    Is anyone experiencing problems with Leica's turnaround time and support?

    I have had numerous problems with Leica taking 3 – 4 months to either replace defective bodies or repair them. All together my cameras have probably spent a year at Leica. How is this possible for such an expensive system.

      They are the same. Leica changed the name of the mount when the T (Typ 701) was renamed the TL. Then came the SL, then the CL. They all have the L mount. T mount was confusing. The original Leica M Adapter-T is functionally the same as the current Leica M Adapter-L.

    Just got a roll of film through a new Leica a-la-carte MP body with the 0.58 finder. Its a great rangefinder view for the 28mm and 35mm. This goes great with the 0.85 finder a-la-carte for the 50-90mm range. As much fun that digital work is, I still find black and white film rewarding…
