Hi Gaston where did you get the leather pad for the eyelet protection. My D-Lux 8 is on back order list at B&H?

I'm curious about your preference for the 11891 over the version with the close focus. Where would you stand if you were going to get your first Summilux to use on a digital M and SL2-s? Would you still choose the 11891 or go with the close focus? Essentially that's what I am trying to decide for myself, is the close focus worth spending the extra money on, even if it was just for occasional use? Thanks

great lens indeed. My only gripe is that it's not as pretty as the Leicas or some of the vm color skopar lenses.

Bought my first Voigtlander in 2007 and been a fan ever since.

Very happy with mine. Shooting it today on the little digital CL . Super small package .

I noticed that Germans are good at machine engineering but not in software

push the shutter half way down. works always lol i know yea it sux

I have this Lens, it is an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE lens and will NEVER be SOLD! I have even mounted it to MY FUJI XPRO-3 and XT-5 and of course to my M6! Mine is the type 2, nice and hefty.

Great review, thanks you may have just saved me a bunch of cash 😂

Does this thing grip get in the way of way of the delete button as it looks like it does on the video?

The 24-105 oss does adds stabilization to the A7C, which natively doesn't have very good stabilization. Buttt.... 1.Look how big that thing is, people buy the A7C and for it's small body. Pairing that adult sized lens with it ruins the aesthetic! Who wants to walk around hand held like that? Its not really practical. 2. It's better than nothing, handheld stabilization but not as rock steady as you can get it using Catalyst browse or Davinci Resolve.

Great review found one also!😅

I’ve had this lens for around a year and agree 100% with your analysis. Originally I bought it to see if 35mm was my kind of focal length as it was about the same size as the Leica Summicron. 35mm is my kind of focal length but I can’t see any reason to buy any other 35mm lens, especially with its close focus and wide aperture. The only thing the lens is bad at is infrared photography - there is a very pronounced hot spot in the centre of the image at 780nm and above. Less so at 720nm. I wouldnt buy it if IR is a significant piece of your photography.

I recently bought and M6 and picked up this lens to go with it. Love this lens on it and adapted to my Fuji X body.

It would be great to have a similar lens for the X mount.

Really wish I could upgrade to this as my single digital M camera but all the issues that it has keeps me from getting one. I guess I’ll continue sticking with my old regular M10 and M10 Monochrom.

great lens!

Awesome review as always man! I'm currently debating with myself, if I should replace my Nokton 1.4 VII with this one. Does this Nokton 35mm 1.5 has some kind of resistance, if you pass the 0.7m or does the focus ring goes totally smoothly through until 0.5m? Tried the 28mm Ultron which also has close focusing, but misses the resistance at 0.7m, which I find a bit of annoying - nothing dramatic, but would have to train muscle memory to the new circumstances. Doesn't come close, since the Voigtländer has an aparture of 1.5, but would you say it also rivals the 35mm Summicron F2?

The bokeh on this one looks great!!! Very impressive

Using this with nikon zf would be sick

this lens is amazing i have it from long time and shot some of my best memories with it, you just have to don't care about vignetting

I’ve been looking at this lens for so long! Great review! The smoothness of the bokeh was really what sold me compared to the f2 Ultron.

What's your favorite fast 35mm lens?

You don't get that with a Fujifilm 🫣

Its small form factor when used with APS-C lenses is a big plus, on top of all the other reasons you stated here. Solid review 😊

How do I set the “punch in” hack? I want to get as close as the Visoflex will allow. Thank you!

Why a camera with a relativly poor AF should be the KING? I am using Sony a7CR with 1.4 lenses und the AF sits precisely on the pupille, even people are moving. Q3 achieves this only sometimes.

Great review, provided some unique insights for me. Now that the dlux has officially hit the market, I'm curious that with the latest firmware update does it capture that distinctive 'Leica look' ? From what I've seen, sample shots have a rather plain color, not much more impressive than m43 from panasonic. The weak bokeh also seems to dilute the Leica look. I am worried it does not make much difference from other lower-priced counterparts, and I think by using a compact camera most of us may expect its straight out of camera results, especially for Leica(though dng is a good plus).

I’ve had all the D-Lux models and sold them with in minutes of posting an ad. Still friends with the people that bought them. This camera is superb. Yes, I’m a brand snob…..

X100VI have ND Filter & Great Looking 🙂

I bought the Summarit-M 75mm f2.4 and it is superb 👌 I bought it from the store at Leitz Wetzlar. By the way, I also bought a black M-A. The rangefinder had slipped through quality control without being properly set. This I didn't discover until I returned home and processed the film on the other side of the World.😡

Leica should have kept the Summarit 50mm, and taken back some of the market from Cosina products, Voigtlander/ zeiss zm. But they have made some dumb decisions. This is just another one.

Glad I bought the Panasonic GX-9, some time back, and then the Leica 15mm lens. I have a tilt screen, and interchangeable lenses which do not extend -- well most do not. Great compact and well built camera.

Did you upgrade to 2.1.1 firmware yet? Mine didn't have issue since upgrading

As the owner of a Q2 this camera is ugly for starters.

Is the shutter noisy or not ? Thank you for your reply. I'm with the Fuji X100V since 2020.

Happens very very rarely on my Q1. But it freezes when it’s on, not fails to turn on.

Gracias

Hi. I definitely have a question. I've owned the D-Lux 7 for quite some time as my less serious day to day camera. I've been waiting a very long time for an upgrade on the D-Lux 7. No one has mentioned just how much of an improvement the D8 is from the D7. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Drew

Good video. My new D-Lux 8 is waiting for me at my Leica dealer.

I noticed the minimum shutter speed is 1/2000th of a second. Does it have built in neutral density filters?

what part of Miami are you in?

Nice kit. Just picked up my first digital m.. m11. The Instax printer is cool, and fun. Do you print directly from camera over Bluetooth or phone?

What are the macro shots like? Is this camera actually comparable to a Q3 image quality wise ?

I love the old fashion look to a camera. I’m old fashioned 😊 and I never shot in jpeg. For work digital has to be shot in raw for court.

Cool vid. I can see why you like Leica’s😊🇨🇦

good evening at the time of the success Fuji x100v the videos were numerous but for the d lux 7 not much. this is the opposite. we must not miss the mark. see you soon..

11:37 Believe it or not, but there are people who _hate_ Instagram. The Dropbox link in the video description would be nice…

How did you like _Frankfurt am Main_ ? ;-)

You literally sayd a lot of wrong things.. firstable if you open everything is the same thing that if you leave close because this camera doesn't have a dissipation system. Second the image from 640 to 12800 is way noisier than 12800 to 102000. Third this is the proof that this kind of "overheating test" doesn't mean nothing. It may overheat and it may not. It depends from the situations. The only thing that is 100% sure is that the Sony Zve1,a6700, a7c ii,A7 iv and all the other cameras without cooling fan are suffering by overheat because they don't have a system to dissipate the heat. But, if you record in HD you can record unlimited time with every camera. 4k in Sony cameras are something you have but something you have to moderately use
