whiteboat Posted July 13, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2017 TL system is made for APS-C sensor. Considering Leica products, Leica have only launched one product in one system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einst_Stein Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted July 13, 2017 Leica already lauch two systems in one mount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einst_Stein Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted July 13, 2017 Leica T/TL mount has been planned with both 36*24 and ~24*16 in mind. There is no problem at all if just go fit in the sensor. It is the rest of the electronic stuffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle123 Posted July 13, 2017 Share #7 Posted July 13, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Think not possible. Someone correct me if I am wrong who actually knows the physics. To get a lens to fully project on larger full frame sensor, needs more distance. So, the body would need to be thicker, like the M or the SL. Plus, my guess, as the sensor is larger on FF, the height of the camera would need more room. I haven't quite figured out why Leica made the T and the SL the same mount, except maybe hoping more buy both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't quite figured out why Leica made the T and the SL the same mount, except maybe hoping more buy both. The mount to sensor distance in the TL and SL is identical, and so their basic body thicknesses (excluding grips etc) are the same. A SL lens would project onto a full frame sensor in a TL body, as would a M lens in a M-L adapter. Its not the body that's the problem, its whether the lens is designed with an image circle big enough - those for TL lenses are not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted July 13, 2017 Share #9 Posted July 13, 2017 I can think of mant reasons but to start with is heat management and battery requirements to run a larger sensor. I guess we're looking at Q sizes to have interchangeable lenses. Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einst_Stein Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted July 13, 2017 Battery life is a good argument. SL battery power capacity is about 2.1x of TL. If a new SL using the TL battery, the battery life would drop from 400 to 190. Considering the new TL2 battery life is dropped to 250, 190 is not that unacceptible. Heat dissipation is not a problem, in fact TL body is a much better heat sink per unit area or volume than SL. One more issue might be the handling and balance with SL lens. The TL body could be too light or too small. It could make sense if Leica is working on full frame lenses with size between the SL and TL. But this is unlikely in the near future.

IkarusJohn Posted July 13, 2017 Share #11 Posted July 13, 2017 It seems the TL is an APS-C camera, and is not planned to be anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ph- Posted July 13, 2017 Share #12 Posted July 13, 2017 It seems the TL is an APS-C camera, and is not planned to be anything else. This is a pity, I would pick up a 35mm TL. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_S Posted July 14, 2017 Share #13 Posted July 14, 2017 Not sure the price point of FF would be attractive, and FF also has its issues.Am I the only one who thinks the APS-H size of the M8 was the sweet spot for digital in terms of size/price/performance with all lenses? Now that would suit the T (or X) nicely. APS-C feels just like a bit too much crop. This is a pity, I would pick up a 35mm TL. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if they develop a FF version, I suspect it would have a new name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevidon Posted July 18, 2017 Share #17 Posted July 18, 2017 Leica designs their interchangeable lens cameras so that all Leica lenses can fit on all cameras. The Leica T family has a very thin body. To use Leica FF lenses on this camera, the distance from the sensor plane to the lens has to match the original distance of the camera for which the lens was designed. That is what the lens adapters are for. So, assuming there was enough room for a FF sensor, which I doubt, the camera body would have to grow thicker or the lens adapters would have to be longer. Short story: FF probably won't fit in the body unless it is made higher and thicker. The T was made to fit.1 into a more affordable price bracket so that meant smaller and lighter lenses which results in the smaller APSC sensor. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you want a FF Leica, buy a Q for more money and if you want interchangeable lenses, you'll have to buy an M or SL. The other option is to change brands, but then it wouldn't be a Leica.

IkarusJohn Posted July 18, 2017 Share #18 Posted July 18, 2017 I think the register distance (mount to sensor plane) for the TL and SL is the same, so a full frame TL wouldn't need to be thicker or necessarily bigger. No adapter is needed for SL lenses on the TL ... But, the APS-C lenses are smaller, and therefore lighter, than the SL lenses. I'm sure a comparison of the L mount 11-23mm zoom for the TL (APS-C) with the new L mount 16-35mm zoom for the SL will bear that out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted July 18, 2017 Share #19 Posted July 18, 2017 SL, M, R and other lenses already fit and work on the T/TL with existing adapters. Body thickness is irrelevant to whether they work on FF or APS-C sensors, and there's no optical reason why the body would have to be higher or wider. A full frame image circle is already projected into the body at the sensor plane with these lenses. It's just down to whether a larger FF sensor can be fitted in the space (and whether the extra heat can be controlled etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
