Thanks for sharing your impressions...
Very similar input to the various reviews that I have read... not sure that I would list APS-C as a negative... particularly if you are happy with the rendering and output results. If memory serves me correct 16mm is 24mm equivalent while the 60 macro is close to 90mm equivalent (1.5 crop factor...?) so you are in a range that I also prefer. I am 50mm guy, so that would be the 35mm TL lens... not that I am recommending any lenses here ; )
Nice set of sample photos, particularly the partially hidden Patek Philippe... lovely photo with the highlight on the 12... very nice. Also the color and texture of the Giraffe... I can see why you like the TL2.
Keep shooting... and looking forward to more photos over time ; )

Quick review - Leica TL2 with 60mm/f2.8 macro lens.
I know there are many detailed reviews and comparisons of this camera available on the internet. This is just a quick synopsis of my impressions. Let me preface, when I find a brand that I love - be it in timepieces, writing instruments, cars, clothes, ca...
It’s a great camera and a great system.
The dedicated lenses are excellent and you can use SL lenses without an adapter. You’ve made a wonderful choice. Have fun!
Different worlds
Dear Doctor PP, Mont Blanc and Leica are nice,- in hand as well s conceptual. Unfortunately, -neither are presently at the top of their game. Perhaps more so Leica. Don´t get hung up on brands. knowledge=time=exclusivity ,- but in essens,- exclusivity is ...
Dear Jacob.
Life is too short to argue about what is better, and what is not. Enjoy what you have. Do what you love. Be generous and kind. And live life to the fullest. 🍻

Very useful review
And I like your photos, especially the pen and the watch. Congratulations. As you know I am currently in the search for a new kit for macro photography and I have been looking at the very system you have. The color ambiance on the out of focus areas in yo...
I have decided to try..
.. a second-hand APO-ELMARIT-R 2.8/100mm lens. I will play a bit with the lens on my current gear and if I feel comfortable I will make my final decision about which system to go to, if any. For the moment I am very drawn to the SL camera, which has the c...
Yours are already sensational..
But there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve, I suppose.. Best. Benjamin
So, I took the picture of my Leica with my iPhone X in portrait mode.
The macros were taken with my Leica TL2 and 60mm macro lens. Prior to that I was using a Leica D-lux 6. If I can do it, surely you will have no issues. Your watch pics are spectacular. The TL2 has a more iPhone interface quality than a traditional camera....
Good hunting!
I think you will find the form factor, versatility, adaptability, picture quality, and overall camera control of the TL2 much better than the D Lux series, although I have not tested the the 7. For me, the combination of iPhone X and TL2 with interchangea...
