robert blu Posted November 8, 2016 Share #41  Posted November 8, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) At least now we know what the TL is, probably not what we expected but so it is. robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Hi robert blu, Take a look here New Leica TL. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
CVickery Posted November 8, 2016 Share #42 Â Posted November 8, 2016 I'm satisfied...no desire to upgrade...T line continues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A B Posted November 8, 2016 Share #43 Â Posted November 8, 2016 I'm disappointed. Â I will keep using the original T for the moment, but I won't invest further in lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie.lcf Posted November 8, 2016 Share #44 Â Posted November 8, 2016 Sorry to pour salt in wounds, but I told you the TL was only going to be a paint job - ignoring the slight memory upgrade. There is a pattern in what Leica has been doing for a few years now. Â Leica probably could have done more, but as we already discussed elsewhere: if you spend your time goofing around with toys (Huawei, the Sofort, etc.) then you end up having not enough time and resources for the stuff that really matters. Â Maybe, "About the essence" should also be reflected in their product strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A B Posted November 8, 2016 Share #45 Â Posted November 8, 2016 I'm still puzzled. Â A paint job could be fine for a successful camera like the Q, but how do they think to increase sales of a camera that didn't do well in the market? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
julian m Posted November 8, 2016 Share #46 Â Posted November 8, 2016 I know current owners might be disappointed, but I do think this accomplishes at least one thing: Â It will cause all the camera review sites to do a new review of the T with faster autofocus and firmware much better developed than the pre-release state of the initial reviews. In some of the threads on this forum we discussed that the changes were large enough that it might be worth it. Now it'll happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert blu Posted November 8, 2016 Share #48 Â Posted November 8, 2016 better firmware and faster AF are already a (small) step...for new possible customers (like me?)...let's see... robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Morley Posted November 9, 2016 Share #50  Posted November 9, 2016 I am happy with the T's existing sensor it produces results commensurate with my M9 and X-Vario and which I much prefer to the M240, however beyond that the T is a very idiosyncratic camera to use especially if working in a hurry or with action subjects so I for one would be more than happy if Leica left the sensor as is but instead kept updating the firmware to make this otherwise great little camera more user friendly and whilst at it incidentally also sack whoever wrote and illustrated the T's instruction book which just has to be the worst by any company in photographic history, and yes I say that even though I am old enough to remember the early Japanese camera's pidgin English days.

dkCambridgeshire Posted November 10, 2016 Share #53  Posted November 10, 2016 If you read Enche Tjin's recent October interview with Dr Kauffman and Stefan Schulz it's clear that Leica Camera AG is very committed to TL development and its APS-C format  http://www.infofotografi.com/blog/2016/10/wawancara-dengan-dr-andreas-kauffman-dan-stefan-schulz-leica/  Camera manufacturers and companies designing and offering new sensors do not make public their intentions; development can take many months.  The TL is a mild upgrade of the T; there will likely be a TL2 in the pipeline.  dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
