Happy to help Matt! Can confirm also that the shoots are really as fun as they look and even better. You always bring a lot of positive and inspirational energy which the photos reflect!
Thanks Thomas, I need to give you a new job title. Awesome video guy and PR man! 🙏🏻😆
Sounds inspirational , I have to admit ... Matt is having a wonderful time , he is a natural with women ... Admirable.
Great video, your photo shoots aways look like fun, stunning photos of the models.....
Thanks! Yes! That's why I enjoy it so much. Model photography is a blast.
The photo at 7:24 is so helpful! I always want my lenses to have a little veiling in these backlit situations, but not too much. This picture tells me that the Elcan replica gives a really nice amount of that.
Thanks, yes I really like this lens
Photos look great! Nice models and shots and the lens certainly delivers also.
Thanks!
Hi Matt. Looks like a lovely lens & the photos are beautifully done. I noticed you have the Wotancraft Pilot camera bag. Wonderful camera bags that are understated & do not draw a lot of attention. Best wishes.😊
Thanks Jeffrey, yes I love their bags, I made 2 videos about them. I use a few different ones.
Fantastic work!
Thanks Scott!
Huge fan of this lens for a few years now. It's amazing, sharp and enough for film and the character isn't over the top, just right IMO.
Yes! I love it too. Great lens
Thanks for the video.
Love the 50mm for full-length and environmental portraits.
Even though I do not have a 50mm for my Leicas, I do use 50mm lenses on my SLRs.
Thanks, yes great!
Great video Matt and enough great samples to see the beauty of that lens. I must say thst the film images shot with the M are superb and I wonder why you use the SL for digital (superb camera no doubt) and not a M like a 10 or so .
Anyways , good video, interesting stuff, keep up the good work.🎉
Thanks Rob! SL - ease of use I think
This is an interesting lens. It was a banner lens when Leitz Canada first made it. And now LLL has brought it back for all to see and some to buy. Of all the lenses out there this has the best price/performance ratio. For your needs it is ideal. And while I am very tempted I already have some good lenses. What I need is the talent as my wallet can easily outperform my talent. Not because I have a big wallet, either. Maybe Santa will have one under the tree for me. I'll start my list today.
Thanks for another great video and another great review. Cheers
L8R - Curses, the discount code link does nothing. I get a shopping basket at full retail. You are a very bad influence on me, Matt. No more ploughman's lunches for you. LOL I'll have to wait for a sale on it.
I have a similar set of problems (worse, actually, as I live in the USA and LLL won't sell to us directly... only through their dealer, Popflash, which lists this lens as "call for price" -- usually a bad sign.) I know Matt is crazy about this lens and I'm sure it's wonderful... but I have to ask myself whether it's an additional $800 worth of wonderful vs. the 50/1.5 Nokton I've already paid for. I also know Matt didn't like the Nokton but can't remember whether it was something specific or just left him feeling "meh"...
Hi Sandy, yes great lens. There should be a discount. I’ll email you
cool!! reminds of my the v1 of the 50mm cron-r
Yes! Also a great lens!
This lens does look quite nice and small. The mtf suggests performance at f2 suffers but it seems like it’s suited to female portraiture at f2 - but maybe not other use cases.
Thanks! Yes f2 on digital, f2.8-4 on film for me. I like a less modern look so it works perfectly for my needs.
If I will guess from the theme that it is going, maybe the LLL 35mm 8 Element on the SL?
It's good to see there is a glimpse of comparison between the LLL Elcan and your Summarait, as it is now my favorite lens at the moment; while at 1.5 it is painterly soft, I do found it a bit too soft in many use case for portrait and ended up shooting at f/2 most of the time. You mentioned that you mostly shoot the Elcan at 2.8, but from the sample, even f/2 looks pretty good comparing to the Summarit!
LLL offerings always spark my interest, but I am patiently waiting for the price on the second hand market to come down, I just can't pull the trigger on it at full price for a replica lens when other vintage are at the same price if not cheaper. Great video as always, Matt!
Thanks yes sharper than DR, Summarit, Summitar (and smaller). I like it
Can’t wait to get my hands on one. I need one for my Leica IIIg
Yes Wei! Great combo!
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom I think I should get it before Christmas
Hello Matt✌
Absolutely great video and mega shots👌 I'm not really into modelling, in the past the interest was even greater but in the meantime the area of interest has changed. As far as the lenses are concerned, I certainly don't know them and they're not so common here. I would very much like to continue using my old lenses from the 1940s, on the one hand the Biotar Red T 2/5.8cm from 1946 / Primoplan Red V 1.9/58mm from 1951, both are M42 only for the M3 etc not usable on digital as I have them on the Sony.
Lg Anderl
Thanks! Great lenses! Yes use those :)
Matt what lens hood are you using that I see in a couple of the camera images? Wonderful images as always...
Hi, I know we've already spoken.. it's the LLL 35mm f2 8E hood
Haha, we have the same taste for lenses, and for models. Just got my copy
Congrats!
Last shots on M3 in available light , I think the Best in that large space / structure. The skin and the texture and light fall are beautiful. Ah humble man I , doubt ever get a chance to shoot beautiful women ... but to shoot the people that pull in the fish , the families of the Fishing Villages , The fellow travelers on there Fast Ferry out of Saigon ... The streets intimate at night. I have done a little of this. For an Old man of 63 ... I think is pretty good , ELKAN seems to be a good lens. I will examine it. Still loving my 55mm F4 Distagon in the Rollei , and the 50mm DR matching numbers set Summicron. I even have the clam shell carry case for lens and goggles. That case is magic , I recommend that Leica Case.
Like I said ; the last was so lovely , just that light.
Thanks Chris, treat yourself to a workshop if you want access to the best models, where ever you live. Yes nice lens and yes loved that shoot. Full video to come from that day so you’re in luck! My DR googles are in a leather tube. Elcan is sharper than DR. See first video.
The Chinacron 😂
Great lens! (The Chinalux is amazing too!)
Dopamine OD. GAS and gorgeous laughing girls ....
It's a tough job, but someone has to do it...😂
Haha thank you!
Thanks for this review. What can you say compared to Summarit-M 50 f2.8?
I sold my Summarit M modern version but it is slightly sharper at wider apertures. Elcan is smaller I think (hence don’t need Summarit)
Just ordered this lens but wish you have presets for Capture one. Not everybody use light room.
Congrats! Yes so sorry. If I ever use Capture One I will make some presets.
Thanks for the video. Why do you avoid shooting at f2 on film but not on digital?
Thanks, soft lenses are great on digital (easy to sharpen in post). Sharper lenses better on film. f2 is softer.
Would you prefer the rendering of the sonnar 50f1.5 or the Elcan f2?
I own both and use both. At f2 the Opton Sonnar wins for me, esp. on film where I like more sharpness.
Hey Matt, I have Carl zeiss lens for Contax N1, but i want to put them on a Yashica FX Super 2000. I cant find an adapter for them, can you suggest anything?
Hello, sorry i've never used those lenses or cameras so you might need to ask someone that knows. Check eBay for any adapters.
Hey Matt! What film stocks are you using these days?
I’m still mostly using up old stock (mix) but I bought some Kentmere 400 recently.
How does it compare to the Zeiss Planar 50 f2?
The 50mm Planar renders differently, I show it briefly in the Voigtlander 50 APO video
This looks like a nice lens but I have more 50mm lenses than any human needs. Wonder how this lens would compare to the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm 1.5? I have that one and rarely use it. Still waiting for you to send me some victims/models 😅
The Nokton looks amazing but was too soft in the mid zone for me. Pity as it looks good.
@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom I look soft in the mid zone too. I need to start cycling again. 🤣
Hi Matt - just about to pull the trigger on an LLL Elcan... it lists a whole bunch of M cameras but not the M4 I assume that there isn't any issue putting one on an M4-2?
Great! I was at a photowalk last weekend and a saw a few of them to my surprise (I have 2 and my Patreons love them too). See link in video description. Yes no issue on M4/ variants. Enjoy!
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom thank you Matt!
I owned the Summicron 35/2 from LLL. The build is amazing the image quality is really nice but it has a problem, focus shift, shooting wide open no issue, but once stopped down to f4-5.6 within this range there’s focus shift, forward shift. Once past f5.6, the problem will go away. Not sure if this 50 Elcan has the same issue or not.
Interesting, I’ve not heard this with that lens. These lenses are based on the Leica originals so if the original had FS these should too. I’ve had no issues with film as you saw.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom oh they do have there issues , the copy of lens i received was brutal , couldn't focus , it was way way off . I purchased from pop flash photo, luckily they had another one, Tony " GREAT GUY" very understanding ... was going to ask for my money back .... but figured , i would try again . Just got it yesterday , didn't have time to play ... took one shot to see if focus square on M11 lined up and on that shot yes .. looks as if a better copy now . But to the point ... i think some of there lenses may have issues . get thru that and should be fine.
@@pnk4444 thanks and sorry to hear. It does happen with Voigtlander, Zeiss and even Leica but hopefully not too many.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom i'm pretty new to leica , have the M11 now for 5 months , LOVE IT , best move i made , trade a whole lot of my Nikon Gear lol .. still have my Nikon z9 and 500mm fl e lens , but that's it on that end .... as for like you said .. it happens with voigtlanders and others ... i pretty much only have voigtlander lenses all seem pretty great .. question is ... if that happens with a voigtlander ? what do you do , return the lens and get a different copy ? I'm only missing a 90mm now in my gear .. was thinking Voigt. 90 , but hear there was some issue with focus shift or whatever .. what's a good 90mm USED leica ? I dont own a leica yet , maybe next year i will ..lol.. but what's a great used 90mm leica option ? Thanks and be well .. Peter
@@pnk4444 congrats (and welcome to Leica!) Normally any bad copy lenses arrive bad so just return for a good copy (any brand). The 90 Leica APO is good for f2, for portraits the pre-ASPH 90/2 (see videos) and for best all rounder Voigtlander 90 APO (my choice)
What do you like better ElCan or Voightlander Ultron?
Elcan is 50mm, Ultron is 35mm. I use the LLL Elcan for 50mm and the LLL 35/2 8-Element for 35mm. (I shoot 50mm most of the time so the Elcan gets the most use on film and on digital).
Most of my lenses have at some point needed service. How is the service possibilities for the LLL lenses?
The same as every other lens. Send to a repair guy. They are clones of Leica lenses so the build is similar.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom I usually send them to Leica don’t think they will take a clone. But after some research of LLL they seem have their own service/ repair shop 👍
