fastfashn Posted June 2, 2017 Share #1 Â Posted June 2, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. Â 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, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

darylgo Posted June 4, 2017 Share #9 Â Posted June 4, 2017 It's a great time to purchase the T system. Â 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. Â The 55-135mm is it's equal. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuhau Posted June 8, 2017 Share #10 Â Posted June 8, 2017 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2leica Posted June 9, 2017 Share #12 Â Posted June 9, 2017 That lens is the primary reason I have a T. Â A huge savings versus an M with a WATE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfashn Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share #13 Â Posted June 10, 2017 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). Â Grrrr. Â Ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfashn Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share #14 Â Posted June 10, 2017 One more thing. is there a way to switch between internal memory and SD card when the SD card is installed? Â Oh nevermind. I see that the camera uses the internal card when one is installed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuhau Posted June 11, 2017 Share #15  Posted June 11, 2017 hi Daryglo, 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   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.  Yuhau Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
