Kai helped me jump and get the Leica M, after the M240 video. I love it, I litterally take it with me everywhere - I spent 7 years saving for one, and Kai's M videos kept me going through the years. When the M was released, I got it, now the M10 released, I dont get the "I want the new tech" feeling that I get with Canon or my computers or phone. BUT INSTEAD, I get the "My Leica is MY Leica" feeling. I have to say, owning a Leica after 7 years of saving on a burger flipper/university student/graduate teacher wage makes the journey worth it. Thanks for the M-ories with the Leica M vids over the years.

Well, it's, like Kai says (a lot), pretty much the size of a M7, but the dials are of course different. Personally I generally liked working with my M8 and M9, but always wanted to have the grip baseplate on. I find the ISO dial of the M10 gimmicky. My biggest gripe with Leica is that it's priced to keep the myth alive. While the glass is excellent and still preferred by me over modern AF glass, the bodies are not - and yet you have to pay outrageous premiums for your glass holder. So, my advice is: buy Leica glass and put it on modern, reasonably priced bodies ;)

People said Fuji is value for money and have more features. I was like "Who cares". People always want more features but usually end up just using centre point AF on their camera!

Leica was at the cliff of bankruptcy before 2010 but was saved by web reviewers and youtubers like Kai Wong. That thing Leica and its partner Panasonic know it well and support it. Leica M series lenses are the only very sharp and small full frame lenses. And the Leica M10 is a full frame digital camera with nearly the same size of the Sony a7 full frame series mirrorless cameras. However nearly all the Sony e-mount full frame lenses for the a7 series are equally big as the dSLR full frame lenses. That gives a huge advantage to Leica M series. The Leica M10 with its lenses is a true small full frame camera. Perfect for daily use, perfect for travels. The manual focus is an issue with all Leica M series lenses. Nevertheless the new Leica M10 has liveview mode and focus peaking which are typical functions of mirrorless cameras. So manual focus is even easier. I don't know if it has focus zoom too. The high price of Leica isn't an issue. The depreciation of Leica lens is minimal.
@wesbern7 жыл бұрын
The "high price of Leica isn't an issue", did you say? Who are you trying to convince? What a preposterous statement. If Leica prices were not an issue, you would see them all over the place. It's an overprice P.O.S. that doesn't come close to the performance of a Sony, Canon or a Nikon.

Weston Bernard I don't have a Leica M series camera. What I know from reviews is that the lenses for the Leica M mount have great characteristics, quality and high price. Also again from reviews the Leica M series camera body is made from solid brass and its digital image sensor is of great quality. If you known a negative review from a Leica M series owner or a professional reviewer, please inform me. I point only the Leica M series camera body made in Germany and Leica M mount camera lenses made in Germany. Most of the other Leica camera models and lenses are made with Panasonic collaboration for lower prize and inevitable lower quality. The issue with Leica M series is something similar with Apple computers and iPhone. I was mocking Apple iPhone and Apple computers until I used both. What is true and a fact for many many years is that a Leica M series camera has very low value depreciation. The top camera of Canon SONY Nikon camera bodies are losing half the price after three to five years. Leica M series cameras don't. The reason may be their high quality or stupid and ignorant buyers who spent 5,000 - 10,000 dollars for an old and inferior camera.

I am a Leica M240 owner and after years of using the camera I would say that they are indeed great cameras, provided you are willing to live with the limitations that the vintage concept will impose on you. Does the M line have the image stabilization that is becoming so common today? Nope. Has the flash system been creatively implemented as per today's standards? Nope. Can you just plug in the range of Leica M lenses and use them with ease? Nope (you need a bloody expensive add-on to use wide-angle lenses if you don't want to constantly use the Live View). If Leica service fast and reliable? Nope. I could go on for a while, but all things said, when it works correctly and you assume the mantle of a roaming Leica photographer or photojournalist, then the camera is sheer pleasure to use. Again, provided you don't have to rely on all the missing capabilities. It's a personal choice based on the kind of photographer you are, or want to be.

Then the veered towards embracing hardware design, intuitive software and a lifestyle. I don't think they were attempting to be as esoteric and exclusive as you might describe Leica. Apple has "back to school deals" while the average Leica reaches almost 10k. But i get the parallel you are trying to draw.

Leica has always been that mystique camera. From film days, anyone from advanced amateur to professional shot or lusted after a Leica. The main selling feature was the craftsmanship. Leica glass was beautiful, and the price reflected this. Today, with only a few companies producing camera sensors, the packaging, i.e. the body becomes less relevant. With a US street price of $6500, they'll sell, but in limited numbers, as mirror-less cameras are filling the role that the Leica M series camera once dominated. You can purchase adapter mounts to use just about any lens on a mirror-less/range finder camera. Now that Hasselblad supposedly has new ownership by DJI, the old stalwart camera companies are dropping from the scene. Hopefully Leica isn't on that path.

sixyears If this a serious question, I seriously encourage you to get the GFX. For your money, you will get the SECOND best sensor in the world, (first one being the full 645 medium format 100 megapixel CMOS sensor, and if you want to get a camera with that one, prepare yourself around 30 thousand dollars), a reasonably fast autofocus performance (the m10 has NO autofocus), a very compact body compared to most medium format cameras, and Fuji film simulations, which are great. You essentially don't have to do any postproduction with most of the photos. With the Leica M, you will get a mediocre full frame sensor (24x36 mm, compared to the 33x44 mm which are the dimensions of the FUJI GFX sensor), no autofocus, no video. Now of course the GFX is bigger, but if you want a camera the size of the Leica m10 get a sony A7rii for half the money. Both the GFX and the Sony beat the M10 in both image quality and usability. And don't listen to people who claim that Leica products have some special ''magic'', or that only Leica lenses have a particular look superior to all other lenses. That's just bullshit. Those people have been brainwashed by the Leica marketing department.

To go through the comments is a pain in the ass. Either most guys here don´t understand the business model, or they don´t understand the pricing, or they get totally upset about the people on this event, or start telling nonsense about Germans. Probably they never held a Leica in their hands or took it outside for some shots. Its a pleasure to work with these cams. Its like a combination of the good ol´days of photography, the new technology and German quality engineering. They way it behaves, sounds, feels... next to the proper and solid way Germans build their stuff ensuring you can literally feel the Cams value, its giving you a lot of emotions. this is the unique selling point, but of course not that you have something many other people can´t afford. I could agree on the status symbol argument but a proper Canon with a good lens and stuff can rise onto the same height of price level of a Leica quickly. Using the one or the other brand is more a statement or personal preference and nothing more i suppose. Of course buying a Leica or not depends on the purpose or the intended application of your gear. I cant remember that I have ever seen many people using Leicas at press conferences or at the soccer field. PS. this is my opinion and I don´t intend to discuss it. But comments are welcome. PPS. I don´t own a Leica. I´m alright with my Canon gear... was expensive enough and is the exact right thing for what I´m using it for. :)

€5000 for the red mark and €1500 for the camera. Great deal :)

It's a camera, you either buy it or you don't. Why do so many of you become so angry and abusive? Years ago I would have swapped my Olympus OM2 for a Leica SLR but I could not afford to do so: but I did not begrudge those who could afford one. Once I changed to Canon autofocus - especially the Canon EOS 5, I felt Leica were off the pace. With respect to the M10, I don't understand why anyone would want to buy a rangefinder camera.

About 30 years ago I talked to a photo journalist who used Leica SLRs for awhile. He said that they were always breaking down. So he went back to his previous brand which was Nikon.

I have no interest in Leica but I really liked your video. I think leaving digitalrev worked out for the best I much prefer your style here. Keep it up and all the best!

Just did a test run with the Leica M10. The battery life kinda sucks. Well It will suck If I had it out the whole day. Also adjusting the highlights down don't work smoothly like the canon raw files. Also wake up time and power on is too slow compared to the Canon 5D II. But I have to say that the results are awesome. Using the 35mm f2 the colors come out Beautifully and real. I am impressed.

I would agree with you wholeheartedly, if I were on drugs or developmentally disabled. The M240 is an exquisite camera.

Fuck me that place looks like everything I hate about photography, Leica is one brand that I would never shoot with. Stick to canon and Fuji, better gear at a fraction of the cost, plus Fuji gives you that 'cool factor' if you really want it!

akimlaszek no, it is not. In fact an xpro2 anihalates this in every way possible. Only deluded cock smokers with more money than sense think otherwise.
@akimlaszek7 жыл бұрын
+Uncaged haha, you are silly. An X-Pro2 is not a proper Leica Substitute. It's not even close. But you will never know. You are too busy prejudging. Spec sheets won't tell you how good a camera really is. But it keeps the consumer happy right?

Love your shameless attitude towards Leica Kai! À chacun son goût. When you spend five years with the bells and whistles of modern digital cameras only to notice you had accidentally pressed the wrong button when it's time to shoot must say it's a joy to use a Leica when you hit the streets. Only Das Wesentliche. The Q has served me well so far. Hope to get the new M10 for a test from the Leica Finland rep soon.
