tripc0de Posted September 20, 2023 Share #1 Â Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi I have just bought a TL2. I think it's a design classic. What do people think is the best wide angle to use for mountain landscapes? I notice that the Sigma wide angles start at 14mm which is a bit larger than I would like. I used to use a 9-18 M.Zuicko on Olympus for example. I see that Laowa have some fixed prime wise angles. Has anyone tried these? Thanks PS Are there any adapters for the TL2 that allow it to use other lens mounts? Edited September 20, 2023 by tripc0de Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Chef Posted September 20, 2023 Share #2  Posted September 20, 2023 I use a TL 11-23 and consider it to be my best lens for wide angle. It’s usually perched on my CL. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommonego@gmail.com Posted September 21, 2023 Share #19  Posted September 21, 2023 The 11-23 is a great lens, I picked mine up second hand at the Leica store in LA. One of the best wide angles I have ever used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes I reckon the 11-23 is likely to be the best so will keep an eye on second hand prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
