Hey there! Love the way you’ve put together this review. Awesome flow, great pictures. Keep up the great work!
Thanks dude! 🕺🏻🕺🏻
That lens on that camera is just perfect. I don't think photography can really get better than than,
Perfect video for deciding with a7C for my Leicas.
Very interesting review, as you love the magic of the lenses for what it is. Thanks.
🪄🔮🔮🔮
I have the silver version and my aperture ring is also lose. Nothing to worry about. A little annoying since the price is quite high, but it's a beauty and it delivers. Thanks for the video!
Really enjoyed this , reminded me of all the manual lenses I have sitting in the cupboard . I used to use voightlanders regularly on my Sony - gorgeous rendering . You should also try the loxia lenses the focus magnification is automatic
Woah, beautiful flaring, but with minimal ghosting... that’s incredible! Me and my mitakon speed master are jelly haha
Yeah, it’s a beauty!
This channel should have 1 million subscribers. Love your work Dude
Wow, thanks! Hopefully heading that direction haha :D
Reminds me of my voigtlander 50 1.2
Supposedly voigtlander is a awesome option for leica cameras and they produced some lenses with stunning character
Those are on my list to try out! Especially those SC (single coated) ones as they supposed to flare like crazy :)
You are a crazy guy for taking a risk, and trading those lenses for the Leica lens. Glad it paid off for you. Hope to be able and try one out one day!
Great video! Leica is a brand that truly intrigues me, but I've never used any of their products. It's great to get an idea of what makes them so special from this video. I love my Sony cameras and lenses, but now I am very tempted to try adapting a Leica lens to them! Thanks Magic 🙌
Leica lenses definitely have some magic ingredient in them, I all the time want to try more, but don't have any more spare Canon lenses to trade in :P
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer its even more magical when paired with a Leica body
It doesn’t make anybody a better photographer but it does make you feel better 😂 one thing, you can’t rely on Leica when it comes with speed, Japanese cameras out performs a Leica but, the image that comes out of a Leica is something else. I use my Leica for personal everyday photos, Lumix is for work.
Been there done that...some 7 years back. Adapted the summilux and voigtlander 35 1.2 on the Sony A7R for weddings in 2014
Hah, yeah! I remember when A7 R first generation came up and there was a lot of users trying those Leica lenses on it, as it was first non-Leica camera offering such a big sensor with possibility to adapt those lenses
Your video is relaxing to watch. Nice entertaining with a glass of wine.
Hey Magic, you should try the Voigtländer 35 f1.4 Nokton Classic for E-Mount (there you have Exifs and a lens optimized for the thicker Sony-sensor-stack)! This is wide open the known King of flares! Many portrait photographer use this small jewel just for this feature but it is a tiny and well manufactered lens with a gorgeous focus feel as well - the lightest 35 f1.4 (with 260g) for E-Mount! Give it a try!
Amazingly useful video for me to make a decision on buying Summilux 50. My Sony Alpha RV is coming this week and I am gonna use both in my portrait sessions.
I have a specific question: which lens did you use to record this video? The bokeh is great at the background.
Once again, thanks for your review on x 50. Helped me a lot on my decision.
Hey mate great review! Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what year/version is you summilux. Many thanks in advance. Do you get astigmatism on the corners?
Awesome man! Big goal of mine is to one day have this lens lol
I like how you roll man! 👍🏽
Thanks dude 👌🏻
Thanks for a good video, bro!!!
What a dream lens! I want that on my SL2-s. One thing I can say, when it comes with high stake events, I won’t use my Leica, I’m more comfortable with my Lumix. Also, Leica lenses works better with Leica body. I’d stick with a G master if I’m using a Sony.
I've had this lens on an M6 and M9. It's pretty magical and you won't regret getting any M for this lens. Even with pretty grainy b/w film, the images just pop when shot wide open. It's a special one and I'm thinking of getting it again (sold it for a 50 noctilux f/1 which I kept for a year or so).
update.. I bought it again :) I use it on a Nikon Z6.. if you think it looks goofy on your Sony, think again haha. But, you can't argue with the results. Just gorgeous.
Late on this video, but great stuff! I must ask, do you have any vignetting problems adapting m-lenses on Sony? It doesn't look like it. I have an adapter for M to E-mount and both my voigtlander 35mm and minolta rokkor 40mm vignettes more just as is on the Sony than on my 35mm film camera, but also crazy heavy in bright sunlight. It does gets a bit less with the E-front curtain shut off which I read can be a problem, but still quite heavy vignetting with it off.
If you have had different adapters through the years, do you feel any difference with the voigtlander one that you show in the video compared to others?
All the best!
Yeah dude!
Haha you know it!
What did you use to record this video it has such nice colors!
My Sony 85mm 1.8 gives me excellent flares!
Hello, your photos are beautiful but I was wondering, what do clients think about having visible flare patterns in images?
You have to try the 50lux on M10/M10R. There are some old articles on Leica Glass on Leica vs Sony. I would love to see a video on this.
I’m really interested to try this out! Looking for a decent Leica camera for tests (so far I have access to M240)
Have you had any problems with color fringing? I threw the 50 sum on my a7c and had crazy purple fringing
Thanks .. 👌
I have 7 Leica lenses and will never part with them. I went to Sony simply because of its adaptability but the Nikon Z series seems to be even better with adapted Leica glass so I may get a used Z5 and use it only for my Leica glass. I do love my Sony Zeiss glass since it's very Leica like with its rendering wide open. Enjoy.
My 50 lux aperture ring is also loose. I hear that's normal but can be adjusted if you're willing to send it to wetzlar.
Love that info, thanks!
May I know which version of your leica 50mm lens?thx
Thanks for the review. The camera and lens are nice combinations and your photos are amazing!
I used SonyA7II with the Summilux 50. I'm wondering how to custom the camera to have a center bottom for zoom in to see the focus area?
Summilux! 😭 thats the dream. After buying a Leica body, I’m stuck with one Leica lens that’s frowned upon because its Japanese made, Elmarit 24-70 f2.8 is the only Leica lens I can afford.
I think the flare doesn't come from the Leica Summilux Lens, instead from the Voigtländer Adapter.
I bought mine today and it can be made less loose if you send it Leica. I tried 3 used ones today and only one wasn't loose.
Same loose aperture ring here, mate. Great lens though. It's been on the front of my Sony cameras more often than any other lens in my collection.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah, it's a beauty!! What do you use it for?
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer a bit of everything really. It was the first full frame lens I purchased with the Sony a7R, so I’ve used this lens for portraiture, landscapes and even street photography.
Those old manual aperture rings normally just have a spring tensioned tiny ball bearing in the detent. I don't know the Summilux specifically but if it's like most, nearly any competent camera tech should be able to add a bit more tension to stiffen up the detent movement slightly. It's likely simply due to age/use that it's lost some it's spring tension. Good stuff fellas. :)
I own the silver version of this lens as well! It is also quite loose on the aperture ring. I think it’s a common problem with this lens
Yeah, it seems that way!
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer the hood will also get slightly loose over time. How’s yours holding up?
@@luminouswaves2640 yep, mine is fine. But I never touch it :)
@@luminouswaves2640 yeah my hood is also slightly loose, the silver one is actually a lot heavier than the black ones i just found out
Are you using a filter on the front? I don't get that flare withy copy. It's pretty damn flare resistant. Though it holds it's contrast backlit very well.
Interesting! I do use a filter on it, but can get the flare regardless. I’ve heard from multiple sources about flaring capabilities of it, that is why I was so tempted to get it, so I’m surprised you cannot get it with your piece...
That’s one of the articles I remember reading about it: www.jaycassario.com/blog/2017/1/3/my-top-3-lenses?rq=Flare
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer I have the black chrome version, and I'm wondering if there is any sort of difference to the coatings on it. Interesting.
All my Leica lenses have loose aperture rings
Thanks for that info dude! It makes me feel better that my unit is not broken 😉
can I apply this to A6700 too?
What is the exact reference of this lense please ? There are so many variants :(
There are some elvish inscription in those flares!! (lord of the rings reference) 😁
Hahaha indeed! Love the reference!
Would you suggest any budget friendly lens for flare for A7iii?
Depending on the budget you might be looking at Helios lenses or maybe some voightlander with SC (single coated) and I’m actually planning to test those out too!
What 50mm summilux is this??
Last year, Fidelb happened to be at someone else's wedding. He sang his sad songs there all night. It wasn't until the morning that the jolly people let him go home... 🤓... That very morning, #Fidelb launched his channel. So come in...
Nice video (first Ive seen of yours), but your dusty sensor drives me nuts! :D
Get the Kolari sensor Upgrade.
I think Ken Rockwell said he would avoid these lenses due to them not being designed for the curvature of field on modern sensors?
Ken Rockwell also thinks iPhones 11 takes better pictures than the Leica Q2, so…
@@AaronAnalog1 Leica is not the same company it was decades ago, sure he gave a more qualified answer.
wow ! immediately like the guy . sense of humor . *life sentence with me* ;))) what a cute expression . sorry but I'm stealing it and sell it as my own henceforth ;) thumb is went up
How does the Summilux look shot on video with a Sony? Super curious. "Layers of Flares" should be your nickname. ;)
I have 3 daughters and 1 son too :D
I love vintage cameras and lenses, but I've never been able to get into Leica. $5,000 for a 50mm?! 👀
That GM is way better than that sum
Pierwszy! :)
🥇🥇🥇
81.... :(
At least this is better than someone buying a Leica camera and using a non-Leica lens on it…
8:34 you think the Leica lens looks ugly on your sony?... Bro look at that gross fat huge lens on that little camera. It looks ridiculous. The Leica lens made it a lot more elegant and looked way more niche and interesting of a camera than it actually is.
Sony is great, but they just cant hang with how leicas lenses draw. You want speed, go sony, you want to make dreams, you shoot leica.. its that simple..
You actually touched on a very interesting topic to me, which is will Leica lens “perform” better / give better image on Leica sensor and why?
I want to test that out in one of my future videos with M240 + lux 50 vs Sony + Lux 50.
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer I mean, I was a sony shooter and moved from a7r4 to a Leica sl2s. Sure the color science is better, but the sensor is essentially the same in design, so its not like it has a huge advantage over sony. Leica builds a better camera sure, and the menu system is as intuitive as it gets. Things like full size hdmi, 10 bit recording internal, ultra low light capability, multishot mode in camera for when you need a high resolution images or something. All in all, I do not regret leaving sony for Leica, id do it again if I had the choice. Leica is top tier, almost the "louis vuitton" of cameras, and the images you get have a look that sony cant match. I mean, just look into the leica noctilux .95 on flickr and then tell me youve seen that come from anything sony makes. I rest my case.
@@CryoftheProphet Some don't see the color. Some don't hear the sound. Some just don't see the Leica look. You just can't explain certain thing.
You're kidding me. That much flare from a $2500. Summilux????? Why not just get a $50. Soviet lens or a $500. Summar (aka flare master).
Then there’s no sharpness and no color. I have few other vintage lenses that flare ac well, but it can’t match with summilix iq
