tom0511 Posted October 10, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 10, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Whats your favorite lenses(es) onj the T/TL/TL2? And why? I start: 11-23mm because the images "pop" and its fun to experiment with the wider focal length. My second one fav is the 35/1.4, really nice rendering for images of my kids and smooth Bokeh. Third would be the 23/2.0 because its nice and compact and still fast enough for indoors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropo54 Posted October 10, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 10, 2017 I'm not sure how to rank them, but the 60 2.8 macro is a lot of fun, with superb IQ and the ability to close focus. IQ is on a par with the 35 1.4 TL, which is wonderful as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojtek Posted October 10, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 10, 2017 (I've tried 23, 35, 60 and 18-56 btw, and I own 35/1.4) My number one would be 23mm. It's perfect size, super universal, and capable of bokeh. The only downfall is stopping down of the exposure when close to the subject. I love 35/1.4 but I'm still waiting for my perfect portrait lens (which will be a prime 1.4 and equiv to 60-120mm, because APS-C needs more mm to bokeh well) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VVJ Posted October 10, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 10, 2017 I have the 3 zooms and the 23mm. I use the 23mm about 90% of the time. I wish the 11-23 were faster. Without IS it is rather slow for indoor usage. I haven't gone for the 35mm and 60mm yet mainly because of size and price... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted October 10, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 10, 2017 I have just the 23 and the 60, so it's difficult to pick a favourite. If the 60 was the size of the 23, then it would be no contest, if that makes sense. Otherwise I take the 23 when I'm going out to dinner, and the 60 when I'm going for a walk.

gbealnz Posted October 11, 2017 Share #6 Posted October 11, 2017 Have had the 23mm and the 18-56. The 23 is the only lens that to my mind fits with what I want in the T. I want a prime, and a prime that is sized in keeping with the T body. Currently, any prime that is available for the T is sized more for the SL. Fuji have it right, they produce nice sized cameras, and equally nice sized lenses to suit. All my view of course, I am constantly bleating on about the size that the lenses are becoming. A return to Fuji is likely for me. Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelU Posted October 11, 2017 Share #7 Posted October 11, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) My favorite one is the 23. Tt simply fits best with what I want to do with the T. And it is very compact. The second one is the 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickP Posted October 11, 2017 Share #8 Posted October 11, 2017 I probably use the 18-56 more often than any other lens. However, the Voigtlander Heliar 50mm f 2.0 is my favorite lens on the T .. it is a pleasure just to focus, and the results are very special. Welcome, dear visitor!

tritentrue Posted October 12, 2017 Share #11 Posted October 12, 2017 APO-Vario-Elmar-TL 135-400mm f/4.0-5.6, which exists only my (hopeful) mind. Seriously, though, all three of the zooms are my favorites. I use them pretty much equally, along with the 35TL. As a person who's shot mostly long telephotos for the past several years, TL lenses are the first shorter lenses that have moved me to go look for things to shoot with them. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einst_Stein Posted October 15, 2017 Share #12 Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) 18-56mm is my most frequently used lens due to the need of single portrait, but 11-23mm is my most favorit when I want to take my personal fun or"serious shots". It has to do with my Contax N Zeiss 17-35mm f2.8 zoom that I used in film photo. I also used it with Sony A7R2 with the Fringer AF adapter. But I have never been as satisfied as with film, all due to my disfavoring on A7R2 color rendering. To my surprise, Leica T with 11-23mm completely outperforms A7R2 with Contax Zeiss 17-35mm, even it has much smaller sensor, far less pixel count, seems infetior dynamic range'(according to professional camera review web sites). Oh, I almost forget,besides its superior image tonal rendering and accutant of the lens | camera combination, it is also much smaller. (if you know the size of A7R2 + Contax Zeiss 17-35mm). I cannot thonk of any alternatives for hiking or trave. Edited October 15, 2017 by Einst_Stein 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernlights Posted October 16, 2017 Share #13 Posted October 16, 2017 My favourite lens so far is the 35 summarit f2.4 asph and the Voigtlander 21mm f4 color skopar that I use for 50mm and 35mm perspectives, respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_W Posted October 22, 2017 Share #14 Posted October 22, 2017 Sadly, I was unable to mount my M-converted Hologon G, due to the sensor baffle design; I imagine it would have been amazing on it. That being said, the C Biogon 4.5/21 ZM spends the most time on there. Then the Planar 2/35 ZM. Both of those (actually including the Hologon G) were picked because they have almost 0% distortion. They're really quite unique in that respect. Their rendering is also pleasing, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted October 22, 2017 Share #15 Posted October 22, 2017 The 180 APO for the Leica S system with a stack of adapters! (Just kidding) 23mm for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted October 22, 2017 Share #16 Posted October 22, 2017 I'm swithering between the 35mm f1.4 and my Noctilux................If I had to pick one I would say the 50mm Elmar M is very very sexy on the TL2 :) Pretty dame sharp as well Ive also had some good results with my 600mm f4 lens Welcome, dear visitor!

mgrayson3 Posted October 22, 2017 Share #17 Posted October 22, 2017 The 35/1.4 is the only native T lens I've so far seen that is a match for the better M glass. I use the 11-23 more often, but the 35 is special. It's almost indistinguishable from a 50 Cron on an SL. The 70/2.5 on the S is better, but that's how far you need to go to improve upon it. Not my photo, but taken with my 35 Lux and TL2: --Matt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clavewifi Posted October 29, 2017 Share #18 Posted October 29, 2017 I like the 23mm most. I'm not sure why, but there's, well, something cool or reserved in it's rendering. Welcome, dear visitor!

clavewifi Posted October 29, 2017 Share #19 Posted October 29, 2017 The other lens I'm using on the T is the Zeiss 35mm 2.8. It's well built, sharp and easy to focus. My only concern is - sometimes, no always - it's colour rendering. Faces tend to get too reddish. Anyway, the lens has it's unique, sometimes peculiar rendition. ----- https://stefanenator.smugmug.com Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest VVJ Posted November 13, 2017 Share #20 Posted November 13, 2017 I recently took possession of the Summilux-TL 35mm. I have to admit that as far as image quality is concerned it is a significant step up from the other TL lenses I own (23mm and zooms). Handling wise it is a bit awkward I find, not exactly well balanced, a bit front heavy but all in all not that bad either. Looking forward to the pancake 18mm now...
