    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.

    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

    • @OneLensOnly
      @OneLensOnly 6 днів тому

      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

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 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

      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.

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.

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.
