Differences between Leica T and TL2
Written by Steven Posted in Blogs.
Leica’s T series cameras have polarised opinions regarding camera design and interface since the original T was released in 2014 and it is the vocalisation of these opinions that help to keep the camera series in the limelight, forging love/hate relationships from users and non-users alike. There is little doubt that Leica took a very bold step when developing the system as even today, there is little else out there that looks quite like it. I must admit that when I first laid eyes on the original T, I was unimpressed – it seemed a step too far, and the innovative touch screen interface was the exact opposite to what I was used to seeing in a camera.
Leica Summicron L 75mm f2 Lens

Towards the end of last year, Ethan and myself attended an in-store day held at the Leica Camera Store, Manchester. The purpose of the visit was to get our hands on the newly announced Leica SL2 and see how it compared to the original SL. I have always been fond of the SL after trying one out at 2016’s camera show in Birmingham. However it was the T system that I brought into, comfortable with the fact that it shared the L mount with the SL. While slowly building my T system I kept an eye on the gradual evolution of the L system.
Derwent Edge

On a particularly stormy and turbulent February 1st, Ethan and I decided to go on a photoshoot along Derwent Edge. I must admit, sitting in the pub the night before, it seemed like a marvellous idea, even though the entire area fills me with a deep sense of gloom. I have written before of my dislike of this part of the Dark Peak. Egregiously mournful, but photographically cathartic, I knew if I could get past the feeling of despair I get at the mere suggestion of walking here, I would be rewarded with some interesting landscape opportunities.
