Imagine wadding up a wide rubber bungee cord. Incidentally, the silicon strap was surprisingly comfortable to wear but a royal pain to roll into a ball and stuff into a camera bag. One of the samples I used had standard, ordinary strap lugs in place, so I was able to easily attach an aftermarket wrist strap. A small included tool allows the installation of unique lugs that match the grommets on the included silicon strap. When it leaves the factory, the TL2 is wearing body-matching plugs in the strap lug sockets. The Leica TL2 has what may be the world’s first truly customizable camera strap lug. Noticeable by its absence-there is no built-in flash. The latter option exists only in the presence of the optional Leica Visoflex Electronic Viewfinder. The function button can be programmed to your choice of video On/Off, Review image or video, or switch between the EVF and LCD. The body is drawn from a single piece of alloy and handcrafted in Germany.įrom left to right, the flat top is home to a hot shoe that doubles as the interface for the optional EVF, a pair of control dials, a shutter release button surrounded by a collar-type On/Off switch and a singular function button. The touchscreen TFT LCD is 3.7-inches (diagonal) and lit by 1.3 million pixels, 854 x 480 per color channel.
Measuring 5.3 x 2.7 x 1.3 inches (134 x 69 x 33 mm) and weighing in at a hardy 14-ounces (399 grams) with battery, the Leica TL2 can almost hide behind a 3x5 index card. The contrast between the TL2’s elegantly shaped, lustrous body and all other mirrorless cameras is that severe. Let's take a closer look at the camera in this Leica TL2 review.Ĭonventional mirrorless cameras are sharply jagged, rectangular chunks of plastic and mixed metals compared to the smoothly polished, perfectly contoured cube of aluminum alloy that is the Leica TL2.
But the camera offers advanced, integrated Wi-Fi (with potent smartphone app), UHD 4K and Full HD video, and a variety of other attractions that will doubtlessly be devoured by the latest generation of Leica camera buyers. With the Leica TL2, electronic viewfinder and flash are strictly optional, and external controls are absolutely minimal-two control dials, one function button and the shutter release. It’s the third in the series of Leica T cameras that break from the tradition of dials and buttons that is the Leica hallmark.
The Leica TL2 is a mirrorless camera with an APS-C size 24-megapixel CMOS sensor, 3.7-inch touchscreen LCD, 49-point contrast-detect autofocus system and 32GB of onboard storage.
