Review

Leica TL2 is a mirrorless camera equipped with Leica’s APS-C size sensor.
The basic performance remains the same, just by increasing the pixels from the 16 million pixels of the Leica T and Leica TL to 24 million pixels.
Other differences include the removal of the built-in flash, which had little use, a change in the design of the shutter button, and a slightly brighter silver color.

I read an article saying that the performance of autofocus (18mm, 27mmAF) has been improved, so I tried using the Apo Macro Elmarit (Elmarit) TL 60mm, which has the most difficult AF, with the Leica TL2, and my impression was that it was great. I didn’t feel any difference. Focusing speed may not be faster due to a problem with the motor drive speed on the lens side, but the focusing accuracy, which depends on the performance of the AF sensor side, also went out of focus when it went out of focus, so there was no difference.
The 24-megapixel sensor can barely be used up to ISO6400. ISO1600 was pretty tough on the T/TL’s 16-megapixel sensor, but I feel that ISO6400 is about the same.

Personally, I bought the TL2 at a special price after the release of the LEICA CL, so I wasn’t too concerned about it, but the closeness of the release dates of the TL2 and CL makes me question the product strategy. Although it can’t be helped that the releases are haphazard as usual with LEICA, I feel like I’d be pretty disappointed if the CL was released right after I bought the TL2.
The final firmware is 1.5 and has been changed to support “Leica FOTOS”.
