Weirdo!! jkjk

how did you do that.. i subscribed to mattias for less than a year and i have a gr2... T_T )

Mattias also reviews phones, I found him through that. Early 2015 I believe.

oh.. never got to view that deep back.. i might see but old phones used arent really as valuable as slightly used cameras..

Ricardo Azevedo do you own a smartphone?

Thats great to hear :)

When I die I would like Mattias to narrate my life story, no one would listen but it would still be better with his voice LOL!

RETRO Machines I agree. I learn alot on this channel. I also love the wee dog.

Does anyone know where I can get a 5d mark 2 hotmirror?

Same.

I read you, man, the other day I went on and purchased a SIGMA dp1s after watching one of Mattias videos, I feel so guilty.

Mike Anastasio Yeah you don't need to try every camera. Its just my obsession :) There is an external viewfinder for the T. Unfortunately I haven't tried it so I can't say if its worth it.

The Corsentior amazing!

True

The Corsentior if it makes a clean 20x30, it’s a good camera. The rest is overkill.

FACTS

but for me your argument sounds like an excuse to buy a needlessly expensive camera. I need to know what make this worth it, other than subjective views about colours. I get that any reason is potentially good enough, but if you want to present it to others you need to either express this very succinctly (that it is subjective) or give more objective reasons.

I thoroughly enjoyed my TL2. Quick and snappy.

Kind words, thank you :)

Ed Pal That and cheap forgotten is my latest hobby :)

CCD is magic, love it :)

Xavier Fajardo ha ha :)

I would love to have he 35mm. Looking forward to seeing your review. Once in the system the TL2 becomes very tempting and not to expensive either.

I think the photos look great because the t has really excellent color accuracy

hello, i heard and saw one video, if you use adapters and use manual focus on this camera it will have 5 second auto photo preview after every photo captured...and it cant be turned off! so basically you have 5 second freeze after every capture.. is this true? or not anymore? your reply and input will be much appreciated..! as im very interested to buy this camera for manual lenses :') thank you

@@chunghyo.s2648 Hi, I would say 3 seconds for auto review and you can't turn it off. It is also true when you use the TL lenses. The T 701 and TL are not fast cameras and have no focus peaking but magnification X3 and X6. Not a drama for portraiture, Landscape and still ok for street (if you use the hyperfocal @f8). What I can tell is that the results are very good (if you shoot Raw) with the T 701 because of the 16m pixels Sony sensor but you have to take your time ;-) If you want a Leica with the latest tech then the Leica CL is the best bet. But the CL is not as special as the T 701 wich has a popup flash.. I like a lot shooting with the T701 with TL 18mm Elmarit or TL 23mm Summicron. It's really a nice experience every time. With M lenses like a 50mm Summicron, (indeed 75mm with the T) you will get beautiful results especially for portraits. The colors are great. Wich lenses are u going to use with ?

@@phathorn wow thank you for the detailed reply! i seee.. noted. well im still considering :) i am planning to replace my fuji x70 with leica T (planning to use it manually with m mount adaptors as my secondary camera) because i cant afford the TL lenses.. :/ i can find some cheap m mount lenses in my local store :) thats why. (7artisans/voigtlander lenses) but im concerned if it has that 3 second auto review.. :( but man Leica T is so good looking :)) anyways thank you for your time Mr Peter!

@@chunghyo.s2648 Your welcome. For me the auto review is not a big deal, this camera is not fast anyway. But you can still shoot during the autoriew, with no access at what you shoot

@@phathorn that's true :) if I want a fast camera there's plenty in the market.. silly me 😅 Thanks for the info🙏

Denae & Andrew Yeah I know most wont read the description, but hey :)

Steve Solomon I have done such a test but with the Xpro2 + 23mm next to the Leica. The result basically was that the extra resolution the Fuji has was lost due to the softer lens. I can ad the test to my blog post by tomorrow.

Sugarless Thanks man :)

@@chunghyo.s2648 Hello, sorry for late replying. In my experience, it takes around 1-2 secs only :D

@@dlivanto no problem! i see. then that would be quite bearable! thank you for the input :)

@@chunghyo.s2648 you’re welcome :D

Robert Holloway They retain their value very well. If bought used some of them go up. So you can give it a go without losing to much money.

Hi, how much did you pay for the combo, thanks, have a great day

evan uri parsons Agreed.

Awesome!

@@chunghyo.s2648 Hi, when I got mine recently it already has the latest firmware update and never experience this issue. I can't talk about the previous firmware since I never experienced it. I am using generic $35 adapter, and works well in my opinion.

@@hanselalvarez2690 wow I see. It's safe to assume leica has fixed the issue with the latest update then😁 thank you for the fast response 🙏😁 cheers

I used an adapter and that nerver happened, so I don’t think Leica fixed it, my guess is that there wasn’t any issue.

@@gearreallydoesntmatter wow reallyy??? 😳 Then probably that youtuber got a faulty one. Damn. I was worrying for nothing.. Anyways thank you so much for replying Mattias! Its clearer now after hearing 2 different individuals input 😁 btw I always enjoy your reviews! (Bought and tried fuji x70, leica x2, gr ii, Nikon df, Olympus pen f because of you!) 😁😁😁

Hey may I ask where can you get the deal?

Its a different experience. But do what I did, start with a used Leica M8.

John Taylor I have a review of a cheap Leica in the works :)

Mattias Burling ... I have always thought that the fuji x100 would be a logical cheap alternative to a leica, but watching your video certainly makes a good case for picking this Leica over the Fuji .... it is a no brainer, and the lens alone makes it so. Keep up with the great videos .... thanks again.

Get an X1 for 30 bucjs

I have heard somewhere that "Investing into a leica, is a good investment" since you never know how much the worth it cost after a day passed (leica keeps on getting expensive rapidly honestly)

@@TaintLuva ... more like 300+

I think it has to do with the so called "Leica colors", which is the way the lens + sensor interprets what it "sees" (on digital), and also the user experience of using a Leica. I say this having never used one, but I believe that's what it boils down to.

Rukkit What he said and also the lenses in terms of sharpness and contrast. There is a link in the description to a great video talking about sharpness.

Don't want to be confrontational, but it's like buying a Porsche. There is little rational reason behind it. A cheap car will get you to your destination just as well, but it might be more fun with a Porsche. Do you need an aluminium body that was hand polished for 45 minutes? Probably not. The reason why these photos look so good is because he is a good photographer. His pictures would look just as great with a cheap DSLR, but since taking photos has a lot to do with having fun while doing it, a Leica might be interesting to some. The vast majority of pro photographers use other cameras, so the picture quality can't be the issue. It's a camera for a niche audience.

If you can't see what "Leica Pop", "Leica Look" is all about, then you have to at least try using it. "Seeing on the pc monitor" alone will not make you understand about it. I talk from experience. I owned almost every other camera brands before but never Leica. BUT, i have borrowed a Leica which is the Leica X 113 that has the same sensor in T. And I can tell you one thing - I definitely can feel/see the Leica look that people are raving about. Previously, with Nikon, Canon and Fuji, people always talk about how sharp the lens. Sharp, sharp sharp...that is all, seriously sometimes i'm sick of it. But Leica is not only that. The separation, the micro contrast, the tonal transition etc - I can see it. When I shoot with Nikon, the skin tones of all the people in the pictures look almost the same, but with Leica, you can see the color transition look so subtle and alive. And believe me, You cannot just replicate Leica look/colors on other cameras or in post production. Believe me... I have been there, done that. The best you can get is 'close enough' but not 'the same'.

Butch - I somehow agree with you with the Porsche thing. Have argument on that but that's not important now. But when you mentioned "His pictures would look just as great with a cheap DSLR" - this is where you are missing the whole point. Matthias didn't intend to show you how good he is as a photographer when shooting with the T. But the guy was trying to covey the message about the whole package that Leica T can give you such as the great Leica colors/build quality & experience which is what Leica cameras is all about. Try using 2 cameras, say a T and Nikon D750 or whatever Nikons and shoot the same scene with the same lighting such what Mathhias did in this video. You will get different quality in terms of rendering/colors. Just try it. And this is what many 'naysayers' couldnt understand simply because they never tried the camera. Simple as that. Oh, by the way people always compare how many extra (not really useful) features they have on their cameras with the T. But now i want to ask you about these ONLY 2 features from the T that you would 100% need every day - The ability to directly charge the camera on the go via powerbanks & and a built in 16/32gb internal storage which is extremely useful, rather than 100 autofocusing point where most users will us majority of the time - only central focusing point! Now, how many competitors out there that offer these 2 features like the T. The T or other Leica might not have 100 features like other cameras. Heck, Leica might only have 10 features. But the 10 is the essential features that you used most. Thats the difference.

cnagappa I havent tried it but I can imagine. There will however be another X reviewed on this channel in the future.

cnagappa buy the Leica Q

If I was only gona have one camera it would be the GRii or X70. But since I have a fixed lens 28mm already in for example the Sigma DP1 I would choose the Leica /.

I shoot with a used Leica m240 and barely use the viewfinder. I set the appx distance and shoot wth the camera around my neck in the middle of my chest. I get great street art as no one has to "pose" plus it has given me a change not to rely on autofocus and improve my skills.

Angus O'Leary I have owned a Leica M Monochrome. Its nice. But since I shoot and develop my own film I rather use film for that.

What adapter do you use for your Rokkor lenses and the Leica?

@@KTK44 I m using a Hawks factory Leica M to SL helicoid adaptor on the camera with a generic MD Rokkor MD/M mount on my lenses. I use this rig because it lets me use much closer focusing on than the factory spec. I also have some M lenses and VC lenses in my collection.
