Jools Posted June 20, 2019 Share #45 Â Posted June 20, 2019 Without a doubt, the 11-23mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted June 25, 2019 Share #46 Â Posted June 25, 2019 The 11-23 is the current favourite, though the 23/2 is a lovely piece of glass. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatWorthy Posted July 8, 2019 Share #47  Posted July 8, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've only had the CL for 3 weeks and only with 2 lens - the 35 and the 11-23. It's enough time to conclude that I love the 35 while I'm only lukewarm when it comes to the 11-23. Percentage-wise, I have many more keepers from the 35 and this despite being a wide shooter. I have not shot with the M lens on the CL enough to conclude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you'll grow to appreciate it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gathered, this lens has been unavailable for quite some time now. The focal lengths of this lens are must-have for me. A bit surprised that it blows the highlight quite a bit despite compensating and metering for it, especially when compared to the 35 which seems to do much better. Cheers.

Torpille Posted July 16, 2020 Share #52  Posted July 16, 2020 The one I use most of the time and the most versatile is the TL 18-56mm Very good IQ and fit the CL perfectly. Summicron M 35 mm ist a great option too. cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica CL + Voigtländer 10mm f/5.6ISO 100 @ f/8 @ 1/160 I'm dithering between 12 and 10. According to reviews the 12 has the edge in image quality, but how relevant is that?

LocalHero1953 Posted July 16, 2020 Share #54 Â Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Currently my favourite is the 35. If Leica ever made a 23 Summilux to the same standard that might displace the 35. But if I take two lenses, then they are usually the 11-23 and the 60. Edit: just looked back to my response last year on the first page: since then I've sold the TL2 and the 18mm and bought the 35TL, NOT the 35SL. No regrets!

According to reviews the 12 has the edge in image quality, but how relevant is that? I dunno, jaapv. I recall when I was looking, the 10 seemed to net slightly higher marks on resolution, contrast, and correction (can't say "image quality" without defining what that means more specifically). Didn't matter to me one way or the other when I purchased as the differences seemed inconsequential, and I've only been delighted with the 10mm. It remains one of my favorite lenses to use on the CL since I bought it. It does have its limitations, however. The focal length is so short that it's mostly a scale focus lens unless you're working very very close up, and diffraction sets in very quickly. I basically leave it at f/8 most of the time for best results as diffraction is noticeable at f/11 and f/5.6 loses a small amount of sharpness at corners and edges. I have tossed it onto the Hasselblad 907x/CFVII 50c camera occasionally as well. It vignettes quite a bit on the 33x44 sensor, however cropped square to just within the vignetting it still nets an ultra-ultrawide FoV of about 128° on the diagonal, rectilinear image that is incredibly detailed right to the corners with minimal smearing. G Edited July 17, 2020 by ramarren 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 17, 2020 Share #56 Â Posted July 17, 2020 Thanks, Godfrey. Most reviewers test the lenses on Sony and complain about colour shift/cyan vignetting. I assume that is no issue on Leica cameras? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzX Posted July 17, 2020 Share #57  Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Most time I use the 18-56 and the L 60 macro. The Panasonic 16 - 35 is a great choice too, not only on the SL 2 but on the CL too. Regarding wide angle the 2 mm plus the crop make a considerable difference. And for journeys I would probably take the Pana and the 55 - 135 with me, perhaps add. the L 60 macro. Bur if I would have to decide for one lens only it would be the 18-56 plus my Marumi 5 diop achromate  for macros.

Michael Markey Posted July 17, 2020 Share #58 Â Posted July 17, 2020 I`m new to the CL so only have one native lens , the 23 . Impressed with what it does . Other than that I`ve been using my M glass . I take a far amount of equestrian shots so the 23 is a bit short and I`ve just ordered the 55-135. My go to is usually the Canon 70/200/2.8 for this sort of stuff so I`m hoping that the 55-135 doesn`t disappoint . Obviously it`ll be different .
