  • Today, Leica announced the replacement for the T (Typ 701): the Leica TL.

    The new TL camera, which comes in at a price of $1,695, is almost identical to the original T launched two years ago. Same unibody […]

    • Yeah, S lenses would probably look immense on the TL. The crop factor calculation is the same as any other lens. So, a 35 S lens would behave the same way a 35 TL lens or 35 M lens would on the TL sensor, roughly equating to a 50mm FOV.

    • I was somewhat saddened to learn that I bought the T system a camera that was discountinued which I found out totally by accident from a friend who called me to buy the same camera, since I had touted the camera with so many accolades. I'm so glad that Leica has developed a newer model with the new features on the TL.

      My ultimate plan is to create a book of my incredible summer with my Leica T…now if I can trade up all will be forgiven 🙂

    • That is correct. The TL has a 1.5X crop factor relative to full frame 35mm.

  • A couple of street scenes, one a drawing on the side of an alley next to a door, easy to miss, looks like Val Kilmer (not sure). The actors were working on a commercial of some kind, moving down the street pretty quickly.

    Amazing how noise eats into moderate low-light shots that could probably be done just as well with an iPhone. And this camera's sensor is an APS-C.

  • I had a unique experience with Mahmood of the Charleston Center for Photography, in that he took my photo with a medium format film camera using a Polaroid back, with very old B&W film donated by an industry insider. So I snapped this one. The Leica X2 sensor must be a very old generation, as the noise and image quality at ISO 800 are much worse…[Read more]
