All I know from personal experience is that the 75mm Summilux is a gem, and its 0.70m minimum distance is a godsend in a lot of circumstances (think interior details, flowers, intimate face ...

Fun one trick poney!

i have extensively used both. For portraits, both bring superlative results, with a small advantage to the rendering of the 135mm, which is sensational (perfect bokeh, wonderful transition from ...

one flaw in one camera (returned), another flaw in its replacement (repaired).

Cute!

I had two things go wrong at purchase, which I know from forums can happen randomly, and would advise you to check at the shop (as you are wisely buying from a local dealer): 1. First M10 I ...

Very nice pictures in this set, showcasing both the great quality of the Q and the perspectives expected from the angle of view of a 28mm lens on a FF capture device. I guess one can quite rapidly ...

Indeed....:)

Fair enough, though DPR commentary on one’s experience with a piece of gear does not necessarily require a photo essay to “prove the point”. it is a cumbersome exercise to post pics here (choose ...

i have been using the CZ 1,4/35 ZM lens for close to a year now, bolted onto a Leica M10. I own and still use a 35mm Summicron-Asph since the late Nineties. That well calibrated and maintained ...

As others said, 28mm is the standard smartphone angle of view. So, pics with this beauty will be exactly the same as iPhone pics, with better technical quality (slightly more resolution, more...

This is the only thumb rest option that does not hog the hot shoe. The “foldable” thumb rest is not a bad idea in itself. To make it look like a M2/3/P film advance lever is a fun wink to the...

Yep, @Yake, the viewfinder has been improved, which, within the Leica M family tree, can be counted as innovation. The optional EVF was also improved compared to M240 generation (before that, M8...

Depends how you look at it really. Your argument is valid from a given point of view.

On the other hand, the Leica M range manages to continuously refine a very unique experience that speaks to...

The main selling points of the GR design (analogue and digital) were:
1. Immensely pocketable fully featured high quality build integrated camera (no accessories required) - the only APS-C camera...

Perfect combo!

Really enjoyed the V1 and some of the lenses. I stopped investing in the system relatively early as it felt under-supported after the first big bang launches (stuff shown as prototypes on launch...

Like many, I used and loved Pentax SLRs in the film age (MX, LX and SFX). I tried a K7 back in 2009 but had by then already sold off my K legacy lenses and did not want to invest in their...

Apart from the Leica SL, this is the only mirrorless body that handles as well as a very good DSLR. It has the optimal size, weight, ergonomics and feature set for Fuji's "pro" zooms and larger...

Top IQ FF lenses are getting heavier and heavier, and this one’s weight will be prohibitive for many users. At 1.6kg, it weighs considerably more than a Zeiss Milvus 135mm f/2 (1.1kg) or a Nikkor...
