Review on LEICA Leica TL2 Black Bundle W/Vario-Elmar 18-56Mm (19157) by Brian Weese

As a camera with a smaller sensor frame, it feels smaller in every way. The menu system, while customizable, was still complex. The manual focus sharpness indicator used with Leica M manual focus lenses sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The body was too small when used with large lenses, making control of the entire mechanism, camera and lens cumbersome. Sometimes the options seemed to work and sometimes they didn't. Was it broken or was it as mediocre and confusing as it seemed? I have many other Leica cameras, film and digital, but this one just didn't work. I tried native T-Lens and still not converting. From now on, I'll stick with Leica full-frame cameras, which make up the majority of their development. Is it really Panasonic at heart (Panasonic is the cheaper maker of Leica cameras) that's my experience. Very disappointed. Sale.
