Those new prices boggle the mind. Even the used prices. Yikes!

Oh yes, the pinnacle of high cost! But to their credit they found a path to carve out a niche in the high end market.

Great video. 👍 I recently switched from a Canon R5 to the Hasselblad X2D, but I also want a compact zoom lens EDC camera, so my first Leica will be the D-Lux 8. I know it’s old Panasonic/Leica tech with a few upgrades, but it’ll be perfect for what I want. Maybe an M will follow in the future.

Thank you Peter! Curious to see what you think of the DLux.

@@forgottenamericana Me too. I keep looking at the alternatives, but I’m not convinced there is one. That said, you got me scouring the internet for Leica Ms last night. Because I’ve already bought a trio of Voigtlander M lenses for my X2D, I’d only need a body.

M3 through a trade and refurb voigtlander 40. Overall cost me about $750 for my setup. Then film, and dev, and scanning. I dev and scan myself so save cost there. That new Pixii Max is looking nice at that price.

You really got the price down with that M3!

Wrt lenses, the 35mm are way more expensive than the 28mm. The 28mm Elmarit is a great lens and not all that expensive.
@forgottenamericana Ай бұрын
Yes but its 28mm...LOL...With primes, focual length is like trying on a pair of pants. Use what fits you. For me, 28mm is a tad wide for everyday work (One of the reasons why I never by a Q series - 28mm). And 50mm is too tight. Now, with that said, I do dabble in 28mm and 50mm from time to time. But 35mm is my EDC lens.

How about a Fuji X-Pro2 with 23mm/f2? for under a grand?
@qwertyuijamesop Ай бұрын
that won't do for them because it's not leica.
@forgottenamericana Ай бұрын
YES! I used to have a X-Pro3 and XT-4 before I was into Leica. Great cameras, but I got tired of APS-C and some of the primes not being updated.

I have owned and used three Leica cameras. M1 -- used on a microscope while I was in college. M6 -- used with 21/35/90mm lenses as a supplement to my Nikon SLR film system. M10 -- used as my only full-frame digital camera.
