I think the above photos show the TL23 behaving very well under difficult conditions.  Here are a couple of landscapes (posted separately, I still have not got the hang of the thread picture posting very well ... )

Hi Vikas,

Thank you.  My first thought when I handled the lens was that it was lighter than I anticipated, on the CL it's ok, not too bulky and I used it yesterday for a couple of hours.  Need to see how it goes over the next few days.  I really like the focal range.  As much as I appreciate the quality of the TL 18-56, it is never enough for me as a walkaround and I always feel the need for something longer with me.  I want to try some lowlight shots and see how much if anything the image stabilisation helps, I do appreciate the constant F4, and having the macro capability.  Thought I'd just include a quick look at it on the CL body, see what you think, also with the 35mmTL and the 55-145 for scale.  Excuse my CL body which is starting to look decidedly used, a sign of how much I use and enjoy it.

 

 

It actually looks very large to me but it _is_ a very useful range as you say.  It’s mainly the large diameter that bothers me...

A very old bakery - I had no strong enough wide angle lens with me - so I used the 18 -56 at 18 mm for a pano with the possiiblity of the CL tripod. Worth a trial if you are in the same situation,

Here another stitch with JPEGs out of the CL with a 40mm Summicron, resulting in a 16.000x8.000 pixel file.

an old Cuban cigar-making building in Ybor City (part of Tampa). TL 35 1.4 all shot at f/1.4, inside shot with Leica Flash SF 60. I know bottom shot is cliché but I'm checking bokeh of Summilux. Edited by iShutterbug

I know you want more. :) Here's another. The CL looks smallish compared to the usual medium format and DSLRs and lenses used for high-end portraits but I proved to myself it'll do the job. I can enlarge to 18x20". I want my subject pin-sharp and background like a Monet painting. Because the CL focusses so well my keeper rate is the highest it's ever been.

Just me--I was in shorts and t-shirt. But that's another gallery. :) Seriously, occasionally there are male models at the Meetup shoots I attend, but not that day. This coming weekend there is a shoot on the Victory ship berthed in Tampa harbor.
