It's funny. I bought a M240 recently, knowing full well I could get an A7C or XPro or Zf or whatever for the same price. Making any other choice never even crossed my mind. Meanwhile, owners of those cameras wouldn't buy a M240 at half it's current price ha. This leads to all sorts of comment wars online, especially with regards to Leica... but I just think it's awesome that we all get what we want? Great time to be a photographer.
Sounds like we have had similar experiences! I’ve been heavily using a Fuji X-T5 and an X-E4 for a while now, but I recently decided to go out on a limb and buy a used M240 and wow, what a totally different experience in a positive way. The slower manual pace, rangefinder experience, brick-like ergonomics, superb build materials, and the still absolutely fantastic photo quality have made me feel like a kid with their dad’s fancy camera. Successfully pulling off a photo that you’ve meticulously planned out for a few moments makes me feel like I earned the shot. Also, the fact that M mount lenses can easily be fitted to Fuji X have absolutely made lens investments more bearable, and mix-and-matching enjoyable.
@@Reenactor359 Haha.. totally get the dadcam feeling. It really does feel like a tool more than a camera in some ways. Very mechanical in the best of ways. I hear Leica glass on Fuji bodies makes for some amazing images, and I fully believe it. I loved my little X-E1. I hope to get an X-E3 some day. Small but fierce!
I found shooting on a Leica M camera a totally different experience to Fujifilm cameras. You cannot see in the viewfinder or the rear LCD what the effect of exposure changes (aperture, shutter or ISO) are having and the rangefinder experience cannot show you the depth of field effect at different aperture settings. For me the only way of getting a comparable experience to Fuji in full frame was the Leica Q series, but thats a fixed lens of course
I got to use the voightlander 40mm 1.2 on my Nikon zf. It’s genius how Nikon did the focusing for manual focusing. I ordered that lens and it should be here in June. I just couldn’t get used using range finder focusing myself.
Yes, and the Voigtlander should have a working zone focusing scale I hope :) Regarding eye AF Nikon ZF I've discovered a bug on Fujifilm xe3 I think that is acting like ZF - it shows a green confirmation square but without a punch in zoom ;)
As everyone knows, the practice of Photography is a highly subjective experience, and what 'ticks your boxes' may or may not do so for others. I'll start by saying that I have been shooting Nikon for decades, so that will give you some idea of where this could be going. A couple of corrections, though. One of your points was how one of the best parts about Leica is the lenses. I happen to agree. But then you recommend people get the Leica body, and then get veruous 3rd party lenses. My argument would be that if you want the Leica 'look', you really should have the Leica glass. In fact, I have an adapter that lets me use Leica M lenses (I have 3 so far) on my Nikon mirrorless bodies. Prersonally, I'd prefer an image rendered through Leica glass on a modern sensor, as opposed to a 10+ year old sensor and inexpensive Chinese glass. That said, I'll also admit I have a TTArtisan lens, an 11mm I use mostly for astrophotography for fun, nothing I'd charge clients for. Pretty nice lens for what it is. Also, a couple of times I'm pretty sure you called the Zf a DSLR. It is not. It's actually one step further away from a rangefinder system, and 'experience', but a DSLR still has an optical viewfinder. And I get your major point that you really enjoy the rangefinder shooting experience. Again, very subjective. Your mileage may vary. And one reason I do prefer Nikon over the other brands like Canon and Sony is the ergonomics... How the camera feels. So, I also get using what 'ticks with you'. Ultimately, though, the most important feature is usually image quality, so my path has been to start to get a few Leica lenses to use on my existing cameras (Z9 and Z8), and then perhaps I'll make the jump to a Leica body at some point. Unfortunately, given my aging eyeballs, I'd really prefer to have autofocus, which would require different (and of course more expensive) lenses as well, but I'll cross that bridge, or choose not to, when I get there. Cheers! -T-
Dear friend, hello! Why are you torturing and damaging your bike? Leica is undoubtedly good in the era of film photography, now there are more technologically advanced cameras. If you like Leika, buy yourself a Leika Q 3 and the issue will be closed. If you like the aesthetics of rangefinder cameras, shoot with the Fujifilm X-Pro3. Good luck!
@@SourPlanet o each his own. For example, it’s more practical for me to use an electronic viewfinder because I can immediately determine what the exposure is and what the future photo will look like.
@@ВалентинАракчеев-б7д Yeah, of course. I was just pointing out that using a Leica isn't about aesthetics of a range finder- it's about literally being a rangefinder. Fujifilm offers nothing to rangefinder users because they only offer *the surface level look* of a Rangefinder, but none of the functionality.
That actually isn't what he's saying, although some readers may interpret it as such. That said, he does talk about how he enjoys experience of shooting with a rangefinder, and if you are using something you really enjoy, as opposed to struggle with, it can improve the end product as well, if indirectly.
While all brands are working in autofocus improving, Leica is selling manual cameras 5 times more expensive than the other brands. Crazyness??? No, because they put a red logo and that changes everything for some buyers.
Also, they have no competition. They are pretty much by themselves on the Rangefinder market and somehow on the Q market as well. Unfortunately, they can ask the price they want.
If you would put your jealousness away and just try it out you would start understanding what the Leica does better than any AF camera - it's about the usage of the camera. Nowadays all cameras create good images. But an AF based photo-automat that does everything for you and only requires you to push a button which even a monkey can do will never give you the same feeling as the Leica does with the full manual experience. For me the "red logo" was never a thing of interest - if another manufacturer would put out a cheaper alternative of the cameras of the film era I'm happy to buy that too.
@@ditruter You mean because the camera doesn't power the latest and greatest bells and whistles of the buy-a-new-camera-every-year industry it should automatically be cheaper? I mean you surely know the answer don't you - it's more expensive as its a luxury item, implying that everything is handcrafted in Wetzlar Germany and stupidly highly quality controlled, built with more expensive materials then the competition. Or does your Sony/Fuji/etc. brass? Do I personally support that it's that highly priced? No. I'd also wish that more people could afford the camera system and could enjoy the more puristic photography style this offers. Btw I tried M240, M10 and am now on one of the oldest digital cameras they offer - the M9 as it powers a full frame CCD sensor.

I thought I was a confirmed xpro3 addict when not shooting film. However I got a Canon 5d mk 1 for fun and it is so good! It cost peanuts

I don’t think the m240 will depreciate much more than it has as the m9’s get harder to get a working one.

Rangefinder isn't aesthetics. It's an actual practical functional difference. Just FWIW.

You can take bad pictures with every camera. Dont think the next expensive camera will help your photography. You are betraying yourself.
