Yes I totally understand that and shoot a ton of film at all my weddings. My goal though is to blend a bit more contemporary style of photography with a timeless look of film. To me that means more candid natural moments rather than the slow posed photos you tend to see from the past. I love both but having the tools to help me approach that best is what I’m looking for.

Totally. Such a great camera.

Tôi yêu thích HEXAR.

Smart! Such an insane camera for the price.

I forgot to include that in this video. I actually took a video of me walking around with the camera on a neck strap. It balances soo poorly. It is such a bummer. The strap holders are in bad spots. It is so fun to shoot though.

The Hexar is a home run for sure. You need to try these. They both have their perks. I do prefer the M6 over the M7 though.

Rad that sounds like a good kit!

Thanks so much. I never tried the AF but the RF with my Leica glass is so fun. Such a great body.

Thanks!! That’s where I work.

Yeah that’s the tough part if it breaks. But you could buy 3 or 4 for the price of the Leica.

@@TonyWodarck here in germany a hexar on ebay costs as much as an M6....😅

What!?!? Crazy!!

You should. I was so surprised. I’m loving it.

Do you need auto focus? That should answer your question. For me I’d prefer to shoot film a bit slower and make sure my focus is exactly on what I want to draw attention to. Depends on what you are shooting and what you want the camera to do. For me I preferred the Hexar but I can see why people love the G2. It’s a suped up point and shoot.

If you’re going for the Leica just for the glass, DON’T. Zeiss glass is just as good if not better than Leica’s glass.

Thanks Benj!!

Rad!! The hexar is such an insane camera. I totally understand that decision. The m4 is a work of art as well.

For sure

The hexar is super nice but the Leica feels more timeless for sure.

The winding to the next frame doesn’t bother me as much as rewinding the roll which I believe the motor doesn’t do, right?

Thanks for watching. I wear glasses too but just add diopters to all my cameras so I don’t need to wear them. The hexar was a similar viewfinder and it’s harder to find diopters.

@@TonyWodarck ..thank you... 🙂

Thank you!!

Thanks so much! Here’s a an in depth video on how I shoot film at weddings. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j72Cd8tlnKy6gac.html To answer your questions I shoot both film and digital. For how my couples react, most can’t tell the difference they just love my work and aren’t sure why. I kinda coach and educate them through the process why I prefer film. But I shoot digital as it gets darker / night then match my digitals to film. I’ve actually been shooting a bit more digital lately cause TAP presets are so good.

@@TonyWodarck thanks a lot for your answer and your explanation! Now I understand your workflow in a better way and your clients feelings. I will check your vídeo as soon as I can!!

Do you already own some good Leica glass?

@@TonyWodarck not at the moment but if I get the Hexar body I’ll get with the Leica glass

If you need autofocus get the G2. If you prefer manual focus get the hexar.

I have the Summilux 50 ASPH. It’s my all time favorite lens. I also have a 35 cron ASPH v1 and a 28 Cron ASPH. All these photos in this video were shot with the 35 cron.

@@TonyWodarck do your Leica m lenses have any compatibility issues with the hexar rf body? I’ve read some rumors of focusing issues.

Of course! 😉

Good to know! Thanks!

Why?

I did a comparison video of the 1V vs the Eos 3. Will be releasing it tomorrow.

@@TonyWodarck Nice, i'll be waiting. Thanks.
