Google translating a typo: 'Aktuell nutzt das Leica SL System im Vollformat sowie das APS-System mit den Kameramodellen Leica CL, TL2 und TLden Objektivanschluss.' ==> 'Aktuell nutzt das Leica SL System im Vollformat sowie das APS-System mit den Kameramodellen Leica CL, TL2 und TL den Objektivanschluss.' 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblitz Posted September 25, 2018 Share #64 Posted September 25, 2018 Good move for Leica -- their advantage is lenses, and now they have guaranteed wider market. What makes the Leica digital different from the Panasonic? Menus, design, color palette (software driven) .... but the internals are not really theirs. And that's fine .... FF Panasonic designed for Leica L mount lenses sounds like a very good deal to me ... especially considering how well I see the R and M lenses work on my CL ... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted September 25, 2018 Share #65 Posted September 25, 2018 Agreed, in the digital era it's been possible to match Leica/Leitz lenses with various other bodies using adapters, but that's involved a compromise, so it makes sense to have an adaptable flexible system. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted September 25, 2018 Share #67 Posted September 25, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I bought a number of Sigma lenses this year to go with the Sony A6500 I bought in February - have to say that I have been very pleased with the results. Construction and materials are on a different level to Leica - but so are prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcg Posted September 25, 2018 Share #68 Posted September 25, 2018 Do I recall it menitoned on this forum some time ago that the company said it had aspirations to enter the mobile phone market entirely on its own account eventually? I think it is a Leica mobile phone. There has already been the Leica watch. John Yes, it is a mobile telephone – and true to Leica's traditional values, it will have a separate battery and transmission unit which you carry on one hand and a handset which you carry on the other and which is connected to the main unit by a coiled cable. We should now begin a discussion of what case you would like for it and also what would be the best strap 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodies Posted September 25, 2018 Share #74 Posted September 25, 2018 A licensing agreement. Considering they think changing the colour of a plastic camera is newsworthy I suppose this is a big deal. A proud achievement for the lawyers and accountants rather than the boffins this time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted September 25, 2018 Share #75 Posted September 25, 2018 Well I’ve been saying for years that Leica should look at making lenses in other mounts to increase their market. This opens up a new way into Leica fo those who will buy the Panasonic and Sigma products and might add Leica lenses in the future. I know others here have said for years that Leica needs ‘entry level’ bodies, well it seems this is also a solution to that problem (pending further details of course). They’ve worked with Sigma in the past too (and maybe they’re the mystical manufacturers of the TL lenses). Smart move. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
