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.
