if you've been lusting after a licker but you've been intimidated by both the price and the type of calorie you want then maybe this model is the one for you this is a first look at the lack of tea I'm Alexis Avedis for CNET like a whole bunch of other Locker models that have come before it this one has premium quality as the name of the game its hewn from 1.2 kilograms of pure aluminium and it takes another 45 minutes to polish this by hand resulting in a really nice smooth finish and it's a unibody design so basically the only parts that are added on to it are the pop-up flash and the two control dials at the top as well as a 3.7 inch touch screen at the back and a little flap here for inserting your memory cards inside the Leica T it is a brand new mirrorless interchangeable-lens system including a brand new lens mount which is a team out if you have old Leica M lenses you can also get an adapter and this will also let you use them easily also on the outside as I mentioned it's very simple there's no real other physical buttons apart from your shutter button your power button these two control dials and a simple video recording button apart from the controls on the top of the camera all of your interactions with the Leica T happens through the touch screen fortunately it's super responsive and really easy to use first up at the top here on the right we have a selection of your modes including program full manual and aperture and shutter priority you also have a couple of scene modes to choose from as well if you just like to keep it on automatic going back just hit the back button which as you saw is nice and simple the rest of your controls are found within this camera icon here so this includes things like you're shooting resolution your exposure compensation white balance Y fire control and Heat small if you don't like the way this menus been set up though you can do it totally customized to your liking you just need to get a screwdriver and wrench icon up here press and hold and drag over here and you'll find that it shows up on the main menu now that one that was already there but we'll add another one wasn't there such as scroll down video resolution press and hold drag over here back go back into the menu we'll find that video resolutions being placed right here same thing for removing if you want to get rid of things say like your AF mode hit and drag and it's all gone so nice and simple to use really easy to customize as well the screen itself super bright super easy to use as I mentioned and if you want to go into playback mode that one is quite hard to find because there is no actual physical playback button I'll give you a hint you just simply drag from the top and it goes into the latest photo and you can just interact with the camera just like any other smartphone tablet device that you used to scrolling back and forth if you want to zoom in simple just pinch to zoom and move around like so the lens is an 18 256 millimeter lens it's not particularly fast it's F 3.5 25.6 so it's pretty much a standard kaitland and it pretty much costs the same as to like a t body itself a little part of me dies inside knowing that I'm paying the same amount for kit lens as the body but it is like and there is obviously no compromise when it comes to image quality and that comes through in a lot of the test shots that I've been taking image is a super sharp it is beautiful beautiful bouquet so that out-of-focus characteristic is absolutely gorgeous colors are vibrant as well the other thing I wanted to talk to you quickly about on the lack of tea is there is a little electronic viewfinder this is an optional extra attachment but it's nice and bright and obviously if you're using it in outdoor situations this is the Jing you're going to want to invest in plus it gives you gps control as well and finally on the side the lacquer locking system is pretty ingenious I have to say rather than having to fiddle around with threading those camera straps all you need to do is just click and unlock the strap and it doesn't fall out this has been a first look at the like a tee stay tuned to seen it very soon for a full review
