FWIW, the AF is extremely fast, even on the original T. Seems like a terrific compact option! Rob Welcome, dear visitor!

jip Posted January 4, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 4, 2018 I know it's mandatory but the CE mark looks really ugly, the Leica S lenses have stickers on them with the CE mark... I removed them haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropo54 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted January 4, 2018 on the original T with which FW ? The latest I presume Yes, the T has the latest firmware. The AF is extremely quick. Instantaneous. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolfy Posted January 4, 2018 Share #6 Posted January 4, 2018 How fast compared to the 23mm ? I find the 23mm to be the fastest focusing lens I have among all my T lenses and I do not own the new 18mm. Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the 23mm to be the fastest focusing lens I have among all my T lenses and I do not own the new 18mm. Best I do not own the 23 mm and would not know how to quantify a difference for you. Suffice it to say: the 18mm AF is fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learner Posted January 4, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) The silver and black look good together. Apparently the CL+18 kit is all black; no silver option; no mix 'n match. Edited January 4, 2018 by Learner 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropo54 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Would it be possible to post some sample photos shot with the T and the 18? Here are a couple of snaps just taken. I happen to like the 28mm perspective. Jpegs with minimal post processing. Rob Welcome, dear visitor!

Thanks for sharing the shots. I've been keenly watching this lens as I've wanting a super slim set up for my T. I already have the MS optics 21mm pancake but I'm not completely happy with the optics and speed. The 18mm looks like what I've been hoping for. Even with the M-T adapter, the MS Optics 21mm is actually still thinner than the 18mm but I'm not so happy with the compromises to get there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VVJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share #16 Posted January 9, 2018 A small review of the 18mm: http://www.photoreview.com.au/reviews/lenses/other-ilc/leica-elmarit-tl-18mm-f-2.8-asph.-lens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistairm Posted January 12, 2018 Share #17 Posted January 12, 2018 I be found it a fantastic little lens on the CL. It’s definitey the less sharp of all my Leica optics, especially at the edges, but it’s such a small form factor that can be forgiven. I will be selling my MS Optics too. Cute... but really soft as at all apertures and more of entry than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 14, 2018 Share #18 Posted January 14, 2018 A small review of the 18mm: http://www.photoreview.com.au/reviews/lenses/other-ilc/leica-elmarit-tl-18mm-f-2.8-asph.-lens Not quite expert, though... Given its 'TL' designation, this lens has been designed for L-series cameras with APS-C sensors, although it can be fitted to other Leica cameras via an adaptor.

LeicaS2 Posted January 15, 2018 Share #19 Posted January 15, 2018 To Learner: The 18 comes in both silver and black Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learner Posted January 16, 2018 Share #20 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) To LeicaS2: You are correct, but I was writing of the CL+18 kit which I understand is, at present, all-black only. I'm not sure whether a "stand-alone" 18 is YET available in silver. Edited January 16, 2018 by Learner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
