My first image with the Leica X-U (X-underwater) camera. Shot as JPEG only on dry land – a spontaneous take in a local public park deli. I think the X-U does well at ISO 800. I should have some underwater pics in a couple of weeks. BTW, this camera has no jack for a USB connection.
Leica X-U, f1.8, 1/250 handheld, ISO 800.

Mr. Farkas, I read that the Leica TL 35/1.4 is soon coming out for sale?
In your perfect SL review you took some samples with this lens.
Are you going to do a review about this lens on the Leica T and SL?Thanks Gerjan

Here are some images from last August that have been sitting in my inbox until now. Shot as JPEG only.
This ‘portrait' was spontaneous, which did not take into account changing any settings, so the shutter speed was 1/5 second. In burst mode and braced against the counter, stabilization was adequate.

It would be cool to see a Leica lens on a smartphone, but first some observations:
While the lenses on the Panasonic-related D-Lux and D-Lux 6 are/were top-notch lenses, the Leica lens on the new $700 Panasonic ZS-100 is not so great. The Leica lenses on the Leica C and related Panasonic LF1 were not very good at all. The tiny LF1 was $500 and the Leica version around $800, so their lenses should have been superb, but weren't even very good.
Canon makes a pocket superzoom (SX720) whose lens is superb, from 24 mm equiv. to 960 mm – fantastic!
Apple's iPhone6 lens is incredibly good – limited only by a tiny phone sensor. Clip-on lenses from Olloclip and (soon to be) Zeiss extend the iPhone lens, with excellent quality results.
So, cellphones may benefit from a Leica lens, but only if they are made and implemented extremely well.
