Good effort, very enjoyable and informative. Tiny point of constructive criticism, it would have been nice to have larger views of the lovely film shots, less white border, more great shots... oh and you need an analogue watch to fit with the Leica
Quality video! We’re both starting out! I really enjoyed this! I think I’m going to move from the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.2 to this. Mainly for its compact size! As the Nokton is way too big! Keep it up! Awesome stuff!
You may be new to YT but your style is good. However, when putting pix on the screen (which mean nothing at all because of YT compression) you should make the RAW files (or scans) available via a link. Then people can play with them to see what they really look like. But I'd encourage you to continue and I'm sure you'll quickly build a following (as long as you don't follow the same schtick as most reviewers (think out of the box)). Have fun...
Honestly if the lack of 40mm frame likes bothers someone because of framing accuracy then maybe a Leica is not for you, get a F3 maybe. I have this on a M3 and if I want something to be in my shot I just make sure it's in the 50mm lines.
I agree Leica really isn’t for me. I have trouble focusing it anyways since I have goof sight. I may just sell it and get the Sony fx3 to make more videos since the Leica has been sitting on my desk for 2 years now.
Hi from Japan! I’m actually considering buying the lens to shoot 35mm film on my Nikon FM3A. I’ve been looking at reviews and noticed that the lens provides a quite bit of vignette, which I thought a little unfortunate. But then I came across to your review and saw the shots from M6 don’t really have that black points in four corners while it still appears on the shots from A7. Is that because the Leica does its magic or you just cropped it when scanning? Or is it more like, the vignette goes away from certain f stop? I’d totally appreciate it if you’d share the secret! Thank you:-) PS Thanks for an awesome review. Honestly the best review of the lens out of any other ones I found on Internet. Subscribed!
Hi! Thank you for watching! So i noticed the vignette goes away the smaller your f -stop! It does have very strong vignette at f1.4 but decreases as you’re closing the aperture. I don’t know why but I do see it is more noticeable on my Sony alpha camera than when I shoot with film.
When ever I see Leica fanboys and the images they made with it, I am proven right time and time again that there is no need at all to waste so much money of an in no way superior camera. Especially analog. This thing does NOTHING that a used 50-100 bucks analog cam wouldn't do. The superior Voigtlander lenses you can get for most of the old analog mounts, so there is not even a need for Zeiss glass which in my opinion is in no way superior to the Voigtlanders. Leica is a nonsensical status symbol just like having a Mac or an iPhone. If you spend this much on an item like that, it is not "cool"/"hip" or shows that you actually "have" money (especially if you beg for a sponsorship in your video) - it only shows that you were dumb enough to fall into the branding trap and that you aim for trivial things in life to satisfy your ego.
Stoked for this channel! One recommendation would be to make the sample images larger!
yall are funny af, please keep up the videos!
Loved the review! Wish they really made more lenses like this for the Nikon mount so I could use on the pocket 4K with speedbooster
Thank you for watching! And that’s True! That would be amazing if they did! It would be such a compact set up for video !
There is a Voigtlander 40mm f2 F mount lens styled like the old Nikkor lenses

Great review. Don’t stop your channel, waiting for new videos.
Quality video!

The lens on the interview camera keep focus-hunting when you move around, turn on manual focus

Nice video. Is this mould for the finger for focusing fixed on the lense or are you able to change the position of it?
Dooooooope lens and great review! I’m thinking of getting this and popping on the Z cam, curious to see how it’ll look as a cinema lens...
Great. I have a doubt, so the Nokton 40mm automatically sets the 35mm frame lines in an M6? Or it triggers 50mm frame lines? Thanks,
If I’m not mistaking I think it’s the 50mm lines it triggers. It’s been forever since I shot with it so I forgot haha
They trigger the 50’s.

Now be honest...
Image quality from the Leica and Sony are almost identical, right? 3:17
Sony was better
Shout out to the sponsor made me follow😂😂
I’m going to buy this lens for my Leica SL . Do the cheaper adapters work well?

@@filmbox3957 Thanks a lot for your reply! Do you remenber what f stop you were at when shooting those portrait shots from 3:03?
Hreat video ... honest full of real life facts. 🙏🏼
Thanks 😊 definitely I will get it
Great review! I’m curious if I could mount it to my Fujifilm XT-2
Yes you can, absolutely ..... with an LM to Fuji X adaptor. My Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm F1.4 MC is glued to my XT4 actually. 👍
Great camera for the lucky one who can afford it.
👍👍👍👍
And the reason is, there are more sony users than leica, so more click so , sponsors 🤷🏻♂️
