late9sound Posted December 31, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I had 55-135mm and just bought 11-23mm. While they both work well for me during day light, there are lot to be desired when I try 11-23mm when the sun goes down or when I am out and about in coffee shop, etc at night times. For those who are using the T (or had it) now, do you preferred 23mm or 35mm TL for casual evening usage. Also do you find T acceptable, or annoying to the point you have to upgrade for CL, or TL2. Another though is sell them all and just get a used Q and call it done.... Edited December 31, 2019 by late9sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Hi late9sound, Take a look here Leica T with tl 35mm 1.4 or 23mm 1.7. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Just to say that when frame-it queried your original statement (at least I assume that's so) containing a misidentified lens, you apparently went back and edited your original. When you do that without indicating it, you inadvertently, I'm sure, make frame-it look kind of dumb. So, if you edit because someone's caught a mistake, it would be courteous to indicate that. thanks. As to selling them all for the Q, you'd be without any usable images beyond = 50mm. If that's okay, the Q is a terrific camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags27 Posted December 31, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 31, 2019 duh. I really am dumb! I apologize to all! 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
late9sound Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted December 31, 2019 I am sorry. I meant to say TL 23mm F2. In the future, I will make sure I note reason for editing. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frame-it Posted December 31, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 31, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) i used the original T with the 23mm a lot at night on the street..finally i switched to the summilux M at f1.4..a difference between horrible ISO 1600+ [23/f2] and fairly acceptable ISO 800 [50/1.4], but i guess the 24MP TL2 might be better?

digitalfx Posted December 31, 2019 Share #8 Posted December 31, 2019 you really need both The Summilux is pretty special...but the 23mm is no slouch either. Both are excellent lenses with two different looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that the 50 is the a replacement for the 23? Maybe if you switch to an M, but you have a 75mm equivalent vs a 35mm equivalent, seems to me 2 very different lenses. ISO 1600 isn't too bad on my CL, not sure of the T. Older processor so maybe the noise is worse. Anyway a 24 Summilux would seem to be close, but hugely expensive. a 35 TL Summilux would seem to be the way to go if f2 isn't enough. The 23 is a really good lens, but if f1.4 is desired the 35 TL Summilux would seem to be the answer. But I do find my 35 preasph Summilux to be too tight when I am working and I find the 23 back on the camera.

Guest Posted January 2, 2020 Share #11 Posted January 2, 2020 The 35mm TL is better in low light on the T, because it’ll stop action with a faster shutter speed if you need, but it’s a lot to carry for casual evening photography (rather large and heavy). The 23mm works fine- and is a good FOV for the coffee shop but needs a slower shutter speed on the T because of the f/2 and the T’s practical ISO limitations (1600). I loved my T but upgraded to the CL and never looked back. Faster AF that actually works in low light and the ISO boost extends the usefulness of all the lenses. With the CL it’s more a matter of selecting the lens based on your desired FOV and size to carry. I hope this is helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffreyg Posted January 3, 2020 Share #12 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) 1600 ISO on the CL is still pretty good. Things (for me) decline after that, especially for real detail in shadow, but 1600 is still good. Welcome, dear visitor!

You mean with the CL, you can still use 11-23mm or 18-56mm, etc... at night times? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
