Quick review - Leica TL2 with 60mm/f2.8 macro lens.

 
 By: drg : February 22nd, 2019-09:58
I know there are many detailed reviews and comparisons of this camera available on the internet. This is just a quick synopsis of my impressions. Let me preface, when I find a brand that I love - be it in timepieces, writing instruments, cars, clothes, ca...  

It’s a great camera and a great system.

The dedicated lenses are excellent and you can use SL lenses without an adapter. You’ve made a wonderful choice. Have fun!

Different worlds

Very similar input to the various reviews that I have read... not sure that I would list APS-C as a negative... particularly if you are happy with the rendering and output results. If memory serves me correct 16mm is 24mm equivalent while the 60 macro is ... 

Very useful review

And I like your photos, especially the pen and the watch. Congratulations. As you know I am currently in the search for a new kit for macro photography and I have been looking at the very system you have. The color ambiance on the out of focus areas in yo... 

Thank you, Benjamin.

Have you decided? If not, best of luck in finding your gear. 🍻

I have decided to try..

.. a second-hand APO-ELMARIT-R 2.8/100mm lens. I will play a bit with the lens on my current gear and if I feel comfortable I will make my final decision about which system to go to, if any. For the moment I am very drawn to the SL camera, which has the c... 

Awesome. 🍻 [nt]

Yours are already sensational..

But there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve, I suppose.. Best. Benjamin

Agree

Best wishes with your purchase

So, I took the picture of my Leica with my iPhone X in portrait mode.

The macros were taken with my Leica TL2 and 60mm macro lens. Prior to that I was using a Leica D-lux 6. If I can do it, surely you will have no issues. Your watch pics are spectacular. The TL2 has a more iPhone interface quality than a traditional camera.... 

Good hunting!

I think you will find the form factor, versatility, adaptability, picture quality, and overall camera control of the TL2 much better than the D Lux series, although I have not tested the the 7. For me, the combination of iPhone X and TL2 with interchangea...
