COMPATIBLE LENSES

All Leica TL lenses share the same basic external structure: They

have an external bayonet ﬁ tting for the lens hood, an internal

thread for ﬁ lters, a focus setting ring, a ﬁ xed ring with a red

alignment button for lens changes, and a contact strip for the

transfer of data and control signals. Leica CL Vario lenses have an

additional zoom setting ring with its own alignment point.

In addition to Leica TL lenses, the LeicaCL can also accommodate

Leica SL lenses with full functionality via the L bayonet. Leica M

and R lenses can also be used in conjunction with Leica M/R L

adapters.

EXPOSURE METERING AND EXPOSURE

CONTROL USING VARIO LENSES

Some Leica TL and SL zoom lenses have a variable speed, i.e. the

eﬀ ective aperture opening depends on the conﬁ gured focal length.

Make sure to set the desired focal length before storing the meter

value or changing the shutter speed/aperture combination to

prevent incorrect exposure. Please read the sections on "Exposure"

starting on page 74 for more information. Make sure that the

aperture setting on the ﬂ ash unit matches the camera aperture if

you are using a non-system compatible ﬂ ash unit.

LENS HOODS

Transport

position

LeicaCL lenses are usually supplied with matching lens hoods. The

symmetrical bayonet ﬁ tting can be attached quickly and easily in

operational position, as well as in reverse position for space-saving

storage.

Lens hoods reduce light scatter and reﬂ ection, and protect the

front lens against damage and soiling.

FILTERS

LeicaCL lenses can accommodate screw-on ﬁ lters. Please read

the technical information provided in the lens manual for the

correct diameter.
