Leica Summilux-TL 35mm F1.4 ASPH - Pros & Cons

the balance is wonderful
Tonal transitions are creamy and smooth without any donuts or halos
solid and well-built
Nice and smooth
make it easy to shoot compelling lifestyle images
resolution remains high and images are sharp and detailed

they lack features
and are more expensive
a little cumbersome
and a little slow
I cannot quickly re-frame and take another shot
it is impossible to actually focus on anything
brighter out-of-focus highlights were prone to outlining
the above image at 100% magnification showing coloured fringing
No flare artefacts were found in any test shots
lack of stabilisation in either the camera or the lens resulted
the extremely limited two-lens lineup
the lens hood is not
pretty slow and cumbersome
Leica T and lenses are not weather-sealed
images may have mild artifacts due to higher ISOs in use
A bit a purple fringing here
the lens is a bit slow to lock on
is expensive when compared with similar lenses for other mirrorless systems
the autofocus system is fairly slow

The Leica Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. is a fast standard-angle prime for the T mirrorless system, but it's not the company's best lens.

Hands On With the New Leica Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 Lens

Leica T users rejoice! Leica has officially announced a Summilux 50 equivalent for your aluminum wonder that gives you the benefits of autofocus, electronic aperture control, and metadata to go along with the blazing fast glass. I had an absolute pleasure spending some time with the new 'Lux and was able to put to get a good feel for it in the real world. Read on for my findings and sample photos. When the Leica T was announced in 2014, along with it came a brand new system with a new lens mount.
