the field of view is a bit restricted to what I’m used to, so I am looking for 35mm lenses. Cannot afford a Summilux 35mm right now so looking for some alternatives. The choices I have in mind, in order of price in my country, Thailand, is: 1. TTArtisans 35mm F1.4 ~$500 new 2. Voigtländer 35mm F1.4 ~$600 new 3. Summicron 40mm F2 ~$900 2nd hand 4. Summicron 35mm F2 ASPH ~$2,200+ 2nd hand There are numerous reviews on the Voigtländer, but I’ve heard that it’s a bit soft, and the bokeh is on the busy side. TTArtisans seems very decent for the price. Cannot find many reviews for both Summicron lenses though however. Very new to the Leica ecosystem so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
