The new Leica TL2 continues the already introduced APS-C based TL system. The housing of the Leica TL2 looks quite compact and is made of an aluminum block in the Leica manufactory. PIC1 A newly developed 24 megapixel CMOS image sensor (23.6 x 15.7 mm) is installed, which can also be used for 4K video recordings. The maximum shooting modes are: In 4K 3840x2160p30, in FullHD 1920x1080p60 and in HD 1280x720p120. For this purpose, the mirrorless design allows serial image speeds of up to 20 frames per second. Despite the purist company philosophy, the new Leica TL2 also receives wireless access via Wifi. The Leica TL app, which is available for iOS and Android devices, turns smartphones or tablets into electronic viewers,Such as shutter speed or iris, can be remote-controlled. Whether this works also for a smooth video preview? In any case, this should work with the integrated 3.7 inch touchscreen. In addition to the touch control, there are four haptic controls, which should be ergonomically arranged and intuitive to operate. PIC2 Currently, the Leica TL system comprises a total of six lenses. Three fixed focal lengths (Leica Summicron-TL 1: 2/23 mm ASPH, Summilux-TL 1: 1.4 / 35 mm ASPH and the APO Macro Elmarit TL 1: 2.8 / 60 mm ASPH) Objective (Super Vario-Elmar-TL 1: 3.5 4.5 / 11 23 mm ASPH, Vario-Elmar-TL 1: 3.5 5.6 / 18 56 mm ASPH and APO-Vario-Elmar-TL 1 : 3.5 "4.5" / 55 "" 135 "" ASPH). PIC3 In addition to the TL lenses, the common L-bayonet of the Leica TL- andSL cameras also use the SL lenses without adapters on the Leica TL2. For the use of the Leica M- and R-lenses corresponding adapters are available. The new Leica TL2 is available in black or silver for a suggested retail price of 1,950 euros. Comparing this with other APS-C cameras, which are 4K-able, at first sight, the price does not appear even very high. However, the guide contains a relevant note on the video recording: "Since only a part of the sensor lens is used, the respective effective focal length is increased, ie the cut-outs are correspondingly reduced." In the plain text: It is to be expected that the Leica TL2 in the 4K-Videomusus no oversampling masters but a 1: 1 Sensor-Readout carries out. And thus the read
