Interesting. The Noctilux looks smaller than I had thought, when seen next to the 60mm TL lens.

It looks like the 35mm f1.4 TL lens

Vikas,

The 60mm TL is a tad longer than the 35 1.4 TL, though it is not as weighty as the 35 1.4 TL.  The photo comparison of the Noctilux on the TL was a comparison with the 35 1.4, but you are correct there is not a significant difference in size/length and width. Of course, the Noctilux is heavier.

Here you go: The T with the 60 2.8 macro and the TL 2 w the 24-90 VE

The TL2 is identical in size to the T.

The combination of the 24-90 on the T is a much lighter package than on the SL. 

Rob

Rob, thanks very much. Interesting combination! T with 24-90 is shorter than my Angenieux zoom and even the Nikkor 17-55 I had before; but it is much more fat.

But I guess we get used to any weight and size after a while. You just have to have more exercise at the gym! ;)

Rob, I hope in the next firmware, Leica would fix that bug!... ;)

I love the colors!. 

 

Louis, the problem lies with the combination of glass and an overzealous user, not with the camera.  I love to experiment. 

 

These 20 to 30-year-old lenses were designed amazingly future-proof in terms of resolving capability and corrections.  And even though stacking the teleconverters on a crop sensor camera with a modified lens appears to evoke some imperfections, I'm more amazed by how well the combination does than disappointed by the flaw.

 

With either teleconverter alone plus the 180 APO on the TL2, properly-focused images are superb. With the 2X and 180 on  the TL2 I have a roughly 540mm AOV setup that weighs only around 1.8kg.

 

Here's one more shot with the stacked combo, decent overall but without the feather details the other combinations can render . . . 

 

(As for fixing the silk bug in the previous photo, I'm sure he'll get "swatted" off the cornucopia as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over!  ;))

Rob, I was just joking, referring to your shot of the "Bug". :)

In regards to old lenses, I am using 30/40 year old Nikkor lenses, myself. I really enjoy these manual and excellent glasses. Maybe I am too old fashioned, but I like the rendering I get from my old lenses more than the ones with modern ones.

Best,

Louis

Louis, I got the bug joke just as I was posting, hence the edit to add the remark about it getting "swatted."   :)

 

For some shots I like the blinding sharpness of the newer lenses, and when shooting for pure aesthetics I like the classic rendering and colors of the older glass.  To my eyes, native T/TL glass combines the best of both.  I have ditched my 24-90 and now use my TL lenses even on my SL.

The grandchild

 

18-56mm.  Would have benefited from a slightly smaller aperture but the light wasn't good enough.

This is a very beautiful and classic and timeless photo, dear Vikas. How could anyone not to love it!

What I would do, though, is to cut the top a little and to burn the top right ( the arm of the child ) a little in order to give a more powerful focus to the center of the shot. But of course, this is a matter of personal taste. :)
