Best telephoto lens for the leica tl2?

For a telephoto on the TL2, I'd start with the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS Sports. It frames like 105-300mm on full frame, and its OS stabilisation matters because the TL2 body has none.

If you want a Leica-branded native lens, the Leica APO-Vario-Elmar-TL 55-135mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH is smaller and frames like 82-202mm. It's a good fit for portraits and general telephoto work, though it's slower than the zooms above.

For bright, shallow-focus shots, the Samyang AF 60-180mm f/2.8 frames like 90-270mm and gives you a fast aperture at a shorter reach.

For tips on choosing by subject, see wildlife and sport. You can also check the full list of lenses for this body on the Leica TL2 page.
