COMPATIBLE LENSES
All Leica TL lenses share the same basic structure: they have an
external bayonet fi tting for the lens hood, an internal thread for
fi lters, a focus ring, a fi xed ring with a red alignment button for lens
replacement and a contact strip for the transfer of data and control
signals. Leica CL zoom lenses have an additional focal length set-
ting ring with its own index.
In addition to Leica TL lenses, the LeicaCL 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 a Zoomo lens
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 "Exposure
metering and exposure control" starting on page 45 for more
information on the subject. 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
LeicaCL lenses are supplied with optimized lens hoods. The sym-
metrical bayonet fi tting can be attached quickly and easily in oper-
ational 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
LeicaCL lenses can accommodate screw-on fi lters. Please read
the technical information provided in the instructions of the rele-
vant lens for the correct fi lter diameter.
