Tiny and horribly focused shot of a deer or elk or fawn (i'm not a biologist) doing nothing and not even posed in an interesting way.
Most of the photo is branded with the film stock they used instead of caring about the actual photography.
Again, nothing about this stands out as unique to Leica.

This is the only one I kind of like, but this was the last photo in a set that previously was photos of a woman in a bikini. I refused to save and post those shots because I do not care for women or photos of women or women as subjects of photographs.
This shot took more skill than the others because you have to go underwater, but again, any random film camera that can go underwater can take this shot.
The "Leica look" is meaningless.

This is why I just have fun taking pics of things I like. Eye of the beholder, etc. It gets so gay when you add all the pretentious art bs. It's almost like that page is being satirical with these pictures, but they are dead serious.

I don't hate Leicas either. I just think they're another toy to have fun with...

>>4297438
It's almost like the type of person to demonstrate that they have purchased the expensive, luxury version of something are same type to get high off their own farts. Imagine that!

>>4297439

>>4297438
OP is an insecure poorfag roasting a bunch of other people’s photos without having the guts to post their own - probably because they are a trash photog anyway. I see the same shit talking about Leica shooters from poors all the time. Let me tell you what it’s really about.

* Manual rangefinders are fast
* Short flange distance means lenses with amazing quality can also be v small
* Leica makes cameras that last forever

Really the first thing I do when I get a new Leica body that has a red logo is remove or cover it, and tons of other Leica shooters do this too

In conclusion op is fake and gay

Looks like you caught a live one OP

>>4297445
>>I do not care for women or photos of women
>>the Leica look is meaningless

I’m starting to suspect this whole thing is just bait, nobody is actually this retarded

>>4297464
>* Manual rangefinders are fast
An SLR with a microprism or split prism is actually faster
>* Short flange distance means lenses with amazing quality can also be v small
Lots of SLR lenses are super sharp and reasonably compact, less than 1/2" longer
>* Leica makes cameras that last forever
Leica cameras are notoriously fiddly and need frequent servicing. Some of their highest priced models had fatal flaws like rusty sensors, failing buttons, and firmware crashes.

>>4297466
It is. He has been posting his somewhat warranted leica hate in atleast two other threads, and was inspired by a certain someone to make this thread. It's kind funny, I guess.

>>4297468
>>An SLR with a microprism or split prism is actually faster
In what world is spinning a 6” diameter focus ring 180 degrees faster than spinning a 4” diameter focus tab 90?
>> Lots of SLR lenses are super sharp and reasonably compact, less than 1/2" longer
That’s what I said, rf lenses are smaller. You forget to mention that besides longer, slr lenses of the same focal length and aperture will also have a larger diameter due to the more aggressive corrections needed for the longer flange distance


>> Leica cameras are notoriously fiddly and need frequent servicing. Some of their highest priced models had fatal flaws like rusty sensors, failing buttons, and firmware crashes.
I’ve got leica bodies from the 1930s all the way to modern day and they all work fine.

>>4297472
>In what world is spinning a 6” diameter focus ring 180 degrees faster than spinning a 4” diameter focus tab 90?
1: I don't have girl fingers
2: SLR focus confirmation is more precise. SLR composition is more precise. Everything is done faster. Just don't have bitch fingers.
>That’s what I said, rf lenses are smaller. You forget to mention that besides longer, slr lenses of the same focal length and aperture will also have a larger diameter due to the more aggressive corrections needed for the longer flange distance
This is basically pure fucking bullshit. Smaller RF lenses are WORSE, the "legendary" ones are the same fucking size as SLR gear because they both use "more aggressive corrections".
>I’ve got leica bodies from the 1930s all the way to modern day and they all work fine.
Now I know it's a larp or disingenuous (you're avoiding the shit models) because leica is plagued with shit models with unrepairable failing light meters, self-tearing shutters, light meters that cant be repaired, rusty sensors, shit firmware, dead buttons, etc.

>>4297472
if you cant spin both rings at the same speed you have a genuine disability. the leica would feel more delicate, but it should actually be slower due to less precision inherent to using a shorter scale. you should be able to turn each ring lock to lock in the same amount of time but stop on a correct focus point faster with less hunting on the SLR.

there's a reason leicas are jewelry and recreational (LARP/fashion) kit and the whole world went to SLRs, and even mirrorless is just based on the concept of the SLR.

>>4297438
I hate it that leica is such a fucking meme. Because I'd love to own a digital rangefinder. But leica prices are just too high. Such a camera isn't worth more than a mid-range SLR mirror less.

It's also the camera that guesstimates aperture, not Lightroom, but is usually off by 0.5 to 1 stop in my experience.

I didn't even know how to focus with a rangefinder when I first got it. I had to watch a YouTube video, lol.

>>4297723
nice for exif, maybe organizing by aperture for lens review / comparison / excel, but i don't really see much purpose for normal shooting
between memory / knowing optical qualities of your lenses, it's pretty easy to figure out what aperture was used for a given shot

>>4297559
Based

read the comparison of ultra fast 50s on Philip reeves blog to see how the noctilux gets mogged by Chinese lenses now.

>>4297757
So the pro strat is getting a leica body and chinese lenses?
Noted. I will return with more research.

>>4297758
pro strat is the modern voigtlander m-mount lenses. theyre so disgustingly good on film. they have excellent contrast, minimal chromatic aberrations, and sharpness corner to corner from the widest aperture. they have excellent construction and are good value for money, especially if you are ok with a used copy.

i've been beating up a rollei 35 rf on hiking/backpacking trips and i have an m4-p that is pleasant to use, but i just don't shoot with it as much because i'd rather keep beating up the rollei on a lot of trips. in the end, theyre both just vehicles for my m-mount lenses of choice, which are the 40mm heliar, 50mm apo lanthar, and 28mm ultron v2. i'm hoping that voigtlander releases a 35mm color skopar v2, they have been refreshing their whole m-mount lineup and a pancake 35mm with updated optics would be great.

>>4297450
>I just think they're another toy to have fun with
This sums all of the matters of muh leica bad.
only i don't like about is leica is expensive compare to the other toys.
maybe it's same as 3m ferrari vs 30k honda but i don't think it's the same.

I think the real subject leica should get shits thrown to is their SL series which is definitely aimed to be professional camera yet they made another toy that feels like professional not professional camera.

btw, when ERF comes? would they ever consider to make electronic range finder even?

>>4297518
You look fucking rich and using your money like tap water, not because you have a leica but because you waste your money on buying 4chan pass

leicafags are precisely the same as every other esoteric prosumerist for every other niche hobby

On /mu/gg, it's filthy third-worlders arguing about who has the perfect Les Paul because if it's not Gibson, the quality must be shit

essentially Leicafags are the epitome of "buying into" a hobby.
of every hobby that you could gearfag for, photography has to be one of the absolute worst, because almost every single camera within a "type bracket" (80's mech SLR, modern SLR, DSLR, RF, etc) functions almost exactly the same. Unless you're packing a Lytro or something, there's absolutely nothing you can do with your Leica RF camera that I can't do with an FE2, other than spend more money on the camera

Unironically decent little snapshitter if you ever get one CLAd. Had one back in high school, nice vintage looking lens , surprised YouTube film faggots haven’t gotten all over it. It even has a wide and a tele as well.

I believe Steinheil Munchen made a couple lenses for them too. They are grossly underrated because they are American

Unironically my favorite rangefinder is pic related
>Solid aluminum build
>Surprisingly nice coated tessar-design lens, probably one of the best domestic lenses on a consumer camera
>Built to be serviced by a trained bonobo with nothing but a flathead screwdriver (read: US Infantrymen)
>rangefinder patch is massive
>oversized controls designed for use with heavy winter gloves
>genuinely tiny, less wide than a Pentax ME but slightly taller
>shutter speeds suck but I'll live
>$30 used
Currently in the process of putting a roll of Fujigold 200 through it. Makes me wonder what other fixed lens rangefinders I should consider. Maybe a Graphic 35 or Lynx 14.

I have one of these, outstanding camera. The Lynx 14 is another good one and has a very good lens on it, so good people are buying them to remove the lens and adapt it to mirrorless.

The Retina III is another good one to come from this era, though technically interchangeable only the front element is removable, like on the Zeiss Contaflex

It doesn't look like AI. It looks perfect. This is called the Leica glow. Leica lenses are some of the finest quality lenses in the world with coma, chromatic aberration, etc reduced to a minimum.
That's why photos taken on Leicas don't look like photos, but rather like something more.

>>4300809
it looks like AI fur anon

>>4300810
I can't tell you why you think that. I'm not a cognitive psychologist. I can only guess that you're just not used to seeing true quality, and that AI, since it looks at millions of photos, ends up averaging out the distortions that inferior lenses cause in their photos.

>>4300809
>It doesn't look like AI. It looks perfect.
Some aggressive colour grade was applied, and it shows (on the background car).

>>4300809
Its aggressively edited and ai enhanced

>le leica glow
Thats actually most M mount lenses being soft as fuck with a persistent sharpness falloff towards the edges giving you bokeh at every aperture. Leica lenses are poorly made compared to canon eos stuff from any year so when they finish shilling Ms “leica glow depth rendered microcontrasting nanocolors” they call canikon sterile and clinical

Not a Leica nerd, but I don't think it's necessarily a consumerist thing desu. Most of the serious Leica users I've met usually only have 1/2 lenses and about as many camera bodies. Idk if many users of cameras from the Big 3 can make the same claim.

How do you measure consumerism? Money spent for value gained, or clutter? I guess it depends on if you care because of the way it impacts peoples lives, or if you care because of how it impacts organizing a minimalist "battlestation" and cramming it all into an "EDC bag".

Here's my (digital) Leica M11 next to my (film) Leica MA.

Leica is literally the only company that will sell you digital or film, in the same body, and you can just swap the lenses between both without issue. All brand new. In box. With warranty.

I don't think anyone disagrees that Leica is expensive... but it's expensive because they're the only company that offers a camera system like this. If FujiFilm or Nikon wanted to come out with a system that lets me swap between film and digital, all in the same body with the same mount, then by all means.

Wammo, poorfag special for less than a summicron

>>4301676
Until relatively recently, Nikon supported film and digital systems simultaneously, and easily could again, but even leica only did a limited run of their film camera for a reason. The market is flooded with 100 years worth of film cameras. Companies have to compete with themselves.

Can I put this on a Canon film camera from 1985?

>>4301669
Love the skopar, been using mine for nearly 12 years, somehow outlasted every other body/lens I've gone through in that time

>>4301678
I really doubt the VC would work. The tamrons are overpriced too, they're just the first thing I saw on ebay and recognized as decently sharp wide open night lenses (also huge)

>>4301676
so can we see some photos you've taken with them?

>>4301678
first party lenses work 100% all the way back to the eos 650

third party? crapshoot.

>>4301678
no, they are EOS/EF mount, which started in 1987
if your canon is 1985, it's fd mount

EVEN BETTER PUT LEICA COLLAPSIBLE SUMMICRON ON NKVD FED MODIFY FOR 28.8MM STANDARD. CAN ALSO FIT IN COAT POCKET FOR EASE OF TRANSPORT AMERICAN AR15 ARMALITE RIFLE.

IF BUY LEICA CAMERA USE LEICA LENS OTHERWISE YOU ARE AMERICAN HIPSTER WHO RELY ON NAME TO BE COOL.

Brought my M10-M along for the first wedding of the season. It's mainly an edc, use it lots for smaller portrait sessions, but always left it at home for weddings (unless I'm uncle bob).
Went way smoother than expected. Only troublesome part was the reception dancing (doing no flash f1.2-f1.7), really dark & tons of movement, made it difficult to reliably focus with the RF patch.

>I bought a $8000 camera to take a photo of a urinal.

>>4301810
Hell yeah dude! Urinals are the thing I take pictures of, and it's the only camera that can capture them so beautifully, that is why I bought it.

>>4301810

>Checks ebay
>two for under 2000

Wait, these things got cheap, shit even I can buy one now, damn. They are almost M3 prices.

>>4301814
Digileicas got cheap after covid, I got my M8 for 1300 dollars

>>4301814
Might be the rusty sensors

>>4301815

Might be worth it to pick up an M9 and an LTM adapter for my Russian glass

>>4301817
I went M8 just to avoid the sensor rot, considering its still an extremely lavish purchase. The 1.33 crop factor rly isnt that big a deal
Just my two cents

>>4301818

That's not too bad, just means all the shitty corners on Russian lenses won't be visible

>>4301818
>1.33
So it turns your Ricoh gr into an x100? Eww.

i swapped mine for a pre-asph summilux but im mostly shooting these at f/8 so the skopar is probably better. smaller, better aperture ring, more dampened focusing ring, better contrast and sun stars

>the sensor rot
you can see the version of the sensor from the debug menu. if you get a good version you are supposedly immune to the sensor issue. i absolutely loved my m9 and sometimes regret upgrading to the m10

>>4301820
No it turns your shitty leica snapshits into locked in pro tier Leica™ snapshots of timeless proportions. :A)

>>4301956
Huh, first time ive heard about that. Granted you gotta actually inspect the camera in person or get real intimate with the seller to make sure that's the case.

>>4301977
>Huh, first time ive heard about that. Granted you gotta actually inspect the camera in person or get real intimate with the seller to make sure that's the case.
yeah you can look it up. if the seller doens't know the cheat code you can guide them through it. sellers of leicas will either know about this, or will follow your directions. or they are retarded.

often the title of the sale will include the ID of the sensor in it. if i remember correctly CCID 8 or above and you are fine. the monochrom will have different IDs but the principal is the same.

you can also get the serial number from them and email leica to ask about its maintenance history, which i also recommend.

>>4301977
>>4301992
the debug menu of the M9 will also show you the shutter count, which is cool. that basically goes away in the m10

>>4301992
On the M9 you want CCID 15. CCID 8 was when they were first replacing the bad sensors with more of the same bad sensors before they had a long term fix in place. CCID 15 is the corrosion-proof sensor.


Re: all the Leica hate please tell me where else I can get a full-frame CCD rangefinder that lets me shoot every M and LTM lens ever made?

Fuji x mount is a crop sensor cmos system you turkey

>>4301977
No you really don’t. Just email Leica customer service with the serial number and they will let you know if they have replaced the sensor with a good one, usually within 12 hours. I asked them about 3 body serials while I was shopping for an m9.

>>4297473
You can’t just say “nuh uh” and be taken seriously, especially when you don’t know what you’re talking about. Longer flange distance means bigger lens. If you want to clear the mirror and use a wide angle lens at the same time you’re looking at an inverted telephoto design which is just big especially if you want fast apo.

Compare m-mount ecosystem to micro 4/3 and the trend continues. Absolutely tiny lenses - partly because of sensor size but a big part is indeed the minuscule flange distance of the m43 spec.

Anyway you people act like Leica users only own Leica rangefinders… the reality is that each camera type fills a role so my Nikon + Canon SLRs get used for some things, my hasselblad medium format SLRs and Japanese 645 rf cameras get used for others, and my Leica rf gets carried daily. Nobody is forcing you to buy and use a Leica, nobody cares about your opinion, nobody even knows you exist we just out here havin fun makin snapshits

>>4304489
who cares faggot nobody buys a camera for the stupid sensor

>>4304504
Sensor (and whatever force processing comes with it)+lens mount is all that matters. Everything else is a fun gimmick.
>I want a low resolution CCD bayer or monochrome rangefinder
>UH BUY 40MP XTRANNY YOU CAN PUT SOME VOIGTLANDERS ON IT

>>4304506
what is so great about CCD?

>>4304516
what is so great about CMOS?

>>4304518
nothing in particular but there are more options for it now as that is what camera makers are making since 2009

>>4304516
Whats so great about xtranny? Nothing. Shit colors. Blurry detail. Noise looks like worms. Only got worse with PDAF. Bad design.
What's so great about a bayer CCD? Super sharp, great colors, especially with big pixels. Global shutter. Noise doesn't look like shit.

>>4297464
could you sound any more defensive?
what's the matter, got called out?

>>4304524
no trolling allowed outside /b/

>>4304544
Facts are trolling? If xtranny didnt lower resolution, wreck colors, and create worms they'd use it on their $8000 professional GFX cameras not just the chinese plastic larp scameras for "prosoomer" hobbyists who are mostly doom spending single men in the same demographic as people that live in trailers but have high end gaming PCs.

0 reason to buy a fuji when it's the same build quality as sony with half the autofocus and 2/3s the image quality. If you think it ever looked like film, it doesn't, a leica CCD looks 10000x more like film. It's so far apart you really need to get a job and shoot at least one roll of film through a camera with a good lens (leica) so you can see the difference.

>>4304548
i own both an m9 and a fuji. the workflow is similar and i can't tell the images apart. why haven't you bought one yet?

>>4304554
Why haven't you?

>>4304558
>nophoto with FDS

How do these arguments even happen?
>I have THE GEAR and its good listen to me!
You can instantly win this argument by posting a photo from "the gear", just one. Otherwise the joy of reflex might just be made up.

Maybe gearfags are just commonly trolled because everyone knows they don't take photos or own cameras

>>4304563
I just like the additional context to the opinion it provides. Posting bad pictures doesn't invalidate the opinion presented, but posting good ones certainly can help add merit. Photos really help me see where the perspective is coming from and try to be more sympathetic.
No photo just makes it feel meaningless.

fetal drug syndrome?

>>4304778
fuji derangement syndrome

>>4304805
Sounds like something a neo nazi made up to portray criticism of their favorite fat racist russo-israeli puppet as insanity, adapted to cameras. If thats where fujislugs get their memes i have no respect for them.

>>4304814
FDS is contagious it seems

>>4304814
Yeah * derangement syndrome originates from situations like this, where sensible criticism of zion don is called "trump derangement syndrome"
>Trump denies climate change, rolls back environmental protections
>So trump is complicit in this extreme weather situation, since he is actively working against efforts to fix it?
>NO CUZ CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT REEL. EARTH IS FLAT. JESUS CONTROLS CLIMATE. U HAS TDS. THANK U KOCH BROTHERS MORE OIL PLS
If "FDS" is derived from "TDS" we can safely assume fujislugs are such retards or hang out with them. Fuji: the official brand of vladimir putin.

>own a fuji x-pro
>buy a leica m9
>travel with two camera bodies, a fuji x-pro and an m9
>same equivalent focal length glued to both
>zone focusing and manual settings and flash, mostly

same workflow, same images. m9 has an extremely satisfying *ker-klunk, whiiiiiir* and i like using it more.

but they're the same.

technically the fuji is a lot better than the leica, but the body isn't made of brass and it doesn't have a bad ass shutter sound.

>>4305217
Fuji is technically worse due to having a smaller sensor and inferior color filter array
https://medium.com/@nevermindhim/x-trans-vs-bayer-fantastic-claims-and-how-to-test-them-475b4f1b7fae
The users believe the soft images with practically destroyed colors are "film like" because expired drug store film scanned by a retard is also soft with practically destroyed colors.

Fujinon lenses are inferior as well. No one is clamoring to adapt them to other mounts, they'd rather just use leica M lenses.

>>4305220
its a sad look when you have to cite a 7 year old article, from a random nobody, that is 100% theoretical and uses 0 actual Fuji images, where the author even concludes
>An AA-filterless Bayer sensor and an X-Trans sensor of the same resolution are fairly evenly matched
in my own made up hypothetical, fuji is better, so there!

Can't tell if bait or fujislug cope
