The parka is not "organic" since it is some plasticky garbage made in Bengladesh 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

If you can’t afford Leica, use a different system. Your lens could be slightly out, I had Leica lenses that were. Especially if it’s f1/ f1.4.

Things have definitely not improved. Just use your phone. That’s my tip !

If ever there was a video to prove it’s not about gear, this is it. The photos were absolutely awful. Just use your phone !

Man I love my 35mm Distagon. The only other lens that I want for its back-up is 35mm 8 elements Summicron.

Extremely helpful. Thanks!

Looks just like a Fuji.

Dude, this was so, so confusing to follow - just train of thought rambling, virtually no info provided - a complete waste of time for creator and viewer

Kai shout out was genuinely hilarious ifykyk. Also accept no substitute, if you want wild character bokeh plus high contrast and sharpness there is no other game in town

Adam, is the Noctilux’s color fringing due to lateral or longitudinal chromatic aberration, or both? It looks at least like longitudinal.

A handgrip and thumb support would make the Noctilux feel more comfortable in hand.

I just scored a mint condition pre-owned silver Noctilux-M 50 mm f/0.95 and it’s on the way here. From earlier tests I did with a friend’s f/0.95, I know it’ll render much differently than my Noctilux f/1 and f/1.2 and Summilux-M lenses.

Working professionally with an m10r every day since 3 years (portraits/press) I thought people would react diffrently to it. The ones that know what it is always think it's great and react very positively, and the ones that don't know the brand like it too and think it's beautiful. The only people that ever hate on it are other photographers. I mostly is alongside my nikon, mostly with the 35, sometimes a 50. It very unobtrusive and a joy to work with. I think your review is very good!

This lens is beautifully made, feels very solid and even if big is perfectly balanced on an m240. I took it in silver like my body and what a look. It could be the Q with a 35mm that Leica never did and I don t understand why… they did the Q3 with a 43mm with is far less interesting for me.

great video! Quick question: Which priority mode (PASM) do you use when shooting with the Leica SL adapted? Can you also shoot in A with the original Leica adapter and Leica lenses, since they recognize the lens? I currently own the Novoflex adapter with the 50mm 2.2 Skopar and (unless I haven't figured it out yet) can't shoot in A (ISO goes crazy there and stays at 100 so my shutter speed is incredibly slow) and now use S-priority for that as I don't want to give up the auto iso and want to have some auto.mode in there. I would be very grateful for your experience and answer. Maybe there will be another video on this. Thanks to you!

I see a second drawback for film makers, that's the distortion outside focusing zone. I have that kind of distortions with a 1974 nikkor SC 35 1.4. But think it's more crazy and artistic with the $300-400 like nikkor legend. So more usable and powerful as a tool. I'm living in a super 35 world with speed booster added.

Theres no way you can trick us guy with supermarket gimmicky whatever products. Thanks for the pics that say it all.

I would rather live with a 39,74 1.4, weighting 450g than a tiny 40 2.8... Not giving away any brand, you find yourself. That's part of your talent.

If someone is considering M10 ownership, this is the first video they should watch. Kudos on a human scaled review, that truly captures digital M ownership. Neither bogged down in tech , nor simply fan boy obsession. I have owned an M-9 (retained) a pair of 240s, an M10 and M10P (retained). The P is a camera i simply cannot put down.

any idea how this compares with the APO 50 summicron SL on an SL camera?

Not available in m mount but I'd love to see a comparison between the noctilux and the brightin star 50mm f/0.95 full frame. Even cheaper than the ttartisan somehow

I wonder how the KamLan 28/1.4 would compare. Many reviewers speak highly of that manual-focus lens, including Dustin Abbott. Introduced 7 years ago at $200, it now sells for less than $100.

Does it do back button AF?

Nice review, but the comment about Japanese lenses not having nice glow is real Leica poshness

how about the character of this lens compares to voigtlander28 mm f 1.5 ?

This video was 32 minutes long yet each word felt necessary. Great video! Thank you.

Thanks for the insights, really helpful tips :)

I am going to be buying this lens this week, having just purchased a Leica M6 and after your comprehensive review thank you very much. A viewer from Northern Spain

You apparently had to make some written corrections to the video that not everyone will notice. That is a bit sloppy, degrades your video and might suggest bias. Pity.

Oddly realized you were left eye dominant even on a rangefinder from this video haha

The older, "fatter" PD anchor cords surely can't fit. It looks impossible. But NO, this absolutely works. Thank you - a must have hack for the very tiny lugs on the trendy X100VI.

I don't think i will buy this viewfinder then! thanks. I once took shots of someones kids and the father loved them and asked what camera i used. I said its not a big deal and a camera is a tool etc. He persisited and i finally said it was a Nikon. He was going to be Leica Maketing director in USA....if I had been more impressed maybe he would have given me one...although i would have sold it and used the Nikon.!

Nah. There are better. The 1.2..

It's fabulous but, be careful, if you try the double aspherical you will go utterly nuts.

How does the Simera 35mm 1.4 compare to the Nokton 1.5? Are you still using the Nokton? Thanks

actually... I like the TTartisan better according to this review. I have the 35mm F/0.95 for my X-T5 and it's a very interesting lens, probably not the same quality that what they have made for Leica mount though

When I pause to look at your comparison shots, TH-cam UI pops up and covers the text you put in to identify which camera shot which image. Just letting you know, it's hard to see what was shot by what camera because I have to pause the video.

It’s interesting why to buy this lens for Canon if RF 50 mm 1.2 L has sharp image wide open, no chromatical aberration and flaring and cost same as Voit 50 mm 1.0

Genius

sheesh bro idk how you did it, I just got the new x100vi and the peak design camera strap and it has not been pulling through even with the floss, ill have to give it a 3rd try

Thanks for the review. It was helpful. I'll stick with my sumicron. I do not think i need such a lens for my Leica; i'll use my GFX and the 80 1.7 for shallow depth of field. PS: the only country on the planet that uses imperial is the USA; stick to metric! ;-)

Can you make a Short of the dog popping at the beggining? hahahaha it was great. What´s his/her name?

Great review and wonderful photos. I use this lens on a Minolta CLE and plan to use it even more there on film and on the SL and CL/TL2 on digital.

Love my M10, I won't upgrade until it dies. I don't have an issue shooting up to 12,500 as long as the exposure is okay, you get some grain but it's not horrible (you wouldn't use it for commercial work though) and if it's in black and white even better. If needed the new AI denoise in LR will do AMAZING work. Mine needed a vertical alignment but its super easy, its under the Leica dot in front. Just gently turn it off with some chop sticks and adjust like 1/16 of a turn in the direction needed.

what strap are you using?

I enjoyed this review very much. I'm on the verge to selling my Sony gear in order to jump into an M10. I hope I still manage to photograph music festivals with it.

I hope they re-release the 35mm without the infinity lock. :-)

Thanks for sharing your updated thought! :) Your review of the 28 1.4 Simera was one of the video, which decided to get the lens for my kit. And yeah, for that price point is so much fun And now I probably will get the 50mm 1.4 and in contrast to you, I will probably sell my 50mm 1.4 Lux ASPH for it. Simple reason is that I currently only shoot film on my Ms (for digital I lately got the Q3 43). And since I'm a hobbiest and don't do any paid work, I don't need that Leica extra quality and I'm honest to myself - I don't see the difference in daily use, specially on film :) and the extra money would fill up the hole a bit, which the Q3 43 caused :D xD I'm curious when Thypoch will release the Summicron equivalent line up :D And also in this comment again :P : I'm very curious about your upcoming M10R video :). A bit of off topic, but I would also love to see your opinion / thoughts about the Leica Monochrome cameras or simply your reaction to Leica Monochrome files. If I see it correctly there is currently no video from you yet :) Keep up your great work!

The manufacturer pronounces the name with a D sound: Dhy Pok. Although, my preferred pronunciation is "Thai pooch".

Am I right in assuming that they wouldn’t add much over a leica lens for the ones of us who own one?
