Peter L Posted September 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) The Leica T embodies (for me ) everything that one would want in a camera: Outstanding image quality with low ( easy to correct ) noise levels. Great Lenses. Responsive (with the 1.2 firmware update) Quick and direct access to the important controls. Compact, nice in the hands. Beautiful, outstanding built quality. I have had the Leica T for one and a half week and can still return it (2 week return policy :The Camera Store in Calgary). It is a keeper. This is a 30% crop of a grab shot of my neighbour and her lovely little daughter ,auto auto everything. Welcome, dear visitor!

jim sink Posted September 17, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2014 I also believe it is the perfect camera. I will have it for a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelU Posted September 18, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Absolutely right. I have the T since 2 month now. It is perfect to me ... Edited September 18, 2014 by MichaelU Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted September 19, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Specially after FW1.2 I find the camera very intuitive to use (and I am normally someone who prefers tradtional user interface). The IQ, specially from the zoom, is even better than I expected. Edited September 19, 2014 by tom0511 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted September 20, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 20, 2014 A London dealer has a black Leica T 'as new', with 18-56mm Vario-Elmar-T, Visoflex EVF, and M-to-T mount Adapter (all boxed): £2060 for the whole lot! Clearly someone didn't get on with the assembly and it wasn't sold as soon as it was listed. Something of a surprise when most 'as new' Leica is priced at around 80% of retail cost.

It certainly has a different user interface and not as many features and speed as lets say a EM1 or GH4. So the fact it works very well for some people doesnt mean it works for everybody. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a much larger sensor, better build and it's smaller then those two ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted September 22, 2014 Share #10 Posted September 22, 2014 But a much larger sensor, better build and it's smaller then those two ..... + the lenses are really good IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted September 22, 2014 Share #11 Posted September 22, 2014 But a much larger sensor, better build and it's smaller then those two ..... Not a much larger sensor . . . just a little larger . . . and when you add the EVF, then it isn't really smaller either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter L Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted September 22, 2014 My son married his now lovely wife in Osoyoos, one of Canada's warmest areas. The T performed flawlessly, I wasn't the wedding photographer and made sure I didn't elbow him out of the way, although I have shot many wedding professionally. His approach was machine gun like , mine more deliberate. I love this little Leica. Welcome, dear visitor!
