Leica T Firmware Update 1.4

Leica have announced a new firmware update for the Leica T Camera. Users can now download the new version 1.4 from Leica’s website here or the update can be carried out as a complementary service at Leica Customer Care and Leica Stores.

Lens Expansion for the Leica T

The firmware update also expands the portfolio of Leica lenses which can also be used on the Leica T. The camera shares the same L bayonet mount with the new Leica SL Camera – updating the firmware allows SL lenses to be used on the T body.

New TL Lenses

Leica have just launched a new lens for the Leica T and SL Cameras. Lenses which can be used on both systems (as well as the SL lenses) will be designed as ‘TL’ lenses. The new Leica Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens is scheduled for availability in Spring 2016, you can pre-order the lens here, available in both anodized black and silver. This will be joined by the Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-TL 60mm f/2.8 ASPH Lens, which will be available Autumn next year.

Please note: Do not attach a Leica SL Lens to a Leica T Camera without first installing firmware 1.4 or later on Leica T. Using a firmware prior than 1/4 will cause severe damage to the SL Lens.
