To everyone online saying Zeiss lenses are clinically sharp, but haven’t actually used these ZM lenses, no they’re not, check this out. Fantastic photos.
@@arrangearrange 🙏🏼 thank you
Recently picked up an OG SL as a budget replacement for my Q, which became riddled with dust spots. So nice to be able to self-clean the SL sensor glass.
Content is sooooo much better than a fancy setup. I LOVE your content and how real you are. Very nice wedding photos. The couple had an amazing idea, and you delivered. Much respect.
Hey I really appreciate that! I don’t consider myself a fancy person, so that’s good to hear. Glad you liked the photos 🤘🏼
I absolutely agree with your points about not always using wide-open fast glass. I primarily use Fujifilm cameras these days and mostly with the f/1.4 primes. Since the Fujis allow for 1/32000 of a second shutter speeds with the electronic shutter, I often use f/1.4 even in bright sun utilizing selective focus even if it might not be the best choice... just because I can.
I got the XF 27mm f/2.8 pancake lens which because of the crop factor only gives the equivalent selective focus potential of a 40-ish mm lens at f/4.2. So not enough selective focus to make it clear that that is the point.
So I started shooting more in the middle of the aperture ring and suddenly my photos looked different. Mostly everything was in focus and I couldn't use blur to hide ugly things, so I had to think in terms of foreground, middle ground and background. And I had to move to assure that nothing distracted from my subject. I know all of this, but I have been so spoiled by that ability to blow out the background that I had been getting myopic in my approach.
Shooting at moderate apertures has given my photography a different look.
Thanks so much for your perspective, glad you found a different way to shoot using variable apertures.
I shot with the 27 for a while and couldn’t get the hang of it to save my life, glad you could get it.
Thanks for taking time to watch and your comment. Thanks for the sub!
Great photos as always! I love the creative shots you came up with. I think the lens at 2.8 really accentuates your environmental portraits!
Thanks man, I think it’s definitely helpful!
The creativity you used with those shots are absolutely amazing!! 👏👏
Thank you for that, I’m glad you think so. Which was your favorite?
Thanks for the sub and the comment 🙏🏼
This is my dream combination!!!
It is a great one. I have a new video coming out with a new 28mm lens for Leica
Not sure if you have an m body, but now you have a great excuse to buy a monochrom. It pairs so well with the sl system.
lol I’ve had one, sold it. Regret it, will get another one
Awesome work as always!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for the review.
I do not have a 28mm for my Leica rangefinders, but I do have a 28mm f/2.8 Zeiss Biogon for my Contax G1 rangefinder and a 28mm f/2 Zeiss Distagon for my Nikon F SLR. Great lenses!
Thanks for watching!
Great images. You’re absolutely right about a limitation pushing you to do better - think more creatively rather than just blowing the background every time 👍
Thanks as always for watching
Now I feel like going on a plane to NYC soon. Thanks man. Awesome work 👏
Doooo it, so worth it. Thanks so much and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
I bought this lens 2nd hand a week ago and I’m very pleased with the results on my M-10R. It’s small, the images are sharp, nice lens for the outdoor photography.
It’s definitely a great lens. I don’t think I’ve shot on another M mount that’s so sharp other than the 28 summilux
Superb pictures ! 👌
Thank you so much. I am really glad you took the time to watch and comment! Thanks for the sub!
Your composition is just amazing
Thank you very much!
You really deserve way more views. Your work is amazing. I got the 18mm (28mm) 1.4 from fuji because of you and your photos lol
I’m glad I could help you decide on a lens, I live for that. I wish more people subbed to my channel too 😂 it just takes time. Thanks for your sub man and thank you for saying those nice things 🤙🏼
Follow me instagram!
great video mate!! soo many good example photos!
You getting this 28mm now?
@@hunterhart1 just doing my research! 😉 I knew this video wouldn’t disappoint
このレンズを購入したくなりました🎉
I like this concept man. I might pick up a manual vintage lens to go out and do this!
Try it out. What camera would you use?
Manual lenses aren’t necessarily vintage. All M mount and Zeiss ZE, ZF and ZM are modern yet manual focus.
the 10 blades also give you great sunstars!
Amen
Awesome. I’ve been looking at picking up a SL, SL2, SL2-s over a Q3. Other then the price of the SL what made you choose the SL over the other options?
It came with 5 lenses, that was the big deal for me. It has the same sensor as the original Q. I’d go Q3 over any SL because it’s going to hold its value but I have several interchange lens cameras so it wouldn’t kill me to not have the SL.
love the NYC photos! how have you found the colors on the Leica? looks like you have your presets pretty dialed in
Thanks man. I enjoy the colors, I shot on the Q for about 5 years so I kind of was used to this sensor. I think with every sensor they just just need a bit of tweaking is all.
This lens tends to be more on the magenta side however, something I have to get used to. Should have mentioned that.
@@hunterhart1 cool makes sense, looks great man!
Amazing pics! It’s somewhat refreshing to see good photography on RUclips. I use a Nikon z8 with a 50 summilux but I’ve been wondering which 28mm to get. This video has given me some guidance, especially after zeiss announced they’ll stop making photography lenses.
Thanks so much for your compliment! I hope I can keep bringing you good work! As far as which 28mm to get, are you wanting M mount lenses or Auto Focus lenses? Thanks for watching.
@@hunterhart1 I prefer manual focus lenses for everyday photography, particularly m mount lenses because the lenses themselves and adaptors are relatively small. I find that manual focusing gives me a similar “don’t just take whatever picture” experience that you get shooting film.
@@lucarondon have you tried any of the voigtlander lenses
@@hunterhart1 yes, but not M mount. My analog setup is a Nikon F6 and I shoot mostly with a Voigtlaender 40mm f2. Beautiful lens: very small (for an f mount lens) very sharp with some character. Adapted F-mount lenses on Z bodies are still very large, so I’d rather adapt M mount lenses.
These photos came out amazing. If only more couples were open to letting us photographers be creative lol
Hey thanks so much for the compliment. And I completely agree, I feel so at ease when I can just run free instead of having a strict schedule. Good things in life happen when ya let it.
awesome photos! i just wondering where can buy that lens hood???
I actually found it on eBay! Thanks so much for watching!
Nice video. What is the little ring you have on top of your filter?
It was part of the lens hood that I had but I disliked the lens hood and like the way it looked like this!
Yo! I have this lens and looooooove it. Do you find any purple color shift on the sides when shooting on the SL?
I personally cannot say I have. I guess you’re experiencing that?
@@hunterhart1 Yeah I can't get rid of it on my SL2-S - doing some research today and have found Zeiss's recommended selected profiles for M cameras, but the same profile set doesn't seem to help in the SL2-S. What profile do you use in camera on the SL? I would loooooove to be able to confidently use this on the SL
Do you misse / loss some Dynamic Range compared to the 50S ?
Thanks man ;)
Honestly, haven’t really had any issue but I haven’t pushed it a ridiculous amount either. It seems fine to me. I think as long as you expose correctly you’d be surprised how much you can bring back with older sensors.
@@hunterhart1 I had an XT2 and the DR was too limited to me (I'm a DP / cameraman and I'm used to have a bit more DR).
50R is incredible on this part (hard to clip anything if you expose right and you are at 400iso).
Would love to have a "lighter / 24x36" still camera, but 50R DR is something that I don't want to miss :)
Which adapter is that?
