Hi Peter, I took a look at the Leica homepage and found cameras with black and white sensors. Have you tested them? What do you think of these cameras?
I don’t like B&W digital cameras, everyone’s digital B&W’s look the same, I prefer colour, so I can make my black-and-white the way I like it now, and I have much more adjustments with the tonality’s. I’ve also gone back to shooting with colour film and converting to black-and-white later. Bec gives me so much more range of the tonality’s.
hi Steffen, I own the M10M and really like it, It’s great in low light and terrible color situations like concerts. Peter is right that you have more control with a color sensor portraits in controlled situations.
Hy Peter just for my courosity , is there a chance that we will see a Video of a shoot with the Analog Leica ? what specialy interrest me is the Question, do you Meter each shoot with a light meter or is that feeling type of thing ?
Sorry for my bad english not a native speaker
Yes we have a couple of film videos coming soon
Hey peter
I was lucky that Hasselblad repaired my H6D-50. I showed you the problem in Amsterdam.
I had a long email conversation with HB Sweden, because I was pretty pissed about the fact that I had to sent my H6D 2 times before to them. (other problems).
So this was the third time. And after 10 weeks I got it back. I didn’t have to pay for it. Now it seems that the camera is working good again.
So happy to hear this Paul, enjoy shooting with it again
Hey Peter
This year I also started with Leica. I have a Leica SL2 with the Summicron-SL 50mm f2. 0 (that was part of the offer)
Now I want to buy a new Leica lens.
I’m considering
– leica apo-summicron-M 90mm f/2.0 (with adapter)
– Leica APO-SUMMICRON-SL 90mm f/2 ASPH
Members of the Leica group (on FB) say that the SL is much sharper as the M-version.
So I’m in doubt what to buy. I know the SL has autofocus and the M don’t have AF.
What are your thoughts about this 2 lenses?
The number one difference is the SL has auto focus and M has manual only. Me personally, would buy the M off eBay and then buy the SL 24-90mm and that will give you the best of both worlds, just my two cents
Hey peter
I tweaked your advice a bit, because I got a chance to buy a 75mm M summilux f1.4 . So today I bought this lens
And in the very near future I’m gonna buy the 24-90 SL
Awesome, enjoy
Hi Peter,
Do you put any clear filters on your lenses to protect the glass?
no never they do more damage to the lens if dropped, and I don’t like putting cheap glass in front of expensive glass
Thanks Peter,
On the Leica SL2-S do you adjust the image size inside camera to mimic the Hasselblad or do you crop later in Lightroom?
Hi Peter,
I know you are a fan of the 50mm Noctilux.
What do you think about the 75mm 1.25
and 90mm 1.5? Do you think they are overkill?
I noticed in your video you have the 75mm 1.4 and 90mm 2.0
Would you ever consider going the Noctilux way for those two?
Does it make any noticeable difference in the image to be worth the extra money?
Personally I hardly use the 50mm Noctilux, I use the Summilux-M 1:1.4/50 ASPH more and I just got the Summicron M 1:2/75mm ASPH and love it, my new fav lens
