Well, I`ve shot film for over 30 years, Leica M3 and Nikon F2. The film experience forced me to go digital, price and long waiting time for developing film. So since my love for film the decision for a Leica MD 262 was an easy choice. I shoot the MD 262 the same way as a film camera! Similar concentration while looking for the perfect shot. The MD 262 slows me down as much as the film cameras in manual mode. The Summicron f/2 50mm Rigid paired with the MD 262 results in a total filmic experience. Film is not dead, it just went to the MD 262...!

The 2.8f is awesome. I'm sure the Rolleicord is too though, never tried one.

Just discovered your videos as I was getting back into photography myself. Happy to see you're doing good and thank you for making such great videos!

Love your photos

Nice work and so grainy style overall. Like it a lot.

Deck of cards!! Love it!

Im really waiting for the comparison between Nokton and Noctilux 🙏🏻

The lens is mighty beautiful!

In your full video please show the view in the viewfinder if possible. I want to see how much blockage is there with and without the hood. I am considering getting it for an M3 but want to know how much blockage I’ll be dealing with

I just got mine today. I prefer the ergonomics to my Leica 50mm 0.95. Shot some photos with my M11-P and was impressed. I wish it had the close focus that my Leica 50mm 1.4 lux. I'm going to sell the 0.95 now that I've got this one.

So excited to see more! I haven't loved the reviews I've seen so far, but this lens still intrigues me as a happy owner of the Voigtlander 50mm 1.2 iii

metal advance lever looks like a penis lol

A huge thank you to Prime Camera Singapore for loaning this lens to me for this video! Correction - the full review of the 21mm F1.8 is on the channel, but I’ve yet to make one for the 35 Nokton…. Hopefully one day!

looking forward to the Nokton vs Nocti in the future! you mentioned you've reviewed the Nokton Classic but i couldn't find the video. would love to know your opinions tho especially when it was designed to be very closely similar to steel rim.

Have you tried Kodak 5222 (Double X)? I think bought at 400 feet it might be cheaper than Foma

Unmatched vibes in this one. Impeccable song choice. some great photos too.

Look forward to a shootout comparison of this vs nokton f1 vs 1966 f1.2 reissue!

More photos from this lens please!

How do you like it in handling when shooting compared to the regular black version? I’m trying to decide which of the two to get. 🤔

Damn it feels like i just got a free lesson from rick rubin. Please post videos about how to choose/process film and about your photobooks! Thank you!

Wow, I love the look of your images! What are you exposing for with your MP? Highlights or shadows? Thanks!

Enjoy your journey

Excellent video and comparison. It was very helpful. I preferred the reissue most of the time. Sometimes the vintage (it was made in 1990s, that is not vintage in my book, 1960 is LOL) was more to my liking. I would probably be happy with either, but if I had to choose I would take the reissue, unless I could find a suitable 1960 one to match my M2.

Great video - very informative. Thank you!

I find the Apo-Summicron-M 50 to be extremely natural in its rendering, not clinical at all.

Love this video, and completely agree with the view on capturing the ideas and things you want to capture as opposed to only chasing nice compositions. A wonderful reminder for anyone starting out in photography. Subscribed, and I think I might find myself coming back to this video a lot. I think a lot of it comes down to valuing your own work/product because it is your work and because it captures things you hold dear or think are important as opposed to only conforming or chasing an external validation of your work. But on the flip side with rising prices of film it’s hard to let yourself explore and not feel like you need a higher hit rate in every roll or that you are wasting film (and money) when you don’t capture something that is ‘nice’. Fully agreed that it is ultimately about finding your own voice and realising how you want to portray your view/perspective of the world.

Your eloquent and beautiful description of the v2’s rendering (like tissue paper) really got me… but I have to say, I preferred the rendering with the reissue in nearly every image. Definitely on my must-have list now.

Thanks for making such a great video. Got a pre-a after watching it, love that lens. And now considering getting a vintage steel rim, wondering if it has more character and more fragile.

Fantastic Video! I can see all the hard work and effort put into it. Subbed!

That format-switching mechanism is such a Classic piece of Fuji engineering. (The X-pan is basically a Fuji camera). Kind of reminds me of the switching between EVF and optical viewfinder on the Fujifilm X-pro series. This was a really comprehensive review of the X-pan and the panoramic format, thank you. Sadly out of my price-range but I’ll happily get my 65x24 fix from my second-hand GFX 50s, which cost a lot less than an X-pan!

Nice camera collection!

Absolutely amazing! About to get out my f6 and shoot this coming weekend

How is that review coming along? Looking forward to it.

Just seen this video after deciding to jump fully into fomapan 400 after trying a bunch of rolls on 35mm (and currently tryng Kentmere 400 on 120). Unfortunatly yes, I had the same issue with quality control of the film, having the same "lines" you show during the video.

one word: overpriced!!!!!! beautiful camera, but too expensive..

Got to say during the whole video I was rooting for A, its qualities closer to my photography. I really enjoyed the poetic nature of your review, one of the better lens comparisons I’ve seen. I love more that you finish with “keeping both”. It couldn’t be different. I’ve come to dislike reviews that glow on a lens only to end with a discard, a sold or a return. If were shooting these wonderful machines as a means to express ourselves, then it’s the only possible outcome. There are things only A can say, there are things only B. The challenge will be to pick which one is on the camera most of the time. 😊 Thanks.

You have a new fan! I really like your style and videos. Keep it up!

The choice is actually very easy. If you want a properly Leica lens with good build quality, buy the Pre-ASPH V2 because the build quality of the steel rim remake is not as good as a $500 Voigtlander. If you want filter compatibility, buy the steel rim reissues which has the standard 46mm filter thread while you will need to use the lens hood or third-party accessories for installing a filter with Pre-ASPH V2.. However, if filter compatibility is the priority, I would just buy the first 35mm summliux ASPH (pre-FLE) for the better build quality. I have briefly owned the steel rim reissue but ended up with returning it. I like the overall images but I just cannot stand the build quality. My copy was built after 06/2023 with slightly improved quality control but still have an aperture ring that wobbles slightly. The main reason I returned the lens is the focus ring which is stiff and non-linear. The infinity lock made it worse. I am totally OK with the infinity lock on my 35mm summicron 8 element as well as LLL's copy of the same lens. While whole focus mechanism on the 35mm summicron 8 element was so smooth, I don't think Leica knows how to make a smooth transition between the locked state and unlocked state anymore. Maybe I have a bad copy of steel rim remake but I don't think my impression is unique. And this is not my first time having issues with the modern built Leica lens. I tried a 35mm f1.4 FLE II in a Leica store and the aperture ring was kind of lose. Nowadays, I always do my research on the build quality of Leica lenses before I buy them or just simply avoid buying Leica lenses. Instead, all the Vogitlander lenses I have owned were built perfectly at a fraction of the cost.

It’s crazy… I’m following a lot of film photographers and always enjoyed watching them. Like 3 days ago I found your channel and I can only say WOW! All other film photographers are amateurs compared to you. And I say this, even though I really do enjoy watching their videos. You’re just on an other level. Hope to see more vlog style videos. There’s just so much to learn from you. Would be great if you could do more videos of like how you meter, how you approach taking pictures, how do you develop and scan film, how do you edit it? Also orders my first 30.5m roll of fomapan 400.

a fully mechanical xpan sounds like a no brainer. It would sell so well, just dort see why hasselblad doesn‘t do it. maybe they just don’t want to produce fully mechanical cameras anymore.. ?

First off - as always, beautiful pics. The intra-roll aspect change is absolutely magnificent. Totally with you “remake, but 100% mechanical”. Best 2 reasons to not beat 9-years-ago-Jeremy up; the 1500-2000 you probably sold it for then got you tools you needed more at the time, and if it had bricked itself a year or two later you’d never have come back to it last year…

There used to be a fomapan 800

Nice nice review on the XPAN and using it for the year. Also nice you that were inspired by Gilles Peress “Whatever you Say, Say Nothing’, it’s a wonderful book and in addition to Gilles incredible photographs, credit is also due to Yolanda Cuomo for the wonderful layout and design; she is a master of design.. see her design work also with Matt Black’s book (who also sometimes used a wide pano format)

Hey Jeremy, I really like all the photos you create. Do you publish them anywhere?

Well said! This was a great video.

The fact that you can switch aspect ratios is crucial like you said. The X-Pan when done right just hits differently. Great images throughout.

oh shit, it's here LOL

Hi Jeremy, other than the heft and bulk, how does the nikkor 80mm lens on the makina compare to the pentax 67's 105 f2.4 lens?

Algorithm is doing me dirty. I changed from subscribed to the all button, so I don't miss anything. Great mix of video and still film photos. Catching up on the rest of your vids.
