David Farkas wrote a new post, Leica Announces New TL Camera 8 years, 8 months ago

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

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 🙂
David Farkas replied 8 years, 7 months ago

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