To me the Canon is softer and warmer and the Leica is sharper and has a pleasing blue tint. Both are excellent for their application depending on what looks you're going to go for. There's no winner, just different tools for different jobs IMO. Excellent footage and music!

Luca thanks for sharing this comparison, it was simple, lovely and straightforward, the music really topped up this comparison. I'm waiting for my Leica Leitz Wetzlar Summicron R 50mm f2 and the Leica Leitza Wetzlar Elmarit R 135mm f2.8 to be Cine-Modded by Duclos. I sure will keep you informed about the progress.

❤Nice review! You should try the FD 28-50 f3.5 and 24-35 f3.5 two of the best FD zooms, sharp wide open and parfocal. You can also get the early chrome nose 35mm f2 concave at a good price and is optically identical to the SSC version.

@filmbyakiljoefield 6 ай бұрын

I'm definitely leaning more towards the Canon FD in these tests especially for their character and warmer tones, and the fact that they are much more affordable is a no brainer for me, thank you for the great test Luca! Which lenses exactly did you use here?

@LucaBono.Studio 6 ай бұрын

You're welcome! Yeah, for the money, canon FD are great! I've used only the canon fd 50mm f1.8 and leica r 50mm f2. I've sold all my other canon FD lenses....I've just kept the 50mm to use it with anamorphic scopes. Cheers!

How do you think the zeiss classics compare to the Leica r’s? Been wanting to get a new 35mm but I wanted something with better highlight roll off and I’m between a zeiss 35mm zf 1.4 and a summicron 35mm which are vastly different in price !

@LucaBono.Studio 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Victo...It depends if you want to build a set around that 35mm or not. Considering the price/size/rendering of the images, I suggest you to get the Summicron R 35mm...I've a Zeiss Classic 35mm F2 that I love, but it's not on the same level of the Leica R (if you don't care about perfect corner sharpness...the Leica R will never have perfect corner sharpness because of the optical design)

Really well presented comparison. Have to admit I enjoyed the music as well as the images. Will you be comparing the canon fd 24 2.8 to the Leica equivalent. Only ask as I have that lens. Thank you

@LucaBono.Studio 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you Oliver! I don't own the Canon FD 24mm F2.8 anymore...I sold it long time ago. As far as I remember the Leica R is way better that the Canon FD, the differences are more pronounced between the 24mm lenses. I've some footage of both lenses here and there in the channel: The Canon FD 24mm can be seen in the Contax Vs Canon FD video and the Leica R 24mm has it's own dedicated video. One more time, considering the price tag of both lenses...the Canon FD wins hands down, the Leica R is too expensive nowadays.

@rolyoliver 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for replying. Interesting. I checked out your Leica 24 video. I’ll check the other one out now. I have an nfd 50mm 1.4 and it’s definitely in a different league to my 24.

@damiendehorn6350 3 жыл бұрын

Canon produced FD 24mm 2.8 in SC, SSC and as the nFD. All are very different, the SCs single coatings caused way more flare's and is my lease favourite. The nFD is though plastic, has the best design with 10 elements in 9 groups and a floating element. The coatings are more consistent and has better control of CA.

@damiendehorn6350 3 жыл бұрын

Oh and the Leica R 24mm 2.8 was essentially a Minolta MD 24mm 2.8 design, in a Leica R body. Leica and Minolta had a close relationship and often used each others designs.

The lenses look very, very different here, of course, with the Leica R offering "more" in most every category. I'll say this, though: I have seen much closer comparisons between particular copies of these lenses, and I suspect it's likely due to how many changes the Canon FDs went through over the years. There's a LOT of difference between an early "Chrome Nose" FD 50mm and a later nFD 50mm. I have a nFD 50mm f/1.4 that looks considerably closer to the Leica R here than the FD copy in this video. My copy still doesn't look much like the Leica, though! I think all the FDs are going to look a good bit softer than a Leica R. I also have a Contax Zeiss 50mm f/1.4, for yet a different look altogether. All three "lens families" are wonderful at their own thing for sure!

@LucaBono.Studio 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Mark! Yeah, this Canon 50mm F1.8 FD lens can't really compete with the cron 50mm, but for the price it's pretty good. There are better lenses in the Canon FD lineup, like your 50mm f1.4, but I didn't really have a click with Canon lenses...that's why I've skipped to buy the good Canon FD lenses. After I've tried pretty much everything, the safest buy are Leica R lenses....you will always see people selling zeiss/canon/nikon/etc, for Leica glass but you'll never see people doing the opposite. The quality of the glass is better in Leica R lenses, you can really capture painterly images thanks to them. Cheers!

Leica R hands down 😍 sometimes IQ doesn't matter comparing to the handling, the joy that lens gives you, the feeling that urge you to pick the camera up and start shooting.

True, but when you go out with a Canon FD, you're super lightweight! But the leica is much much better both optically and mechanical. Cheers!
