Welcome to One Lens Only!
Thomas Love here, from beautiful British Columbia where I teach Street Photography and Night Photography.
I chose to focus on one lens only, as I want you to take the best out of the camera and lens you already own. You don't need a lot of gear nor expensive cameras to obtain wonderful results with Street Photography.
Just be there and practice, go out and practice.
Let's see together how.

Do You Need The Leica D-lux 8? Let's Find Out!
Wow! Looking very good!
S-cinetone is perfect, with pics I still need to figure things out :)
Looking good!
Thanks!
The video I have been looking forward to! You should be able to use the North American wall charger with just a socket adapter, despite the European 220 v, but of course check the fine print on the charger. I used to charge my a6000 that way in Europe. But, the external dedicated chargers are nice & not too expensive. Also, you could use the enclosed cable to charge from your computer, perhaps a bit more slowly.
found out the Apple charger is the best, already has a EU plug and it's fairly fast :) thanks for the suggestions
Nice tips and great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Out of curiosity, if your friend Mister X would have had both an A7C ii and an A7CR on offer (for a reasonable price and in good condition), which would you have chosen? I ask because I find it hard to choose between the two for street and travel photography. I like the idea of being able to use the A7CR for both FF focal lengths while also bing able to crop to 1.5x APSC when needed. With the A7C ii a 1.5x APSC crop leaves "just" 15MP resolution. Not sure if that is enough
That's a great question: with my Leica Q2 I had 47MP and felt the file size was border line. I ma happy now that the a7c ii "only" has 33 because it's a good relief. The a7cr is probably overkill for my workflow. Cropping to APSc, 15MP is plenty for online use, and for regular print, too. Let me know what you are getting in the end :) and what glass
@@OneLensOnly Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Cool. I expect to be making the decision in the next three months. Upgrading from Nikon DSLR, which has served me well for many years :)
Looking forward to your journey with the a7C2!
I'm in the hands of the Italian customs
If you test it, I'd like to ask you if it's tropicalized and if it's quick to wake up. I can't wait to know if it's the camera it is about...
Probably won't have weather sealing, Leica M never had it - sorry for that
Pixii Max ?
Not yet :)
Thanks that was useful. I have the camera, it makes great 4k 60p videos in good light. I plan to try using it as travel camera.
It's a lovely little solution to many challenges, I love it and it's a bit sad they changed the form factor in newer models
Look no further than Sony RX100 VI or VII. Pocketable and long reach zoom lens with very good image quality.
Thanks, I think I had the rx100 iv and brought it with me to Iceland and to NZ :) sold it right after
I like compact cameras. I am a street photographer so I carry my camera for eight hours or more. Small and lightweight bodies are what I want and use. I like my LUMIX GX8/85/9. I like my Fuji X100T, XE1&2, and XT30. I just purchased a Sony A7C. These are full featured cameras that produce very nice images. I know some people want large and heavy bodies. I am not one of them. Mask On Nurse Marty (Marty)
Same here, stay tuned I am awaiting the delivery of my new One Lens Only :) and it's a compact body for the very same reasons
Hello & Nope! The compacts cameras are quite done. I just bought a Samsung S24 Ultra and the output from that is astonishingly good. I mostly shoot a Nikon Z8 and that mostly for video. We have a GoPro 12 for if the weather is bad or walking on uneven ground etc. Can you return the Lumix still? And on a lighter note, will you be observing Ferragosto, having already been on vacation for some time now?
That z8 was top of my list! Still, I am not getting it any time soon. I will be adopting the Alien technology instead and I'll take it from there. The Lumix will change hands end of the week, then I am scouting for a quiet place where to spend Ferragosto, far from the crowds and relative BBQs :) cheers
Background music is too loud and very distracting. Couldn't watch for more than 2 min.
Sorry about that, I turned it down to a 5% but maybe my hearing is not as good as yours :)
@@OneLensOnly I watch videos with headphones so perhaps that was the issue. I tend not to use background music for talking head videos.
Panasonic with Leica label
You say it like it's a bad thing :)
I love the a7R3 for stills, but the a7C2 with its flip out screen is great for video
Alright, I'm in :)
I hope this camera has 40mm framelines because the lack of is my frustration with Leica. I'd love to use the small Voigtlander 40mm f2.8 Heliar aspherical for my street photos without resorting to adapting it to another camera.
It probably will, I remember they added the 40mm among the choice of glasses in the Pixii I had last year, I don't see why they would get shy of 40mm in the full frame :) I'll confirm as soon as I have it in my hands. Cheers
Well done, Pixii!
I am totally fine with a lot of restrictions. After all it's a Leica now more than before. But the setting to jump between known focal lengths (and to save them) should be there, no matter what. I also don't mind no flip screen, as the camera pairs with Leica Fotos app and is remotely usable. I just found out, that the camera doesn't allow external microphones via USB or a webcam mode. This should be the most consumer camera Leica has. They should at least give those core functions any phone has today to the 8 aswell. I don't need panorama or gimmicky stuff. But it should me more of a "one for all" camera. But, as you showed, people are eager to buy this camera. So people who want certain features more won't be heard amongst the masses who just pay up and leave with the camera.
It was designed to be a second camera, it can't be the only one. I'm sure it will be a valid choice for certain users. A mini Q3 would be a game changer though
yeah I am torn too, should I or not.... but as said, an old used LX100 II is still 1000 Euro and for 500 more one can get at least a brand new model :D
I am really tempted, too, but I found for the same price a brand new Sony a7r iii - my friend would love to see me with a Sony, which is a great camera but I still don't know if I am ready to switch to Sony glasses - I'll let the idea sit there for a while and enjoy the Lumix for the moment
@@OneLensOnly I have already the A7Cr when I need resolution and various glasses. But for every day a small point and shoot with a bit of zoom…. Tempting :D
I gave it a try with the a7c ii and loved it, but still prefer the a7r iii (which I borrowed several times for shooting interiors). And Zeiss lenses of course :) I'll swing by the Leica store in a couple weeks, I'll keep you posted
Every sample photo looks out of focus!
Unfortunately UA-cam compresses files when I upload the video, the original resolution shows no troubles on any. Thanks
4000 euros ..mmm 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Reduce the camera price by half and give us a mechanical shutter, then it might just survive. But at the price they are selling and without a mechanical shutter, it’s a joke.
Hate to break it to you. The big boys already have cameras out without mechanical shutter.
@@VantaBlackhole You mean Nikon Z8-9 with a fast readout sensor or the Sony a9iii with a global shutter? Sure give us a global shutter and you can forget the mechanical shutter. But that’s not what Pixii Max has.
This company will not survive for long. Who wants to spend 1000's and most likely will not get service or spare parts after a short while from a failed manufacturer😱
Worried about a nonexistent problem smh. Most people are getting spare parts for their cameras or sending them in for service.
@@felixnicsergulden9786people pay for heritage, brands with shallow history have failed when charged premium. Take Vertu phones for example. People with money don't necessarily are mindless spenders. It's always the wannabees.
I wish that someone would make a M mount (mirrorless) EVF camera and stop persevering with this somewhat primitive outdated rangefinder system. There is a big market for such a camera.
LeicaRumors is talking about this evf M mount camera for a while now, we might really see one in the near future. Leica president didn't confirm nor deny it is a possibility
Nikon
Yes, Max is exciting. I am on the upgrade list with a date in September. I have been along for the ride since the A1571 and the Pixii has always yielded good images. The full frame will bein teresting.
I am saving some visits to Milan to give my best with the Max, assuming I will have the chance to try it soon :) a shame I don't have contacts with Zeiss in Europe as the Biogon would be a perfect match IMHO
@@OneLensOnly I have a '43 CZJ f/1.5 Sonnar, and some more 5cm Sonnars I will try along with the Cooke Amotal and some nice Canons. Max will get a workout. And David will get the bug reports along with some great early photos. All in all it looks good. Italy! Mangia, mangia, you too t'in anyway. Shoot a lot for us to see. ;o)
That's a very valuable aspect, a bugs report :) looking forward to seeing your pics!
Very nice. Seems like the sensor which is in the Nikon ZF
It really might! Can't wait to see it paired to M-mount glasses, despite some other folks are using an adapter and manual focusing M-Zeiss on the Zf leads to great results already
@@OneLensOnly oh yes it does, I tried already every leica M mount lens I have on the ZF. In love with the 35 Voigtlander :)
Focus peaking on MF is just brilliant. I didn't resolve whether I'm going for the Zf z8 or z6iii as my next Nikon
@@OneLensOnly ZF is pretty but quite a chunk of metal in size and weight. Yeah focus peaking with z mount manual lenses is surely even better. I use Megadap Sony to Z Adapter for all my stuff :)
I'm looking for a shop with all three exposed to just grab them in my hands and compare. Specs, they're all good and have some pluses and minuses of course. Zf is intriguing, ideally I would go with the z8 but the mechanical shutter is a big plus for the z6iii
Just wondering if you could test the D Lux 8 already? You asked if it has Face Detect AF or no crop for 4k video. Is it better on that front or is the 8 only new design and new Leica menu but same camera and specs?
Same old, same old. I was hoping for it to be the little Q3 people are talking about, but it's just cosmetic changes. Anyway, I am heading back to Milan in a couple weeks and I will swing by the Leica store to take it for a spin
@@OneLensOnly cool thanks.
What would I pick? Leica … Or my trusty Nikon D850
Or both :) I loved my D750 and the Q2
Yes. Sony.
Minolta :)
Try and buy a LX100 II in good shape and you will lose 1000 Euro. As the D-Lux 8 grew in size I was hoping for ISIS and tillable screen. Unfortunately nothing. I will ave a closer look at it for everyday carry
I was hoping they had a hidden something, but nothing new unfortunately. Check your auto-correct for IBIS :)
@@OneLensOnly :D ups
Are we still discussing Nikon vs Canon. 🤦♀️ it is like comparing cats vs dogs
Just for fun 😊 each and every camera is great nowadays
The camera doesn’t make the photographer.
Amen :)
Did you manage to find a way to get external audio into the Leica or do you still sync it manually later?
External recorder, but the Q3 has a mic jack :) it's a bit expensive of a fix
@@OneLensOnly Really? Where, I only have a USB-C and HDMI, no way to add an external mic anywhere, or is there a working USB adapter?
my bad, I meant the SL3. The Q is always in my head
I was really hoping a dongle would do, but of course being Leica
I have all the sensor sizes. Sony 1 in. for putting in my pants pocket. M43 for 40-150 plus tc to go EFV from 80-450mm . Also Apsc Leica CL and Fuji 40mp XH2. And several FF cameras both film and digital. My best setup is the Canon R5 and F2 28-70 and Sigma 14-28mm for landscape. FF for ultra wide makes sense since no crop factor.
It really does. What is your favourite user experience?
first
Congrats
It is now full frame, but I wouldnt buy one at all.
Don't :)
I wish Fuji would make a proper rangefinder. They have all the perfect ingredients with their leaf shutter, hotshoe, removable storage etc. Pixii being electronic shutter only is a bummer.
They might, if there's enough demand :) x-pro line is a good in-between
I know Lake Como..Mandello Del Lario…MOTO GUZZI 🦅 ❤️ 🇺🇸 🤝 🇮🇹
I visited the collection at the factory (Moto Guzzi :)
It's absurd to think Leica has had a monopoly over digital rangefinder for almost 20 years....Is the rangefinder that of a niche camera? High time some other company stepped up the plate and offered a more competitive option in the market so well done PIXII
Maybe the come back of film photography was needed to revamp interest in rangefinder cameras

I'm cool with the actual one. Thank you, Johnny. All the best
You can't really be surprised that there is no Pixii Max to be found in the wild. They probably only just received sample quantities of components and haven't started assembling cameras yet! The CEO of Pixii said in a letter (which I saw quoted on Leica Rumors) that they deliberately started taking pre-orders very early, so they could accurately estimate how much demand there would be. This is a very sensible approach… but of course once people see that they can pre-order, they start saying, “Well, where is it, then?” I’ve owned a a Pixii since November 2021, and often use it for hundreds of photos per week. I'm interested in the Pixii Max, but I'm not as excited as some people. I feel that the benefits of “FF” are somewhat exaggerated, especially considering how well the Pixii Plus's Super 35 sensor performs. The way I see it, the biggest advantage of the Pixii Max will be for people who like wide-angle lenses: the Pixii Max viewfinder will cover a wider angle of view than the Pixii Plus viewfinder. This will be of no benefit to people who mostly like normal and longer lenses (for them the Pixii Plus will still be a very nice camera at a lower price) but documentary shooters will like having a wider option. In a way it will be like the old days when Leica users had to decide whether to buy an M3 or an M2!
Pixii always had this sensitive approach, limited to the production capacity that translated in a monthly ordering limit. It just makes sense, if you don't want to produce for the stock :) ideally it goes sold out every month, I really wish the best to this company
I was looking at the Sigma FP as an platform for M lenses. It is FF and a simple L to M adapter would make using it ideal since it has many features that the Max does not have and some accessories that would be handy. First off it is tiny unless you add the 3.7 mp evf which is betterthan the Leica vf2. The camera has many Sigma color modes plus B&W, it has a hot shoe and a back lcd panel some 2mp resolution. It can do videos too, It costs about $1800 new, also 24 mp and great in low light. I wish it had PD but then using manual lenses that is not a big deal since they don't do AF.
Lumix s9, too, if you are using the L to M adapter. It's quite compact and more recent than the Sigma. But it doesn't have a VF nor a hot shoe
@@user-du9qp3fe6r Yes, if you don't care about having an optical viewfinder and rangefinder focusing, there are lots of cameras that can mount M-mount lenses. But it's a completely different shooting experience!
@@OneLensOnly All these limitations of the Max Pixii and the $4000 price are not for me. I have the Lumix S5 iix and can use the decent EVF to focus M lenses, has good IBIS, PD AF, great video. So I decided to get a very pocketable Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VA. A one lens only 24-70 Zeiss 1.8-2.8 zoom 20mp. It will fit in my trouser front pocket.
Great choices, if you look around on my channel I picked the s5iix, too, as it's great value for the money. There's some pic I took in ZK with my rx100iv, it was kinda easy but didn't keep it in the end. Now I am using a Lumix Lx15 for the long Italian summer
@@OneLensOnly SO MANY CAMERAS TOO LITTLE TIME. A MONTH AGO I GOT THE FUJI XH2 WHICH HAS A PIXEL DENSITY OF 90MP FROM THE 40MP SENSOR ON APSC FRAME. VERY DEMANDING ON LENSES. i PURCHASED THE 13MM VILTROX F1.4 FOR IT. ON APSC THAT IS EFL OF 20MM.
what about the shutter? Is it mechanical or only eletronic? I hate my eletronic shutter on my sony, so much banding indoors and movement gets jellow effect
Electronic, sir. It has some limitations. Once you are aware of them you can adapt accordingly
@@OneLensOnlyAdapt by refraining from buying it. At the price they are selling the Pixi, the lack of a mechanical shutter is a disgrace.
The only major drawbacks I've noted on my Pixii Plus are that you can't use electronic flash and that some LED lights do band… mostly slow, cheap ones (“video-safe” stage lights aren't a problem.) But of course that's the current model! We'll need to wait for the Pixii Max to get into photographers' hands to see how it handles this.
Ideally it has a fast enough readout to minimize the troubles with banding but it needs to be thoroughly tested - and enjoyed :)
@@OneLensOnly I will wait for reviews! Thanks!
Bought it! On the upgrade path.
Whoa! Congrats! Would you mind sharing a timeline if you have it?
@@OneLensOnly Mon ami, as I understand it I am in the first batch, September. I was watching their website into the early morning hours here in the US. I was lucky. And while the camera is sometimes a beast it almost always is a darling. And the images are so good. I am trying the CV 35mm f/1.7 LTM and it does very nice color with Pixii. Not too saturated. more vintage. I am looking forward to your impressions with a beta Max, no pun intended.
Dang, Zoltan got in line ahead of me!
Of course! I'd be curious to see what the delivery time is on B&H, here in the old world we can (could?) jump on a car and drive to France...
Lol
So the one thing keeping me from getting a Pixii was specifically it not being FF. Now that it's going to be full frame I will 101% be purchasing it, because this opens the door to using the entire M-mount lens range as they should be. This is huge and amazing. Hopefully it gives Leica some good competition.
keep me posted when you get it :)
@@OneLensOnly still on the waitlist, hopefully they can ship to Japan.
That will be no problem :) I got mine delivered to Canada last year via courier
Exciting times :D I like the overall approach of this company. You can upgrade your old Pixii, they reserve the ff sensors to their customers. Nice!
I can't wait to have it in my hands :) I only wish there were a few ones circulating already, so that we could see some shots
@@OneLensOnly I guess it is same sensor as in Nikon ZF :D so we know hahaha
Do color filter work on Pixii monochrome
I assume they would, but I never tried. Noted down for a test as soon as I get it. Thanks
@@OneLensOnly I am not sure since it seems that they use derivative math to get results of monochrome. Also, I have the 25mm zeiss M lens , how did you get 25mm when they only have 28mm frame lines in the VF. I was considering an SL2-S with and M mount adapter. Since it has a 5.7k EVF I can use all my M glass regardless of focal length and Leica has ttheir Black and White baked inside the camera and the EVF shows monochrome results in the EVF screen which is better than imagining what the image looks like without color.
exactly the same doubt I had, and I will be happy to test it for you. Ideally the calculations to "give back" luminance to pixels would take a filter into account, but I like the empirical way :)
to use the 25mm, of course it was not precise but I was considering just a bit wider than 28mm. Ideally the whole VF
They should of just named it the PIXII M

Can’t use flash. That’s a no go
I know, I would love a hot shoe, too
