Review on Leica TL Mirrorless Camera Silver by Clay Elmer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Demanding and complex. No pleasure to use.

As a camera with a smaller touch frame, it seems inferior in every way. While the menu system is customizable, it was still incredibly 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.

Pros
  • EASY TO USE - HDMI allows connection to external displays; USB 3.0 enables high-speed transmission of even large DNG data; With a simple connection to the Leica FOTOS app, you can instantly transfer images from your camera to your smartphone.
Cons
  • It's OK
