mxmlitvinov Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share #21 Posted April 29, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I took a chance on leica-by-boris on eBay, since he was selling for 1300 Euro. Transaction was, thankfully, flawless. Unfortunately, his price is now 1750 Euro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 29, 2016 Share #22 Posted April 29, 2016 That's still a good value since they are $2,395 here. Amazing lens for sure. Very thin and pleasing bokeh. Still less expensive than all but v2 used 35mm Summilux-M lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamarch Posted December 20, 2016 Share #23 Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Reviving an earlier topic regarding prime lens. In my bag I carry a 23mm, 35mm and the new 60mm TL lens.

jevidon Posted December 24, 2016 Share #24 Posted December 24, 2016 I recommend the 23mm f2. It is obviously smaller and lighter than the big f1.4, and the 23mm (approx. 35mm FOV ) is more versatile. When I bought my T, the only lens I bought was the 23mm and it is brilliant. Since then, because I am a lazy shooter, I added the 23-55 and the 55-135 zoom lenses.

Daedalus2000 Posted January 3, 2017 Share #26 Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Wow. $1700 is a great price for the 35mm Summilux-TL. Where did you find that? That's quite a bargain for what you're getting. It's a fantastic lens. Extremely sharp across the frame and at all apertures, great colors and microcontrast, beautiful bokeh when needed. Is it possible to show us some demonstration of that? Because the reviews I read and the images I have seen do not show a lens sharp edge to edge..... I wanted to buy this lens but I am not sure it is as good as people say. Yes, colour and bokeh are nice, but about sharpness and microcontrast, I am not sure... Edit... Sorry I just realised this post is old... Never mind, if anyone else has any info I would be very interested to see it, thanks.

It is a very nice system indeed. 35 and 60 are very sharp, not convinced yet about the 23mm overall. How do you find the 60 mm AF speed on your T? Mine is terribly slow in mid to low light, motor seems moving back and forth, It will focus accurately only after restart and this only for a few frames.....

Firmware 1.6.1 was just released and it addresses the close focus mode for the TL 60mm lens. It does seem to focus noticeably faster than before but still hunts for a defined edge or surface. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
