Just Bought a T with 11-23

I've always wanted a really wide angle lens. I would have bought one for my old Contax G, but as you might recall, the 16 F8 was hugely expensive, and also vignetted like crazy. Times have changed.

 

The pix taken with this lens on Flickr convinced me it would be something special. Looking forward to receiving the machine in a week or so,

Congratulations; I'm sure you'll be happy. I know I am with mine.

I held a a bronze TL yesterday and with its champhered edge, esp bottom right, it's a lot more comfortable than the T.

Well,  the T and lens with case were $1600. I'm happy to save the money.

It is a great lens. I also really like mine.

Congratulations ... you just got a great lens and a great camera ..(for about half price). Now get out there and take some photos!

Congratulations of your new camera combo!  I love my T.  I have a T + 18-56mm plus manual-focus lenses.

It's a great time to purchase the T system.  Quality/price couldn't be better and your combo is my favorite, the 11-23mm is highly underrated except by those who secretly are being rather quiet about how phenomenal it really is.  The 55-135mm is it's equal.

Got both the 11-23, and 55-135 for my T ... loving them . The 11-23 is great for travelling .

In addition, they are my only AF lenses for My SL ( using R and M for prime) for its light weight and size in spite of the low APSC 10 MB

Resolution.

Hi Yuhau, 

Assuming you shoot the T or TL, do you see much difference between the T/TL and SL images using the T lenses?  Thanks

[new2leica]

That lens is the primary reason I have a T.  A huge savings versus an M with a WATE.

[fastfashn]

I can connect to the T on my iPhone 7 (Direct) but not thru the LAN. The camera connects to my WiFi network fine. The phone is on the same network. The phone and app won't see the camera (WiFi).

 

Grrrr.

 

Ideas?

[fastfashn]

One more thing. is there a way to switch between internal memory and SD card when the SD card is installed?

 

Oh nevermind. I see that the camera uses the internal card when one is installed.

hi Daryglo,

Hi Yuhau,

I prefer the T lens on T body . for image quality even if it's APSC.

The image quality is very good with some compromise on the body operation ( my take because of my tradional experience)

 

Some how use of T lens on SL seems to be a rather crude crop of the full frame.

T lens on SL is having AF with excellent VF but compromise on image quality. I am not just referring to 16 mb vs 10 mb.

When I feel like using SL full frame body , the T 11-23 and T 55-135 ( inexpensively ..by leica standard ) offer the LIGHT WEIGHT , small size and Wide / Tele zoom angle view in AF .

I normally mount my prime R , M and other legacy lenses like Topcon on my SL for the desired high image quality.

SL lenses are too big , imposing and heavy for me (67) that I would not take it out for picture taking or travelling .

A lens is only as great as I can take it out for use.

In summary , my experience only

 

For image quality :

T orTL body: T , R, M lens

SL Body : SL, R , M lenses.
