Voigtlander 50 f1.5 or 1.2 would be just as excellent. Half the price and smaller.

Muy buenas, después de ver varios vídeos tuyos y escuchar tus pensamientos, solo me veo en la obligación de decirte que ese amor que tienes por una Leica solo se verá completo cuando tengas una analogica. Actualmente poseo una M4p y una M2, solo puedo hablar maravillas de ellas. Me sorprende ver que no tengas ninguna analogica y si un par de M8 que a fin de cuentas es la misma aun siendo con colores diferentes. Te invito a que uses una analogica ya que bajo mi humilde opinión hasta que no dispares un carrete no vas a describir el potencial de una Leica. Un abrazo.

Hugo i see you have Elmarit how do you like itt? There is alson cheaoer Voigtländer 28/2 but im tempted on that Elmarit ( but its more expensive)

Good to see you again 🙂

if anybody, then you resemble the spirit of M photography

I was given an old digital camera by Olympus! CCD! Special card from Olympus! It has a feature to mend,delete,correct pixels that are faulty! I;ve use it once! 3 pixels.. Enjoy! Battery might be a problem. I wouldn't buy one, too costly! Colors are lovely.Kodachrome color! Yes sometimes wrong! Enjoy!

Great to see you! The pictures are great. Nice composition and context. On Film is usually more dust than that little line 😂 Take care.

I don´t have dead pixels on my M8 😊Great Camera 👌

Such great color rendition with the M8s! It's very easy to forgive small signs of age. I'm also currently looking for a nice one.

If you send it into Leica they will fix it! Dead pixels usually show at higher iso or when shooting at night.

All sensors are prone to this. Most modern cameras allow pixel remap by the user (at least my Olympus does) in the menu. To remap pixels on M8,M9 it needs to be send to Leica to do it. If you print your work those lines would be visible on the final print.

Hola hermano, I can confirm, being an owner of a very prominent Leica M9 since 2013 ( previously owned by a prominent Leica photographer and well known musician) that these lines also appear in the M9. I took it to Leica Los Angeles in 2014/2015 to have it fixed. They subsequently replaced the sensor at the time, due to it having the usual sensor corrosion issue, however the hot pixel lines (2 of them, JUST like yours) still remained. It was harder to detect at low isos, however remained there regardless. Before any one comments, it was sent to New Jersey, then Wetzlar. I then took it to Wetzlar again that December and they acknowledged it was a known issue across both M8/M9 sensors. By the way, my partners father worked in the projector department at Wetzlar / Solms, so we have a very Deep Relationship with Leica, as well as using their cameras commercially. Viel Glück mi amigo

I did my own video on this topic when I got my M8 and I think when an M8 hasn’t been used regularly these dead pixels can happen. When I reached out to Leica Germany they said: „Each image sensor has a certain number of defective pixels (light or dark). These are already determined individually during production, stored in the camera and automatically “masked out” when the photo is taken. However, if the defects only appear after production, for example due to other external influences such as high temperatures, cosmic radiation or long exposure times, they can become disturbing. In this case, we use specially developed software to eliminate the fissure defects.“ That being said luckily if the dead pixels annoys you Leica will do the software repair and the cost is around 200€, which is in my opinion alright. Unfortunately the repair time is quite long, but I excited to get my M8 back when the repair has been done. Your video got me excited about my M8 again, great job! :)

I have the same issue on my M8. It has not stopped me from using it. My only issue is not finding a reliable backup battery.

Of my two M8s one has it, but you can only see it if you underexpose a lot.

Hello again Hugo, I hope you are well. Another very enjoyable, relaxing video with some lovely photos shown during it. I love your attitude to this issue, and you have demonstrated that it really isn’t something to get unduly worried about. Just go out and take photos! I don’t have an M8, but I do have an M9 (an M-E actually), and just love these ccd sensors. Best wishes for the festive season. Robin.

The only issues of the m8 is not having another battery to shot with. What a joy this tool is and what fun it is to use. Lovely to see a new video and more images from you. Your images are beautiful. Cheers.

I had an m8.2 and was one of my favourite cameras. It had a similair line but it did not bother me one bit

I have one and really love it. I take street photos with it and it goes unnoticed. It is a little beauty. Great video, stunning images. Cheers from México.

Very good photos! I like to see more from you!😊

Very nice. BTW, what is the guitar behind you? Makes me wonder if you made the chorus at opening and closing of the video.

Do you have an Instagram account?

True, one has to know when to not take pictures because also you are being a pain in the ass to your family but if I am somewhere where I should have taken the camera I get stomach ache. I think it is more of a decision of going to take pictures with a purpose. Just now I was trying to decide where in Barcelona should I go to take them. Will the place change if I don't take them... No. Will I change if I don't?. Maybe. You never know when you will take a ravishing picture and also I try to learn each time I get out, from taking pictures to being invisible or sadly to not get robbed. Saludos.

Your love and passion for photography is so genuine that it inspires me daily. It’s a gift from God, like your M8 and M9 Cameras. The Leica MD 262 and Summicron 50mm Rigid are what I feel God wanted me to use to photograph His nature by landscape photography. Photography can be a gift only God can give with some help from Leica…!

Baby Leica LX5

I love the leather case. The camera is special and demands a leather case as protection and wonderful sound dampening. 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟📷

Fact is it is all total BS.... All about drooling over brands....

Muy buenas señor!! Tus reflexiones siempre son buenas. En mi caso no siempre voy con una cámara y tiro de teléfono, pero eso no quita para que eche de menos la cámara. A la que sí que echo de menos es a mi m8. La vendí y creo que ha sido uno de los mayores errores que he cometido en fotografía. Ando buscando otra, pero los precios están imposibles. Espero que estés bien. Abrazo!

Hola Hugo! Beautiful images especially in black and white. I think the color images transforms the scene into a more mundane and typical scenario. The black and white can take the mundane and provide a more dramatic and interesting image, because it simplifies the mood. Your photos are always inspirational, and very thoughtful. On your recommendation and love of the M8, I bought one today (at a great discount) and will enjoy comparing to my M11. I would also like to see if your lenses are comparable to Leica lenses at the same focal length. You certainly bring out the best of all of your focal lengths. Keep experimenting my friend, you are teaching us all valuable lessons. Saludos de Michigan - Gracias, Fernando

The M8 sensor was a Kodak CCD that was based on the colours / rendition of Kodachrome, and to be honest, it is closer than any pre-set I've seen. The same goes for the Epson RD-1 which is the camera I would go for if they weren't so expensive for a 5mp camera. I've recently become the proud owner of a Leica M6 Titanium, but luckily didn’t pay the full market price for it because it was a prize in the Leica Hunter Competitions prize draw a few months ago, but to be totally honest I would prefer a digital Leica, as it might get more use. An M8, M9, M10 or M11 would be nice, but again the prices are crazy.

i got 20s in before i said "F*ck this ASMR BS" sorry man thats too scratchy

Thank's for a pleasant account video. I had to use my LX 100 more. 🙂🇳🇴

I have no enough words to thank you for this wonderful video. Both lenses are amazing. The pictures were so good. Thanks a lot. One question: is the voigtlander sc or mc lens? Thanks <3

Great picture Hugo! could say that its taken with Leica too

Wonderful photos - I like my b/w photos from my M240

As always great to hear from You! I often use my iPhone but in my mind I treat pictures from it worse than from my Leicas. Even if picture is interesting, something is not letting me believe that it’s „real photography”. I know, it’s stupid, but I can’t switch it off in my head ;)

Great to have you back posting again Hugo

Your photo with the I-phone was colourful and in the moment, I thought it was great! Cheers, Rob.

Gran video Hugo siempre es un placer escuchar tus experiencias fotográficas. Saludos!

Hello Hugo! Did you by any chance took one of Thorsten Overgaard workshops in the past? If yes, was it worth taking it? I would love to hear more about that workshop. Love your little M8 videos. Take care! Oh By the way the Elmarit 90mm lens looks like a bayonet when mounted on you Leica M8😂🤣😅

Muy buen video! Tengo una LX5 (muy similar a la LX3) y concuerdo en todo lo que mencionaste, es una cámara muy cómoda para llevar en situaciones cotidianas.

Great video, did you use a filter with all the M8 pictures? It would be great to have an M8 with no filter vs M9 in an all-b&w shoot out 😊

Great video. Please make more on the m8.

What happened to your cron?

I was really surprised how wonderful the colors and the contrast was on M8 photos. I wonder if it was still something in the settings.. M9 had some very sharp rendering and great clarity, but based on these example pictures (ceteris paribus) I would have chosen the M8.

Thank you for the update and the beautiful pictures, Cheers!

At the moment, I have both (M8.2 and M9). Have to deside, which one to keep at the end. Curious...

Úbeda, pequeña ciudad maravillosa , donde murió el gran poeta místico , San Juan de la Cruz. Bssss

That´s why I still have the M8 and sold my M9. Thanks for that comparison.
