I did some tests with TL2 and a 1935 M39 lens, comparing it to more modern TL 18-56 lenses and I want to share them so you can see the results.
According to details:

I present a photo taken with each lens:

TL2 + Leica TL 18-56 f3.5
ISO 1250, 35mm, Ex. 1/100

 

 

With TL2 + Leica M39 Elmar 35mm F3.5:
ISO 1000, 35mm, ex. 1/100, F5.5The two photos have been edited with Camera RAW
The 18-56 TL photo was more colorful but this Elmar lens is over 80 years old, I think it performs very well and the handling is smooth and robust. I believe it is to outlast the TL 18-56.

I was looking for a good quality lens that would make the Leica CL as slim as possible for biking and walking with a small bag. I wanted M-mount so that I could use the lens on other cameras easily ... I have tons of mount adapters. I became curious about the MS Optical Aporia 24mm f/2, a tiny lens made by hand in small batches. They're not cheap, but the samples I'd seen convinced me that it was likely worth the money. 

 

 

It makes the Leica CL only marginally larger than the Panasonic GX9 with an Olympus Body Cap Lens 15 or 9FE fitted ... and four stops faster than the BCL lenses! Truly an amazing achievement. 

I'll be testing it today, on my cycle ride and walk. But I did a quick snap of my always (ahem) accommodating partner this morning to check it out. This is at minimum focus (about 0.5m) and f/2.8, 1/40 second, ISO 1600: 

A ~4000x2800 pixel rendering is there (about 1/2 resolution) if you jump to Flickr.com. Sure looks good to me! 

On a lark, I fitted it to my Leica M to Hasselblad X adapter and did a couple of similar snaps with the Hasselblad 907x. With the frame center-cropped square, it fills the frame nicely, with very little drop off, and makes similarly lovely rendering. The FoV is equivalent to a Hasselblad SWC but with a 40mm vs 38mm lens, and 2.5 stops faster so you can approach the same FoV-DoF relationship. MUCH much lighter and handier than the 907x + XCD 21mm f/4 lens! ;) Of course, I do suspect that the native Hasselblad XCD21 lens will outperform this tiny little thing by a healthy margin off-axis... LOL! 

I'm happy. :)

Hi all, 

My first post in the Forum. This is my first holidays with my new TL and I enjoying it. To save some money, I bought the ELMAR-C 1 :4 / 90. The reviews were not that good, so I was a little skeptical, but I'm  really satisfied with the results.
