Leica just released a
statement acknowledging a serious issue with the recently released TL2 camera.
In some cases, when using the Visoflex (Typ 020) electronic viewfinder on the
TL2, the camera can be rendered completely inoperable with no way to recover.
At the moment, all sales
of TL2 cameras have been halted until the issue is resolved. Fortunately, Leica
has indicated the cause has been identified and that an upcoming firmware update
can fix the issue. The official statement, from Leica:
We have identified the
cause of the failure when using the TL2 in combination with the electronic
viewfinder (Visoflex). It is very likely that this can be resolved with a
firmware update. In order to avoid any and all risks, the new firmware will be
tested intensively. As soon as the tests have been completed successfully, we
will inform you accordingly.
If you’ve already
purchased a TL2, the camera will work fine as long as you do not use a Visoflex.
If you have experienced the failure and your camera has stopped working, you
can contact your original dealer to arrange for a return/exchange. We will
continue to post updates as we receive them and will also post a link to the
new firmware when it is released.
Don’t hesitate to email us
if you have any questions.
