Haha so funny and relatable with the slip of aperture. On set I was sure my gaffer was playing games with me by dimming all the lighting gradually.. then I found out it was the lens playing games 😂
@@HiddenOaksMedia i plan on building out a smaller summilux and including the v2. But that’s a good question, I think I’ll do a comparison between the two soon.
@@KevinReyesDP I'd love to watch the comparison video asap..! Right now I have a opportunity to purchase either Leica R 19mm v1 or v2 and I'm torn between them. I thought you're building a set with serial no of 290xxx - 320xxx, does that mean 19mm v2 is a bit new for a set like that? I wonder if the color of 19mm v2 match other Leica R lenses with serial no of 290xxx - 320xxx.
Moddings I'm going to do when I get mi set. 1) Simrings and front caps. 2) Follow focus gears. 3) Ef simmount and rear cap. I know I should declick the aperture, but I don't mind it.
If you’ve used a summilux set, would you say personally that it’s worth having both lux and crons? I’m torn about it. The 35 and 80 in particular. Would love to see some comparisons on your channel
I’ve read a lot about summilux, having 1.4 would be awesome for sure, but from what I’ve read the summicron optics are superior. Not sure if it’s true, nonetheless I’d still love to own the lux’s. But prices are way too high for it to make sense as a good investment for me. I’d rather get some proper PL cine glass.
Big fan of Simmod's Products and have purchased SO much from them...BUT Don't expect to get them in a reasonable amount of time...gotta get use to playing the long game. Hopefully they figure out a better workflow
I’m afraid that’s the case with almost every manufacturer dealing with the impact of a global pandemic. I’m sure they’ll catch up once shortages shore up.
I believe it’s for the character in creating a pseudo filmic cinematic look that can’t be replicated with some of the more modern lenses with modern coatings. It’s a creative choice and decision as all filmmakers should make that’s best for the production.
Hey guys! Which lenses do you want to mod and which mods are you going to do? Comment below!
The best Leica R Cine mod introduction video on RUclips. Thank you.
No problem! So glad it helped 🙏🏽
Heck yeah! Bought some Leica Rs after seeing your first Leica R video. Love your content, bro! Keep up the good work!
My guy! Your leicas are beautiful
@@KevinReyesDP thank you 😊

Have you used these with a speed booster ? If so, what was the greatest disadvantage using one? Great content, thanks!
Just won a 35mm f2 summricon right after watching this lol. Thanks for all your knowledge to help me understand which series to buy
Nice bro :) awesome kit
are the lens cap your own custom design?
Congrats on getting back your stolen Komodo, Kev.
Thanks man! Crazy story
Interesting video, thanks.
Why did you get both 19mm v1 or v2? Also which one do you prefer? Are you gonna keep both?
Did it feel good to say you have both 19s lol
Thanks for the video Kevin
Yes, yes it did hahah
@@KevinReyesDP when would you use the V1? I have a V2 on the way, thank god

Good! Can you post all these Leica R lens follow focus gear measurements here? thank you!
Where to get those lens caps??? they are so cool
yes my dad joke made it. my Leica R’s are current en route back to me. took like a week! wish i knew about the aperture link fixture last week
Nice! You’ll love them. And don’t sweat the link fix. Wait a few years until they start creeping.
Finally!!!!!!! A new video
Haha been crazy busy!

Hey man! How do you adapt these to your bmpcc 4k? Speed booster?
Yeah
@@KevinReyesDP awesome! what speed booster do you like to use most? I really love the image you get from your bmpcc 4k/ leica combo.
Zero Optiks does full rehousing. If you have Leica R, then don't rehouse. Save the money and get a proper cine glass like Irix etc.
Right on, yeah that’s probably the right call
leica R lenses are not that good at all compare to M I do not know why many people like the R lenses. it even bigger than M lenses
