I am a recent holder of Leica TL2 (silver).
I have never had this system and until I experiment with the camera, I'm afraid I will be a bit heavy with the questions. (I apologize).

Start:
At this moment I only have the camera body and I am testing it with M lenses.

I plan to buy the following accessories:
1.- Glass protector of the camera (one that is moderately good).
2.- Objective of the TL system. (could be 18-56). Or which?
3.- Visoflex Type 020.
4.- Protective case.

Which of the 4 accessories is considered a priority?

(4) I like GARIZ and in black, in TL2 (silver) I think it looks good. You have access to the card but not the battery, which would not be a big problem if it is charged by USB.

A picture is worth more than many words, see the picture:
Any advice or suggestion will be well received and very grateful.

Congratulations on your choice!

The visoflex will greatly aid in shooting images outdoors and in obtaining precise focus with manual focus.

The T 18-56 is an excellent all purpose lens.

The case is nice to protect the camera, but I always prefer to have ones with battery doors.  

I like having the glass protector to protect the rear screen from scratches over time.

So . . . you have to invest in everything! :D

Thank you friend for your prompt response.

If I want GARIZ I have not found for these cameras free access to the battery.
Do you know any other brand equivalent to GARIZ ?.

A second battery, is your purchase urgent?

I would search eBay.  Arte di Mano cases are very beautiful but quite expensive.  

Here's one other option that I found quickly looking.  TP Original Black Leather Half Case for Leica T Mirrorless Camera #43551 | eBay.webloc

You might also check the sites of "Angello Pelle: and "Luigi", who both make very nice cases.

Gariz cases are very nice, too, but for me the battery door opening was a nice convenience.

Thanks friends for the information.
What do you think of the straps that come from the origin?
I am used to using more flexible straps. I don't know if it's about getting used to its hardness or if it will also have to be changed.
I don't know how I will manage before my wife to justify so many expenses.  
😓 😀

@gerri_k

It means that you use the hand rope and the strap to carry it hanging around your neck. Is that so? ..
Can you show it with an image? ...
Thank you.

The 'Leica Photos' application to transfer photos from the LT2 camera to the iPhone 6 works.

I do something wrong, I don't get them to connect with each other.

I need help please..

In the end I managed to link the two cameras and be able to use it as a remote control and pass photos from the camera to the mobile.

 

This thread has helped me:

The advice given is for Leica CL but the same applies to TL2.

I recently downloaded the “Leica TL2” app from the AppStore and this works OK on iOS 13 on an iPhone SE which is the same internally as an iPhone 6 AFAIK.

I only used it to pull a jpeg few images I needed but it seemed to connect for camera control/virtual viewfinder etc....

Gracias por responder y por el enlace de Amazon que me dejaste, el envío a España tardaría unos 15 días.
El enlace ha servido como referencia para continuar buscando.

En Ebay he encontrado uno que, dado que está dentro de España, tardará solo unos días en recibirse.

Those who have been using this camera for some time, what do you think of the original rubber strap?

It is said that the strap of origin of the T, TL and TL2, is what the designers thought for this camera:

I have read, in addition to others, things like this:
"It comes with a very different type of strap. It is made of rubber. It is well attached to the shoulder and secured in a unique way."

As I am used to wearing leather straps, I notice that this is something heavy and rigid, although over time one can get used to it.

Any leather strap you choose, you also have to buy 2 connectors.

What is your advice?
