There is an option in the SL menu to disable the button you hit with your nose when you are looking through the view finder. I to had that problem but fixed it with the menu option. The button works when you aren’t looking through the EVF. Very slick.
Hi Luca, after watching your video I bought that camera, the SL and a Leica adapter to use R lenses, it's fabulous, you were absolutely right, but with the video you can barely hear a whisper when you put your ear to its speaker. Sorry, is this normal? I put all the audio settings at maximum when recording, almost shouting into the microphone. I thank you for your information because I made the purchase in an official Leica store and it is under warranty.
@@LucaBono.Studio Thank Luca, it’s what I’m going to do, the issue that I have is that isn’t come sound after I record a video from the loudspeaker from the camera. You have to put your ear over it to hear a very little whisper. So you finally upgraded, ¿no?
Yeah that's weird and you should let it check. Back then I had the Leica SL as a loan for two months, while my Lumic S5 was being repaired. I'm now waiting for the right occasion to buy the SL2. Cheers!
Luca, the dreamy background in this video is just stunning. Could you share with me what lens you filmed yourself with while you were outside in the garden? Greetings form germany
Love the images, and would love for you to take the SL2 or SL2S for a spin. Leica seem to have addressed many of your current issues in those models :)
Hello Luca, I would be very grateful if you could recommend one or two adapters as I see you use in your video, to work with autofocus and other electronic adjustments with a Leica R Vario Elmar 28 - 70 mm lens, as well as a digital camera body that It works well for both video and photo, thank you. In your video it's Leica Sl with Leica R lenses, like I have, it seems like your opinion is that maybe it's better to use all Leica for this, right?
Hi Emilio. I think the easiest way to have AF is to buy a Leica R to Leica M adapter, buy the Techart Leica M to Nikon Z, buy a Nikon ZF...It's going to be expensive. Both Leica SL and Nikon Z cameras have a thin protective glass of the sensor, so your lenses will perform the best 👌🏻
Thank you very much for your help Luca, if indeed that is the solution, first the Leica R for L and then the Techart, which has also just released an improved model right now, the "9". The camera is also very appropriate and it seems that there is also a lot of consensus that it is an extraordinary product, both for video and photography. In another video I think I've seen you with a Leica SL, which one do you like best? that or the Nikon? Have a great day. Emilio. @@LucaBono.Studio
Ciao Luca! Complimenti per il video (e per le foto), è sempre un grande piacere ascoltarti. Condivido un pensiero: ho provato la SL2-S presso il Leica Store con 3 lenti Leica R differenti e ho avuto una strana sensazione.. mi è sembrato che la macchina restituisse file troppo puliti, come se un pò si perdesse il carattere vintage delle lenti e la loro resa si "modernizzasse". Cosa che con la S1 non mi capita. Tu non hai avuto questa impressione?
Ciao Fra! Si, anche io l'ho notato con la prima SL...è perché davanti al sensore ce un vetro correttivo, che converge meglio la luce quando si usano lenti che non hanno elementi asferici. Almeno questo è quello che ho letto in giro...a me onestamente piace la resa pulita, senza aberrazioni cromatiche. Saluti!
@@LucaBono.Studio Ciao Luca! Grazie per la tua risposta. Si, come dici poi diventa soprattutto una questione di gusto. Comunque la SL è davvero una bella macchina. Un saluto a te!
Great review. I have Leica lenses which have all EF mounts for my bmpcc 6K pro. I’m looking now for a camera just for photos with my leica R lenses. The Leica SL would be awesome but I don’t want to unscrew always the Leitax Ef Adapter. So I should purchase a Canon EF to SL adapter? And do you think it works?
Thanks mate! Yes, you can buy any passive adapter from Canon EF to Leica L...the Novoflex adapters have precise infinity focus, but I'm not sure if they make them from Canon mount.
The SL2-S is really attractive for shooting vintage lenses, but there are a lot of reports of bad battery life. I hope Leica sorts that out in firmware updates.
Ciao Luca. Love your color grading on this video! Was it shot on the S5? thinking about getting an SL aswell and planning to shoot my contax zeiss and Voigtländer M glass.
Hey Chris! Thanks mate, it was filmed with the S1...but it's the same as the S5. I've just used my Crunchy Wasabi LUT (ex film look 1 LUT) on top of V-LOG. I think that the SL/SL2/SL2s are the best cameras for film lenses. I will buy the SL one day...that's for sure!
Do you have Leica M-Mount lenses? Then you need an Leica M to Leica SL adapter...I've been using Leica R lenses on this Leica SL, they have Leica R mount
I have a third party l to m Mount the sl2 not liking it at all.. The Cl on the other hand, just works… Pain in the neck… I have a rather nice collection of vintage class I want to use on full frame
Hey Bhagwan! The Contax Zeiss 35mm F2.8 is amazing and not too expensive...if you need a faster one the Leica R 35mm F2 is the best in class...if you need a cheap one, check the Yashica 35mm f2.8
Hey! I was shooting jpeg + raw, but I loved the look of the jpegs. There's no need of editing the photos with the Leica SL if you nail the wb and exposure imho...
@@LucaBono.Studio yes, i shoot with the SL2 and the combo is yes astonishing. Its actually helped me become a better photographer when using other platforms: it raised my personal sensitivity levels in many areas.
If you have found this video useful, I'll really appreciate a like to the video and subscribe in the channel to support my work. Ciao!
YES! The original SL had that magic that few cameras ever do. I regret letting it go, but I needed the money at the time.
100% true...I wonder if the new SL2S can do the same. The prices in the used market are going down!
I got my Leica SL 601 this week and im sooo happy. Love the files!
There is an option in the SL menu to disable the button you hit with your nose when you are looking through the view finder. I to had that problem but fixed it with the menu option. The button works when you aren’t looking through the EVF. Very slick.
Of course, I subscribed. Bravo
Thanks for the sub!
Got my SL today! I am going to use it with Olympus OM Zuiko lenses and it will replace my Sony A7. Thanks Luca.
The sensor from the original Q and the original SL is pure perfection
I guess I should get the Leica Q then 😁

I don't know about you, but I love the JPEGs that are coming out from this camera! What do you think about it?
Love the images, and would love for you to take the SL2 or SL2S for a spin. Leica seem to have addressed many of your current issues in those models :)
I never use JPEG !

Ciao Luca. The r lenses : I can get a good r macro 100 mm 2.8 yet it isn't Rom. Is it correct that Rom is preferable for SL camera's?
The 100mm f2.8 is so well corrected optically that I wouldn't care about the cpu contacts for the exif information and automatic digital correction
Talk to me about the R to L adapter you use please
Just get the Novoflex...all the other adapters are a waste of money
@@LucaBono.Studio Thank you so much! 🙏🏿
@@LucaBono.StudioYep I agree. First tried an Urth adapter but I had light leak. The Novoflex works perfect.
How are you adapting your vintage lenses… what adapter are you using…
My voiglander not working with it
Do you have Leica M-Mount lenses? Then you need an Leica M to Leica SL adapter...I've been using Leica R lenses on this Leica SL, they have Leica R mount
I have a third party l to m Mount the sl2 not liking it at all..
The Cl on the other hand, just works…
Pain in the neck… I have a rather nice collection of vintage class I want to use on full frame
Luca, do you have recommendations for a 35mm vintage lens I could use for the S5? Mainly worried about focus breathing.
Hey Bhagwan! The Contax Zeiss 35mm F2.8 is amazing and not too expensive...if you need a faster one the Leica R 35mm F2 is the best in class...if you need a cheap one, check the Yashica 35mm f2.8
Is that auto focus adapter?
Is there a reason you were shooting jpeg instead of raw? Did you find it easier to get better colour from the Jpegs?
Hey! I was shooting jpeg + raw, but I loved the look of the jpegs. There's no need of editing the photos with the Leica SL if you nail the wb and exposure imho...
Nice video. Are there settings to change the white balance? Thanks
Thank you,
The Leitz/Leica-R Lenses works just as fine on my Sony A7RIV !
They will work better on the Leica SL2 :)
This is my body and lens combo and its UNBEATABLE.
Yes, it's a perfect combo! Hopefully one day I'll buy the SL2
@@LucaBono.Studio yes, i shoot with the SL2 and the combo is yes astonishing. Its actually helped me become a better photographer when using other platforms: it raised my personal sensitivity levels in many areas.
Nice review. The 'wildlife' part is not very realistic.
Thank you! Why do you think so? I never tried the camera with super long lenses
@@LucaBono.Studio Mainly because of the AF. Perched birds or wildlife not moving fast should be not a problem though.
