Hi I guess I will stay with my old 90mm F2.0 Summicron and save my money.

Hi Matt - just about to pull the trigger on an LLL Elcan... it lists a whole bunch of M cameras but not the M4 I assume that there isn't any issue putting one on an M4-2?

How does the Leica SL compare to Leica M when using Leica M lenses? Is the performance change in colors and corners noticeable?

Matt, thanks for sharing so much CL goodness. To this adapter not allowing digital zoom anymore sounds like a software limitation on the Leica side, shame really. Has it by any chance been fixed in firmware? Also I feel a bit bad for calling your audio crunchy the other day, I have watched (a great deal) more of you videos and have to compliment you instead. Your content is really good: informative and presented with the great enthusiasm you obviously have for this subject.

Matt, I've been using the Fujifilm camera (X-T4 and X-H2) with the intent to purchase a Leica camera. I also shoot with a Nikon F3 on film from time to time. I am leaning toward purchasing the M11 rather than the Q3, which would give me a different experience and expand the shooting style. The Q3 is cheaper, but I think it does not quite offer the true Leica experience,, but more of a point-and-shoot with a Leica logo on it. I hope I am making a good decision.

I am still using it in 2024 and like it so much

I just got an Easy35 last week. I'm using it with my D7000 and getting pretty good results. I need someone to drop that 60 in my lap so I can try my M10. 😉

I have an R3 and a Leicaflex SL2 and the difference as with the SL is night and day- that said I tend to shoot more with the R3 and M4 than with the SL2 because it’s such a beast to carry around. The R3 also has a very nice sounding shutter and all the controls feel well made.

The 1.4 & 1.5 look big and heavy to me on an M camera. Will stay with the Ultron II for it's size and weight and wonderful rendering... Great work Matt as always.. Thanks

Warning ! Leica don't sell a Red filter, because a lens with a Red filter won't focus correctly when using the rangefinder. My first decent day out with a new (to me) 28 'Cron in good light produced really pourly focused images. Went back to Leica Mayfair, who checked the lens (which was said to be ok), and the end result was a slapped wrist for using a red filter. Now using the Leica Orange filter, which seems much better.

Soervus Matt👌👌 Thank you for your presentation✌✌Video as always brilliant, what would interest me or can you make a video about what settings you use when you are not doing a model shoot, also for Patreon, would be very cool. Nice video you have produced again. Sorry if I ask but last time your skin was quite red as if you had a rash, which is absolutely not meant badly, I just noticed. Lg Anderl

Great teaching video RS. Canada

I have a Cambo (marketed also as Calumet) 6x12 back and finally figured out how to use it only to discover that it puts a scratch down the middle of the negative. (I can't figure out why.) But I love that you can slip it in like any ordinary film holder without having to take the viewing glass off. I also have a Wista 6x7 back. The main thing with it that I dislike is having to take the viewing glass off and then put it back on, which can jiggle or throw focus off or, worse, accidentally break the glass. The main reason I use the back is for color since 8 images is 1/8th the cost of expensive color 4 x 5 film. On B&W I shoot 4 x 5 film and just crop if I seek the pano look. Great videos! (Do a video on how to get models and what they cost if they are not friends).

If you watching this and don't have the money for Leica just get a mirrorless like the Lumix S5II with maybe a 35mm 1.8 S lens for example and get the DXO FilmPack that has many film looks from color films like Velvia,Portra etc to b&w films like Kodak Tri-X 400 or T-max etc and all filters from yellow to red to green orange blue etc and you are set!

yes so true I have on my shelf - "fed with elmar" and "zorki with summar"

I miss poloroid Type 55

I bought this and it works first time so thanks Matt I have 6 bit coded my elmarit 90mm my Zeiss sonnar and soon my VL 35mm 1.2 . Fantastic little product

i traveled to Philippines last April with my Nikon F2 and used red filter.

The Pentax DSLR Monochrome Camera could be an interesting comparison; through its APSC format rather than Full Frame.

Just add a fly swat Matt.

From dickheads who don't print 😂😂😂😂

I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday

M10

I am all in for using a color sensor Camera for Black & White Photography ! You can do the "filter" work in post and you can even combine "filters". With a black & white sensor camera you always need filters on you camera, did you remember to bring filters !? Did you by accident use the wrong filter !? ... !!! If black & white sensor cameras were fx half the price of color sensor Cameras, then it could make some kind of sense. For me film Photography ended many years ago, I am happy that I do not need to use polluting chemicals and digital photography is much more fun !

You overwrite the M11 cameraprofile with your MrLeica LR Present?

Need the M11M in order to feel that pain

That looks like a Light Lens Lab 35mm f2 (8-element remade) right there!

I have both the M10M and the M11M and love them both. I bought a shedload of filters in Paris (39, 43, 46, 55, 60mm). Fun.

If one can’t tell the difference between the two, then stick with RGB sensor. Anyone can sell themselves on anything, but you’ll never sell me on RGB and monochrome files being the same. I work with both, they are not the same and it’s not even close.

Has anyone collated an exhaustive list of all the cameras with LTM mounts Matt?

My Wide Rollei , I use color filters for B_W photos , and after I pay off the SL - 3 , then I might go for a M11 monochrome , however I do love the methodology of shooting film as I concentrate , and fall into a " ZEN " that shooting digital just misses.

Methinks Matty should try the Pentax K3 Mono as well, with some Pentax limited primes. Give it a fair run to get accustomed to “the Pentax way” of shooting.. and see how it works out.

I learned a lot from this video, thanks Matt!

Hey Matt, for adapting Nikkor to M directly, is there anything to be aware of with a rangefinder body? Like will using an adapter somehow affect / break the mechanism that sets the rangefinder lines in the viewfinder automatically? I’ve never adapted anything to my M11 and I’m terrified of breaking something due to using a cheap adapter lol. If you’ve a recommendation that’d be grand :-)

I don't think a monochrome camera makes much sense anymore. There is only one difference between a monochrome and a color camera: the absence of the color filter array. With the color array filter gone, the monochrome camera has a much higher resolution at the same megapixel count, at the cost of losing color channel information and only having the luminescence value per pixel. Given the M11 has 60MP, the color filter array on the M11 provides more value to the black and white photographer than drawbacks because with some much resolution on the sensor to begin with, the resolution penalty of the color filter array is not an issue anymore! From thereon, working with color M11 files in black and white, you can use the color channels to make these color filter changes in post. Didn't like the red filter you stuck on the lens on you M11 Monochrome? Tough luck. It's BACKED into the file. No going back. On the M11, you can make all the changes you want after the fact.

Hi thank you, but I don't the fund$ for a M10 or M11 but if did I would go with M11 DMG any day of the week, I am happy for you.

Love my WotanCraft straps on my M cameras.

I don’t think you’re doing the Monochrom cameras justice. Some of my favorite features are the fact that you can crop enormously without loosing resolution and shooting indoors without a flash still give you massive depth of intensity.

Crazy you can buy a used Honda for a price of 1 Lecia. I can never justify the price of Leica even how bad I want one.

It’s the FA.

Well reasoned on the RGB camera vs the mono camera. And some RGB's will shoot mono by menu selection and my Pixii will shoot native RAW mono, too. The M240 shoots mono and offers built-in color filters, red, orange, yellow, blue and green. Neat trick. Have you ever used built-in filters for mono? I am using the M240 more and like it more. More muted color than the M9, less Kodak, more Agfa and I prefer Agfa. Anyway, back to your vid, another great one. All your opinions were spot on. Cheers.

I like your pre-set for the M10. For me, I am holding onto my M10-M Wetzlar edition and I have no plans to upgrade to the M11-M anytime soon.

Going to a place like Cinque Terre and shooting in B&W is kinda dull. And stick to M10. All the shots done with that looked way better. Spending 8K on a monochrome camera seems a bit silly. M10 more versatile.

I shoot monochrome, Tri-X and HP5

Enjoyed your video! I added the MM 246 last year since I wanted to avoid film for traveling but not compromising in B&W shooting. I never looked back - it is actually a nice addition to my M-E 240 camera, uses the same battery and VF-2. I love that the monochrome files come as DNG Raw files - easier to post process! Big benefit less often talked about: with a R72 filter the monochrome camera is actually taking great infrared photos - no need to carry an additional IR-converted camera! Personally not a big fan of the M11 series - it’s a gamble to get a good copy.

I often much preferred glass filter over plastic filter, but since I keep a set of Tiffen square ND in my LF bag, I went ahead and order a yellow and red Cokin P series filter two weeks ago. I haven't used those thing since the 90's, while I am sure they are not as good as optical glass, I do hope that they are better than those cheap chinese plastic filter.

I have an orange filter for my Q2 Monochrom and find it really useful. Great video! Thank you.

luv how the vid guy just keeps making sure her crotch is in view!!!
