I had one for a week, and it is a lovely camera with a built quality that is, of course, everything that one comes to expect from Leica... but... BUT... I wasn't sad to give it back, and I almost felt a relief when I went back to my X-E1. This camera didn't feel as natural. The menu system is incredible, and it was the only touchscreen camera I have used where I wasn't completely put off by the touchscreen vs. button interface, but.... I can feel buttons. My X-E1, for all its foibles (of which there are a few), feels more like me than the Leica did. And because I LOVE my Pentax & 7artisans lenses, I gotta GOTTA have focus peaking! I got my X-E1 on a whim, because I wanted something small to carry around rather than my 5D and red rings, and it is definitely my favourite camera to use now. Had I picked up the Leica before the Fuji, I would probably think much differently. Both cameras are amazing, both have a subtle and ethereal feel to them.

I have watched a lot of photography channels but Matthias Burling's offers consistently great advice in a practical positive tone without the bloviating bs you see too often elsewhere. The site is for people who actually enjoy photography rather than for gearheads who are more interested in manhood measuring contests over specs than in actually taking pictures. I love the cost conscious advice and the attention to 'classics' like the M8 and the GXR rather than to the latest and greatest for their own sake (I have used both and still have the GXR and he's right ) His photographs are lovely and demonstrate what these cameras can do in attentive hands.

The content, the way you presented the facts/arguments were really spot on compared to many other 'camera reviewers' out there who only care about features. Well, as we know it, there is a difference between a photographer who reviews a camera, than any blokes who reviews camera - just for the sake of making reviews! Now, I seriously have to reconsider my 'budget' option. I'm saving for a used Leica X 113. But recently saw someone selling the original T with 23 f2 with a decent price. After watching this video, I think I am leaning towards the T with 23! And oh, what a lovely pictures taken by the T you got there. Subscribed!

I got my Leica T for $600 off ebay, it was a display body and it is flawless, it did not come with charger though, but I don't shoot so much that I need my battery charging so when the TL2 came out, I was just fine with my T, I think I love the design and built quality more than performance, so because this lacks nothing in looks, why would I drop 2k on the TL2? no reason to! This is your chance to get one with or without lens, it will be available for bargain price, remember you can not expect it to be too cheap, get a good one even if you have to pay $100 more! I use mine with vintage RF lenses and I own just one M leica lens - 0.95, Body is solid and very compact, I LOVE IT! THANKS MATTIAS - True and unbiased! Great advice!

OVF/EVF, leaf shutter, built in ND filter.. all nice features that cost money to add. It's a shame Fujifilm hasn't updated the X-70, which would be a spot on comparison, that the Leica T would provably win.

Initially I just bought the Leica T for the look. The black T with 23/2 looks just right. Minimalism at its best for a modern camera. What surprises me was the photo I got with it. Better than my K-3, fuji X-T2 and still there's people on facebook doubting me. I don't know what makes it so great but I just love the photo. Even the video I got from the T looks good. After the rumor of the new T body, I got the 11-23 and TL35. Didn't like the 11-23 that much but love the 35. And I just bought the TL2 a week ago. Hopefully I'll start my own KZfaq channel reviewing it and your video is just making me feel so relaxed. There's someone else like me, like the T system. Great video!

@@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 ?

Very nice review as always, Mattias! I actually came to it while searching for Fujifilm X100F reviews, as I already have an X-Pro 2 with some superb XF lenses. However, with the new TSA policies, I was considering a fixed-lens camera like the Fuji X100F. As sharpness and detail are my main concern for an upcoming portrait shoot, it would have been nice to see the same image shot with both the X100F and the Leica, same lighting, exposure, etc., just to compare detail rendering of each system. Thank you sir.

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.

Enjoyed your review. I own a Leica X (Typ 113) and enjoy it. The Leica 23mm Summilux on the Leica X is quite something. It beats my Fuji X100 and also X-T10 + 23mm F1.4 lens by a wide margin. I am wondering if you have tried the Leica X and, if so, you opinion of it in comparison to the Leica T + 23mm Summicron.

Interesting perspective. So if you had to choose between the Leica T, x100f, x70, and the Ricoh GR II, which one would you pick (I know the question will pop up, "well it depends what you want to use it for," but I'm asking you for you not for me).
@gearreallydoesntmatter7 жыл бұрын
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 /.

Love the review as always, but there is one HUGE problem with this camera. Lack of viewfinder. Whether that be an EVF or rangefinder. If it had one, I would actually consider picking up a used one. And yes I know I can buy one for the hot shoe but then it just ruins the looks. And no matter what anyone says thats one of the reasons to buy a leica. Other than that though, it is great to see leica making cameras that are actually almost attainable by the average enthousiast. Would love to see your thoughts on the Leica Monochrome if you can ever get your hands on one. I had the opportunity to borrow one for a weekend and really fell in love with it!

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.

Great video Mattias. I have owned a T for a couple of years and it gives me files that need less tweaking than my a7. I also have a huge Rokkor collection and it is a great back for those old lenses. The workflow is weird and definitely not for pay jobs. That being said it is the most enjoyable camera I currently own. It forces you to concentrate on the shot and removes distractions.

What adapter do you use for your Rokkor lenses and the Leica?
@tedbahas2 жыл бұрын
@@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.
