              Leica CL vs Leica TL2 - User Opinions

              • jeanelle.goyette

                The main difference that sets these two cameras apart is the design, starting with the body. Whereas the TL2 has a smooth unibody aluminium design, the CL is constructed of multiple parts including top and bottom covers made of milled and anodised aluminium and front and rear magnesium shells.Nov 22, 2017
              • misti.ferry
                over 1 year ago
                A big advantage the new CL has over the TL2 is the inclusion of a built-in 2.36MP electronic viewfinder with EyeRes technology developed especially for the camera. According to Leica, the latency time of the EVF should be below the threshold of perception. It has a very good magnification of 0.74x and a 20mm eyepoint.Nov 22, 2017
