Panasonic L1 - Best Camera for B+W?

[@ThorstenGolder]

The L1 is actually based on the Olympus E-330, sensor wise and also the whole mirror setup incl. the 1st live view implementation. The sensor, although not being a CCD anymore creates fantastic colours. I took so many nice photos back then using it.

[@kriXoff75]

I will always remember how beautiful b&w and beautiful grain was on a GF1.

[@mauriceschoenen]

Here in Europe they cost practically nothing. I paid like 30€ for it.

[@alex-reay]

Yep 👍🏻

[@CamBrowne]

I bought myself an Olympus E-P3 because of this channel. Haven't had this much excitement to shoot photos in years!

[@skfineshriber]

I have used several Canon cameras going back about 15 years, a couple Nikons and several Lumix MFT cameras plus the S5. Panasonic makes my favorite cameras. They’re innovative, intuitive and produce great results. The G9 is my favorite camera of all time. Panasonic is underrated.

[@El_Reddaio]

I just love the mood of this video! The intro music, the bright hair color! And wow that camera is beautiful ❤️

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Thank you so much!!

[@jensarne5773]

Thanks! nice review and lovely B&W jpegs. I had this camera back in 2011. I bought it used at a very good price with the 14-50 / 2,8 - 3,5 zoom. I got some good photos from it, especially I remembered some beautiful color jpegs. I did not use the zoom so much but my Olympus Zuiko 135mm f2.8 I used a lot. When full frame became affordable I got the Sony a850 and it made my work a lot easier, and I sold the L1. Whis I still had it for the B&Ws.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Love hearing other people's camera journeys. Thanks for sharing.

I have the previous version (DMC-LC1) and the b&w is really really awesome. I shoot it almost exclusively in b&w. The fixed lens is an absolute jewel, soo sharp. Definitely one of the best early digicams imo. I would like to try this version eventually.

[@agust2624]

Do leica digilux 2 have b&w mode?

@agust2624 yes! It has a b&w mode and oddly enough its hidden under the white balance menu.

@@trels203I have both. The L1 has a lo more contrast. I use the L1 for monochrome and the LC1 for colour

[@SoSaMin1]

Love this review 🙂I purchased mine after watching watching a video on the Leica Digilux 3 and realized that I had a preference for the Panasonic DMC L1 over the Digilux 3 and found it (body, lens, manuals, etc in excellent condition for $300 less than most on ebay wanted for the digilux) 🙂

Lovely images from such a relatively old camera. My first leap down the Leica “rabbit hole” was via an equally obscure Pani-Leica, the Panasonic DMC-FX100 which was the size of a pack of cigarettes ! I had so much fun shooting with it because of its size and image quality. I still own it. Thanks for posting. Very interesting back stories as well.

[@VueeyLe]

I agree with everything you said. I had the Leica Digilux 3 and the Black and White profile had to be my absolute favourite. I haven't experienced any modern digital cameras that can produce a similar B&W Shooting Experience as this camera (except the Leica Q2 Monochrome). Sadly, my Digilux 3 shutter ended up failing, so I retired it as a collector piece. I ended up buying a Viewfinder Magnifier for this camera and it made Manual Focus super duper easy.

The colours are special, but good As you said, the B/W Photos are awesome! The (retro)style and look was so different at that time and live view was an incredible feature 😄 A beautiful camera, not getting enough attention, because time is going on too fast and everyone wanted more and more resolution.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Very cool!

[@dokugohikken8769]

Oh, that is one of those cameras of Mr. Kaoru Mokunaka (product manager). The other cameras of which Mokunaka was the product manager were Lumix LC1, Leica X1, and Leica Q. All of them are beautiful cameras. Ah, yes, after LC1, Mokunaka quit Panasonic and joined Leica. (People rumor that something not so nice must have happened between Panasonic and Mokunaka, back then.) He was working in Germany when he was a part of the developments of X1 and Q. Then he went back to Japan and now is the liaison of Leica for the L2 Technology thingy. Obviously, the relations between Panasonic and Mokunaka, if they were not so good for some years in the past, must have been restored. While it does not look beautiful, there is another camera called Lumix L10. The good news is that you can get batteries new for L10, doing so is not that easy for LC1 nor L1. The thing is though, you must adjust the contrast and color saturation settings lower when you use L10 otherwise you cannot get the same image quality with L1. Yeah, it is similar to the situation of E-1 (flag ship) and E-300 (entry).

Rad! I need to take notes, your videos are so good. Perfect mix of “real life conversation” kind of delivery but with plenty of sample photos and you hit all the specs without sounding like you’re reading off a sheet.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Ha thank you but you undersell yourself. I love your reviews! You totally inspired my Canon 5D pick up.

[@howardlevy2488]

Great review. I've been following your channel for a while and knew that you had an L1, but thought you sold it a couple of spring cleanings ago. I've taken some of my favorite photos using it, which I bought new with its 14-50mm vario-elmarit kit lens in December of 2007 for $799. Its flash is not only ingenious, it also works surprisingly well. The 14-50mm lens can be adapted to many u4/3's cameras including the em1.1, but is not compatible with the em1 II, em1 III, em1x, om-1, etc. The L1 is easy to operate for someone familiar with film cameras or traditional controls, but is no joy to use for someone who needs reading glasses, as I do. I've been spoiled by EVFs, especially the one on the OM-1. My L1 needs to find a new home.

[@NPJensen]

I have the Leica Digilux 3 - basically the same camera with a different name (except for the firmware), and I love it as well. I'm partial to prime lenses, and my Digilux 3 came with the 14-50mm f2.8-3.5 Vario-Elmarit zoom lens, which with other lenses/cameras would be an issue for me, but it is so good I don't mind, that it's a zoom lens at all. My biggest problem is what to do when my Digilux 3 bricks, as I'm convinced it will some day in the hopefully distant future. The Panasonic GX7/8/9 is the closest I have come to an MFT version of the L1, but it isn't really that close.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Oh man I think about that fate all the time with these old cameras. I say use them until they take their last breath and enjoy every moment. There will always be another camera after. :P

[@NPJensen]

[@c0smoKram3r]

This is not a correction but an interesting tidbit...the first camera to have live view was the Olympus E330 which is the follow up to the E300. It's mostly the same body but with some tweaks to make it look more 'normal' than the E300 and of course...the change from CCD to LiveMOS and probably the same sensor set up you talk about for this cam! I bought the E330 because of your E300 videos because I wasn't able to find one :)

[@noudsmeets]

The first 3 digital Leica's were made by Fujifilm. Leica’s first collaboration with Panasonic was the Digilux 1, launched in 2002 . It was a 4MP model with a 7-21mm f/2-2.5 Vario Summicron lens. The 2nd one was the Leica Digilux 2 (Panasonic Digiux LC1) with a 28-90mm lens f 2.0 -f 2.4. "The Rise of Barack Obama" images by Pete Souza, were shot with Leica Digilux 2 (and Nikon D2x). The Panasonic L1 (Leica Digilux3 ) is the third camera from the Leica-Panasonic collaboration. After that they made the Digilux 4 (Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3) but the Leica is a lot different (like different coating, different viewfinder and different filehandeling.) Love the Hair!

[@GeraintDafis]

I always assumed live Mos was a marketing term for CMOS sensors. I looked it up just now, and they are an nmos gate sensor. Long story short, it seems they draw more current and have a higher noise baseline than cmos, but we're easier to manufacture and had faster readouts in the earlier days of CMOS sensors. But yeah, I can see how they might lend to more subjectively pleasing b+w photos :) Every day a school day.

[@frstesiste7670]

I got to use the Olympus E-330 which is basically the same camera with a few extra features and different body design. It (naturally) didn't come with the Panasonic 14-150 zoom though which I really wanted to try. It would of course fit the E-330 but was fairly expensive to buy by itself. Live MOS is just something Panasonic name most of their FT-sensors regardless of technology or who actually made it.

[@jorgebarrantes1386]

Hve you tried the monotone filters in your Oly E-400? how do they compare to the L1? LIke the camera but I've read that AF is erratic (especially in low light) with the pro and SWD Olympus four third lenses

The E-330 has an additional small sensor that provides a mirror closed live viewing method on the LCD, much like a compact camera - Mode A. Mode B is like the Panny, mirror locked out of the way. Very clever option and useful in its day. Sadly the E-330 got savaged in reviews because of its brick like E-300 looks and small viewfinder.
