Stealth3kpl Posted October 12, 2019 Share #41 Â Posted October 12, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you're happy with 28 to 35 go for Q, otherwise CL. I've used a Q and an M-Pwith 50mm, and it worked very well as a combo, but if you just want one camera and versatility get the CL. Don't over think it.

'Actually' Godox flashes are working on my SL as they should. I don't know about the S, but your original post referred to the SL. I should have added 'IMO' to the statement 'It's like using P mode for autoexposure'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eev776 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share #43  Posted October 22, 2019 Finally I purchased my first Leica today. I got CL with APRO-Vario-Elmar-TL 55m-135 lens, planning to get 23 or 28 mm lens for wider angles. Camera feels amazing looking forward to do some first test tomorrow! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apo-Vario 55-135 is amazing, the 60 mm TL is at least as good. I don’t  like the 23 mm Summicron TL that much (although it is a good lens) and  ordered the 11-13 mm TL.

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I'm thinking maybe getting 11-13 mm TL lens, but it's a bit too large for me to carry around. I want to have small size M lens on my camera and my huge 55-135 in my camera bag when I need it. I do lots of telephoto photography, it just depth of telephoto is beautiful to me, when I soot downtown LA architecture or Hollywood hills with old neon signs. I tried yesterday at the camera store Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH. that lens is insane, but it's just too expensive for me now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUSe Posted October 22, 2019 Share #49  Posted October 22, 2019 I should correct myself - of course it is the 11-23 mm lens I was speaking of . Yes, it is heavier than the Summicron TL. The latter is lightweight and small (except that the lens shade is huge), if you like  a 35 mm equivalent lens, it is pretty fast and quite good with an Elpro macro lens. It depends on your purposes.  I have used the 18-56 Vario TL for my last holiday exclusively and often found that 18 mm were not quite wide enough. On the other hand I do like Apo-Vario 55-135 for its smooth and colorful images and its creamy bokeh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 18, 11-23 and 18-56 for my CL and love all 3 off them. I think all the lenses for the CL are great, just a matter of works for you. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that it is seen as a kit lens by some reviewers. Bollocks! It is  a true Leica quality zoom. With the 55-135 you have a fantastic travel camera. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephengv Posted October 28, 2019 Share #57  Posted October 28, 2019 A little bit offtopic, do you think the 35mm 1.4 Summilux TL can match the Q’s 28mm Summilux Lens? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TL 35 I think has a slightly "more natural" rendering. But please don't ask me what I mean or to prove it! 🙂 It's all in the gut. The Q's rendering for me is "wow", but I tend to actually be drawn more to photos taken with the TL 35. I have the original Q and a CL with TL 11-23 and 55-135 (I sold my 18-56 to acquire the 11-23). I prefer the renderings from the 2 TL zooms I have to the renderings from the Q, and I believe the zooms, while excellent, don't match the TL 35 or TL 60, both of which are extraordinary and pretty much compete with the L primes (which may be the best glass in all of photography today).  Edited October 28, 2019 by bags27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only negative for me is that I wish it had closer focusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
