No, the Leicas are not "identical" to their Panasonic counterparts but just look up the optical designs for the Leica SL and Lumix S 50mm: 9 elements, 8 groups, 3 aspherical elements, 1 ED element, and (iirc) 1 UHED element. In any event, too unique of an optical design to be coincidental. It's not like they're six element, four group standard Planar designs like the 50's were across many lens manufacturers from years ago. The Leica has a metal lens barrel and doesn't have a AF/M focus switch. Seems to me, that's about it. I own the Panny. Love it. Fantastic 50.

I sold mine. I found it too heavy and the focus throw is really long. Took forever to focus. However, it saddens me knowing that it is gone after looking at photos taken from it.

Many of 500 Dual Range lenses suffer unrepairable haze on elements, caused by lubricants Leitz Leica used! Check carefully!The RF is old and Balsam glue extremely fragile. I use a 67 model and accept the risk,,

What's sad is that using this camera to take pictures would be considered damaging it. Praising a camera because it looks like it only had 2 rolls of film run through it in 60+ years is also pretty sad.

The main reasons I want the M-A is because it doesn’t have a light meter and because it it’s rewind knob isn’t slanted. I hate that look so damn much. It’s like the same thing when Chris Reeves Knives put their pocket clip at an angle on their Sebenzas. Absolutely hate slanted features on a straight design.

No filmmaker ever uses autofocus in Cinema. Use focus peaking and manual lenses. Simple.
@aesthetics555Ай бұрын
So it is very simple, if it is lighter to carry and less expensive, you fix that small gap by editing slightly wich you do anyway and goodbye...the decision is simple thank you for the review very good

Hi, I have also a M3 from 1960. I also make photos with the same Summicron lense. I love the camera. I have the original Benser-case. This case was built for the Leica M3 from the Benser-Co. Greetings from Germany!

Who's the clown who started calling these things Barnack Leicas? The only "Barnack" Leicas were the UR 0 and arguably the 1. After that they are all LTMs until the iiig.

I don’t own a Leica & don’t even do model, portraits or street photography up to this point but looking at Marks work & if was able to produce something close to it, the f1 would be my choice since you asked. Enjoyed your vid. Thanks for putting it up.

I don’t know but I think the v2 also renders a bit different. Much more to my liking. And I am not talking about bokeh only.

when you hold the old one next to the new one, you can see a different reflection color, so the coating seems different. i was lucky to grab one of the 200 pieces, and still didnt dare to open up the box
