How do we figure out if an M4P is an earlier version?

I don't believe that you mentioned that you can use 46mm filters or step up from 46 to whatever filters. Also, the 2 stop backlight compensation switch I believe wasn't mentioned, which is very nice to have and works great ! I have 4 of these and obviously love them ! LarryMac

remove battery of leica m6

thanks:)

I’ve got both of these. Thinking about selling the L35AF. It’s in MINT

I think I would rather shoot panoramic images on 35mm film in my RB67 instead of in the Horizon/Widelux or the Hasselblad Xpan panoramic cameras.

Also the M4-P is half the price of an M6, and made by Leitz in Canada

I think it isnt better. All is about price. It is like i said Leica m3 is better becouse You can go for a little compromise to get in to Leica system and forget about rapid loading, 35mm frames and sometime selector if it is older version. The best about Leica m3 is it was made like "fit to adjust" not replace if it broke like in M4P and the true is... M4-P really can be in bad condition. Same like Leica m3 and M6 ;) Like i said all it is about the price ;) Cheers. I really like Your Video ;)

Thanks for your video. It's quite nice and Simple. I loved it.

Thank you

I dunno anything about cameras but that guy look kinda hot tho

Interesting how everybody got their own fav Leica. For me, they are M-A or M7.

Camera with miss focus often is a no good camera , look at the IQ both equally my choice is definitely the nikon l35af not only 1/4 -1/5 price of Ti 35 nikon but better focus as well .

Years ago when I was shopping for a Leica 35mm M-mount film camera, I narrowed by chice to an M2, M6, and MP. I had eliminated the M1 because it did not have a built-in rangefinder. I had eliminated the M3 because it did not handle 35mm focal length lenses well and the first lens I planned on buying was a 35mm f/1.4. I had eliminated the M5 because I did not like its larger size. I had eliminated the M7 because it had too much electronics for my taste. However, based on this video, I cannot remember why I eliminated the M4.

screwing in a screw into plastic, to strengthen the plastic, must be one of the weirdest ideas i have heard in a long while … 😅

nee-kon; pronounce nee-kon please...

For me, price is a huge concern. The fact that the L35AF is typically 1/10th the price of the 35Ti, is a huge plus. The collectability of the 35Ti make it an unreachable option for many on tight budgets or who are only occasional film photographers.

Have you ever had issues with the S3 having an overexposed band at the beginning of the frames sometimes?

Loved all the images from the horizon, especially the ones at the fair. Very nice!

Hi, has anyone tried a Nikon TW Zoom 105? Part of the Zoom Touch series from the mid 1980s and 1990s.

I had both the M4-P and the M6 for several years. For me the M4-P didn't have any practical advantage whatsoever. Not having to resort to an external meter with the M6 was godsend. Guesstimation and sunny 16 works more often than not but you will inevitably loose shots and miss precious moments where blown/blocked highlights and empty shaddows arent fun at all. I you're serious about the results discussing disadvantages of the M6 is just talk about sour grapes. There isn't anythings besides irrelevant details which you probably never notice when unsing them side by side, you just don't want to spent the money, end of story. Which doesn't mean the M4-P isn't a nice camera in its own right. I still have and love an M4.

They are different also in the shooting angle: 120° for the horizon and 90° for the hasselblad. I've got a old horizon from the '60, I agree with you, praise for imperfection with the soviet one.

First to the Horizon camera It's cheap because it's an entry level swinging lens camera, the high end with focusing, aperture settings and many speed settings with a sturdy construction is the Noblex that's much more expensive than the plastic Horizon. The Rolls Royce for this kind a camera is the Swiss Roundshot. With the Horizon you can have a strait horizon line, but you have to place it level and exactly in the middle of the frame (like what you have to do with a current fisheye lens). The biggest caveat of a swing lens cameras is the "rolling shutter" effect you have with moving subject, with heavy unpredictable distorsions. They can be used creatively, but its a niche use for a camera. The swinging lens geometrical effect is not unique, it's the same as what you get with multiple shots on a panoramic tripod head, with stitched scans. The X-Pan or Fuji TX It's a unique camera because it can mix panoramic and normal frames on the same film, as you want it. When travelling the X-Pan as an only camera with the 3 lenses in little bag does all you want. When a subject does not fit nice in a panoramic frame, you switch without delay to normal, without loosing film. You also can freeze movement, what a swinging lens cannot. Last but not least, it produces a natural orthoscopic image, not a cylindrical projection like the swinging lens. Horizon and X-Pan are basically so different with totally different uses that imo they can be used by the same photographer depending on what he want to do.

Great video. I would love to see your developing process just getting into film myself 👊

No point with the lens hood as the lens already vignettes on its own.

I really like your feelings about the horizon I shoot some with a Kodak panagram and really like the effect as well as the lumber graphic 360 spinner I agree with what your feelings are and I think you're doing some good work enjoy it

I have widelux F8, mine has some problem. the knob which locks the cameraback(film room cover) is not fixed but easely turned into "UNLOCK" while shooting. so, from time to time, the comeraback is accidently detached and filmroom is opened. I wanna know only mine has above problem or other F8 has same problem,and how I fix it?

Wow, that Plaubel Makina is a special camera, fairly rare and prohibitively expensive. I accept his appreciation of his Yashica 124G, but there are so many other and better TLRs out there.... I'm mainly into Pentax 67 myself. I don't agree with his love of the 105mm lens, but he is right about the camera. After the bombs drop and the dust settles, the only thing left will be cockroaches, and they will be shooting the Pentax 67.

Nice job. From me who has spent more time studying the Nikon 35Ti, let me offer a few more points; The 35mm 2.8 lenses are not only similar, they are very probably identical. The lens is one commonly used by Nikon on several of their other, more substantial cameras, and it is very good - professional quality. The focusing systems: they are both active infrared systems and work the same way. The 35Ti has a more modern version which probably uses more focus points, so is likely to be more accurate, but the difference is probably unimportant. His issue with focus failure on the 35Ti is likely to be, in my experience, a user error, not the camera. The focus spot in the finder is very precise, and it is easy to intend to focus on a subject but accidentally put the spot on something at a different distance. The metering: The L35AF uses a traditional center-weighted system, common to most cameras of its era. The 35Ti uses Nikon's computerized matrix metering system, which Nikon invented in the early 1980s. It is extremely accurate and can resolve a correct exposure in even the most damning situations. That said, the functional difference for a P-n-S camera is almost nill. The 35Ti has a vast list of user customizing functions, but they are buried in multi=layer menus, behind (as he noted) one of the most user-unfriendly systems ever put on a camera - they never get used. I share his conclusion: buy a L35AF; buy two of 'em and put one away for when the first breaks down. (They say there is no crying in baseball. Well, there are no repairs for these puppies.) So. did I put my money where my mouth is? Not exactly. 25 years ago I bought a 35Ti and a Contax T2. I shot 'em for a month, ran lens resolution test charts (very nerdy) - the works. Then I kept the Contax (which I still have), sold the Nikon 35Ti. Why that choice? The Contax T2 is just an easy camera to use, and the 35Ti is an ergonomic whore. And I'm no Nikon hater. My entire (and vast) assembly of 35mm SLR equipment is Nikon, and I started out assuming that the 35Ti was "it"..

Great video. After watching this, I bought the earlier version of the Leica M4-P with the brass top plate and recessed windows. Thanks1

Just picked up the nikon l35af yesterday for 5$ at savers talk about score

My dude got an actual lenshood on the 35AF, dedicated man!

❤️

Just watched your video on the 35ti vs the L35 and I'm now finishing this one up. My contax TVS recently broke so I'm in the market for a new point and shoot and you brought up an amazing point on babying the camera vs. not. I find myself in general just being very rough with the cameras that I own (something I definitely need to work on haha) but having something more rugged that can actually take somewhat of a beating is important. Especially if the photos are going to come out this sharp, I thought I needed all the bells and whistles but I think simplicity is really the way for me. Anyway, thank you for helping me decide on the L35! Subbed!

Love the photos! You’re wild for touching that carpet though😂

Nice camera combo! I have similar combo as well! Thanks for the video.

Youre such a genuine guy. Love that!

ok, i believe you, let me get a m4p.

At this point, the Xpan is absolutely overhyped. Great camera, but the price is crazy. The photography work of Jeff Bridges with the widelux is the reason I choose that camera over the Hasselblad, and I'm very happy with that choice.

Thank you! I really loved this video. My favorite camera is my Horizon Perfekt and I have been looking for videos on others that are using this camera.

The hasselblad xpan is this overpriced, but perfect panoramic camera. Most people use it like an everyday camera shooting portraits and day to day scenes, of the streets and what not, and these people have no idea what they are doing. Again, its a panoramic camera, not an everyday every purpose camera, its as specific as a camera can be, much like a big focal length or a zoom lens is to a camera, its not the thing you’re going to use everyday and for every subject, you’re better off with a 50mm for a 35mm camera, a 80 for 120, 90 for LF… If you know how to use it and with the proper subject matter, you cant be wrong with the xpan. The ability to use the zone focus precisely to create some panorama pictures is such a must have, and mostly the reason why people desire it. It allows for more creativity, blurring that background and creating one of a kind type of images, if not fine art pictures really. The horizon and its swing lens is imperfect and allows for an easier artistic touch in the pictures, atmospheric indeed, i think the word you used suits it perfectly, but the major bummer is the lack of zone focusing… you can try to get it done using the various apertures, but it lacks precision, requires a lot of experience and study, eventually calculating the distance from the subject, but more often than not its going to be blurry and a fail… If i could afford the xpan, i would totally go for it, again, the precise zone focusing it has makes it the better out of the two, it has way more creativity range than the horizon, and very precise. But if you think 4 or 7k is too much to create panoramas, indeed, the horizon is better suited, if not the best and most affordable on the market. If i may, most people who use panoramic cameras dont know what they are doing, they put the subject in the center, they shoot in confined spaces, and overall use it as a day to day camera, and these ways of using a panoramic camera cannot be more wrong i think.. If you take a look at a master of photography using a panoramic camera, you will easily understand what im talking about. Go check the unprecedented work of Josef Sudek and his use of the legendary now cannot be found kodak panoramic 5. It had a swing lens, it was a medium format panoramic camera, producing 30x10 centimeters negatives, bigger than anything we can find today, and it had zone focusing in the likes of the horizon, so very approximative regarding the focusing, but precise in its mechanism. The negatives even back then had to be cut out of large format paper negative.. It didnt have any proper range finder, even for composing, so careful planning needed to be done, eventually metering the distance for some shots, even though most of his work show all in focus panoramic views but if you’re into panoramas, Sudek is a must study photographer. I cannot think of anyone else who used the panoramic format as best as he did. With that being all said, there is actually another option, a little bit more expensive than the horizon s3 pro, but much cheaper than an xpan hasselblad, and it is simply a custom panoramic camera body, that allows you to use 120 rolls of film, and a large format lens of your choice. You can take a look at Malefic 6x17 or 6x12 medium format cameras. Though i never used one of those custom panoramic bodies, I’ve seen the quality of the images, and it is incredible if you want to dedicate yourself to panoramas. It may actually be the best out of all panoramic cameras, including the xpan for the fact that right off the camera you get a very large panoramic negative. And anyways, great video comparing these two cameras, i recently got myself one of those horizon s3 pro, which i am yet to use but its the best option to go along with other cameras in the backpack !

nice video, just wondering, your sample photos are really good, but how did you meter the light? or you were just guessing? or you used a light meter?

The Nikon 35Ti is a piece of crap. Heavy Horrible ergonomic Super slow autofocus Missfocusing Huge shutter lag Can not accept filters Can not accept hoods

Would reaaaaally love to see that Pentax 6x7, Plaubel Comparison 😊

Do you have to shoot the Horizon on a tripod because of the swing?

Can this guy be any slower?

hey what film stock did you use for the L35?

Your arguments are specious. Brassing is an indication of cheap paint, not a desirable feature, otherwise Leica would make them with no paint. I have a late model M4-P with a zinc top plate and black chrome finish, much more durable and lighter too. So, what are all of these "secrets"?

I am fortunate to have both cameras and the same 28 mm lens. That was a very informative and well done presentation. RS. Canada
