There may be a setting for T lenses....????? Cameras are a lot more complicated than a M....... I think before you send the lens back from the supplier, or to Leica, ask the question how it works together, and wait for the response....... Do you know about the http://www.getdpi.com/wp/ group? ..... If you can register there, ask the question.... there are a few SL owners... and a few pre- release testers that hang out there...... You might get an immediate answer...... Or.......What happens if you change sensor format ( 24x36 to APS-C)? >From the instructions.... BASIC PHOTO SETTINGS SWITCHING THE SENSOR FORMAT The Leica SL is a standard 35mm format camera, i.e. its sensor size is approx. 24 x 36mm. You can limit the sensor area used to the APS-C format though, i.e. to approx. 15.7 x 23.6mm. APS-C should be utilized whenever using lenses designed for this format. Setting the function 1. In the menu's IMAGE section, select Sensor Format, and 2. in the submenu, the desired setting. Notes: . Using the smaller format with lenses designed for the 35mm format results in focal lengths that are effectively longer (by approx. 1.2x - the so-called 'crop factor'), and therefore also a reduced angle of view (approx. 66%). . This function can be assigned to the FAVORITES menu. ASPECT RATIO You can select the aspect ratio to be used for photos, i.e. the relationship between the vertical and horizontal sides of the format. Setting the function 1. In the menu's IMAGE section, select Photo Aspect Ratio, and 2. in the submenu, the desired setting. Note: This function can be assigned to the FAVORITES menu.
