For me, this app is shameful, both in terms of price and content. That Leica offers or sells a photo app for iPhone that provides a UI similar to modern Leica cameras is a good idea. Selling additional LUT filters similar to those of the SL/Q3 is meh. But pretending to replicate the look of their lenses with a fake, lousy blur is mocking people. It devalues their equipment, especially at an exorbitant subscription price. Leica really disappoints me on this point.

Yes I got it. Oh and I actually have the ApoTelyt 135mm for real. It’s a fun implementation and I finally enjoy using my iPhone 15 for photography. I’ve only ever used in an emergency as I am not a fan of how Apple implement the camera. I really like the app.

I shoot frequently with Leica M, Leica Q, Nikon Z and Fujifilm cameras and lenses. There is no such thing as a distinctive Leica look. But there is distinctive personal style and vision that comes through no matter which camera brand is used.
@cris_photography2 ай бұрын
Yep, very true. There is a distinctive (imo) quality in the bokeh of good Leica lenses, but like I said, the operator makes the look and the photo. Take care!
@ofeykalakar12 ай бұрын
There is when you use a Leica lens on the Z8. Very different than an S or F mount lens. Just a whole different dimensional glow.

So then why do you have so many different camera brands? Should all be the same...

@@adamjlipperTo give a present day analogy, it's like the difference between using a PC, tablet and phone from various brands to get things done. Different tools and feel. But the content comes from the same human. You try to find the ones that suit you best and bring you the greatest satisfaction.

I downloaded it and while it’s fun, somewhat similar to my actual Leica cam/lenses, etc…I won’t be using it and will delete. Not doing the subscription nonsense, there’s not even a purchase option.

There is no point to argue this will replace Leica camera or not … it’s just not the objective!! However this app is poorly written which I don’t know why … I have Xiaomi 14 Ultra which has similar simulations but I did an AB comparison with iPhone 15 Pro Max using this app, there is no way output from this app is comparable in aperture mode. Photo mode does work better but they are basically just color filters or presets. In Japan there is Leica phone which also has similar simulations and it works a lot better in output.

Exactly! I don’t understand the poor results either - makes no sense! (Hence my mention of the Xiaomi 13 pro)

Très amusant. Plaisant de retrouver des éléments Leica. Mais vraiment pas nouveau. Il existe par exemple hipstamatic qui est plus abouti en terme d’interface ludique. J’aime bien l’idée de pouvoir mettre un cadre Leica avec les informations de prise de vue. Ajoute tout de suite une touche photo classe! Pour le bokeh, il ne faut surtout pas zoomer sur l’image. Le détourage est vraiment fait à la truelle! Conclusion: amusant, petit effet de mode sympa. Ne mérite pas du tout un abonnement. Leica reste avant tout une expérience sur le matériel et l’approche photographique.

You press right under the photo (above the posture compensation) you’ll see a little horizontal line. Then you press on « AF » at the right and you’ll be in manual mode 😉
