So I guess the moral for me: the sensor doesn’t matter, only the execution of the vision. Thanks for killing CCD interest for me; I’m certain overall a M10 or M11 will be the best camera, as it will allow easier execution of my vision. :)

    M11 is a "meh" camera, not only because they made away with the nice and special esthetics as the bottom plate , shutter (and sound) and so one.. BUT: -It's slow. Like SUPER slow - It freeze's and looks up ALOT. - Low depth of field because 60 Megapixel (ur a street shooter and accustomed to shoot at F5,6-F7?, now u need F8-F11 to get same resultat going into the files AND congrats, you are now are hitting diffraction and images apers softer then u would like .. ALSO see next part..) -BAAAD Iso performance because of 60 Megapixel (if u comment, "yeah but its better if down scale it too 40 or 24 megapixel", even if that was ture, (which it ain't , if dont own the camera ur self, here u can see it testet with against a m10m and a m10r ruclips.net/video/3-z5LuOOnBU/видео.html) then what was the point of 60 Megapixel again. ) -60 Megapixel is SUUPER demanding on the objectives you use and u need to have be much more precise to get critical focus. I miss the Leica that keept going its own route. Like with Monochrome and "D series without a screen". Like give us a fun Camera like a 24-36 megapixel CCD that goes to iso 3200 with a super usable iso 1600 That would be magical ! No screen, and return to the M10P/M10M/M10R shutter and shutter sound! Let the photographer set the exposure them self. U dont need auto light meter in the camera. Learn to gauge light based on the scene, and u don't blow out images never again.. (Which even modern auto meters does!)

    When I had the opportunity to shoot them side by side, the pre-FLE was able to produce much more pleasing out-of-areas. The FLE had very sharp outlines around out of focus highlights in my testing, which often resulted in very nervous and too contrasty backgrounds for my taste. Especially in more architectural settings sometimes high contrast areas in the background looked like they were "in focus". In terms of sharpness the FLE is way ahead of course.

      yeah I was really surprised that both of my copies showed little to no difference in background smoothness. But again my asph is the later 6 bit coded version. Maybe there's copy variances and I heard they changed the glass (not design of course) during the production life time of the asph. The earlier ones might share some glass with the double aspherical.

    I use Zeiss Nikon F mount (ZF) lenses as a perfect alternative to Leica, Nikon, and Voigtländer lenses. I use the following Zeiss ZF lenses on my Nikon SLRs: 18mm f/3.5 28mm f/2 135mm f/2

    The strength of this lens is closest focusing distance 0.35m which most of other m lens could not give you. I wonder why you did not mentioned …. And the price , is not fall into similar category of summicron

      @@adrianleung3760 that was an oversight by me because I shoot mostly with my rangefinder patch and for general street photos. I am actually curious how many ppl would buy a lens for its close focus capability on a rangefinder system. They are inherently not designed for this kind of photography.

    This lens has severe green fringing. Are you blind with it? It performs on the level of rf 35 mm f1.8. It can’t even dream to be on the level of rf 35 mm f1.4 L with no flaws in chroma at all. Stop disturbing lie and getting money from Leica advertising.

      @@goldenstasgs what are you talking about? I’ve never accepted any money from any lens manufacturers. And plus if you watch my channel enough, I’m all about bashing Leica. But for what it is. It’s THE best Leica 35mm M mount lens. Yes it’s not as good as the new gigantic RF mount lenses and even Sony G masters. But that’s not the point.

    Nice photos and thanks for the detailed review! Wasn’t the M9 was the first mirrorless camera with a full frame sensor? So that must have been state of the art at the time, right?

      @@krolldavid no it’s sensor spec was outdated. Being the first mirrorless doesn’t warrant you the best sensor. It does render beautifully though.

      ​@@JimmyChengThe specs were "outdated" but the sensor is still state of the art. It renders colours like a tiny Hasselblad H digital back with those Kodak CCDs. Leica M8/M9 files and Hasselblad H2/3/4/5 files play beautifully together with a little more quick editing on the Leica side.
