there is a 23 summicron TL or a 35 summilux TL, sorry I dont understand your question

The 23 Summicron-TL is f/2 at its widest, and a 23 Summilux-TL would be f/1.4 at its widest, giving a stop faster. Β The Summary (F/5.6), Elmar (f/4), Elmarit (f/2.8), Summarit (f/2.4), Summicron (f/2), Summilux (f/1.4) and Noctilux (f<1.4)Β lenses are also believed to each have a slightly different finger print - more to so as a result of when they were produced and what the design team was aiming for than any real consistency in approach. Β Peter Karbe believes that you should select aperture for depth of field, rather than speed - ISO and shutter speed take care of that.

While the Summiluxes are faster and have a shallower depth of field wide open, they are not always better lenses. Β The 50 Summilux-M ASPH is a very good lens, but the APO-Summicron-M 50/2 ASPH, a stop slower than the Summilux (also an APO lens), is a better lens and is considerably more expensive. Β The Summicron-SL lenses are also considered to be some of the best lenses Leica has every produced.

A 23 Summilux-TL would be f/1.4 presumably and would give a shallower depth of field than the 23 Summicron, which might be welcome with an APS-C camera ...Β 

I'd prefer back, I think.

Thanks Ikarus , I have had already the M 50mm Summilux, Noctilux 0.95 , and Apo Summicron ,Β I just did not understand that this topic was a wishΒ list
I'd like to see of course a TL 23mm 1.4 and a real good TL portrait lens Β  TL 60mm Β summilux 1.4,Β and why not a small Β TL 18-35 with constant f/2
+ a small FlashΒ like the SF 26 but with HSSΒ
