- In this video we compare two lenses, the Zeiss Sonnar 50mm 1.5 and the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm 1.4 and two cameras, the Leica M8 and the Leica M9.
Shooting bought in low light conditions.
You two look like awesome people who know how to have fun, and you clearly enjoy your photography, making the video enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
Thank you Daam, It was fun to go shooting with my sister, she likes to be behind and also in front of the camera, and this is great. All the best!
Cómo he disfrutado este video, el ritmo, las fotos, la música, todo. Suscrito ahora mismo.
Gracias, me alegro mucho.
Hello Hugo & Gabriella, beautiful pictures in low light ! Very intresting comparaison between the 2 lenses, both are TOP (for me) ! I use a Leica Q, but I am very intrested to see the results with your m8 + m9. Thanks for sharing those images with us all. Keep on smiling ! Greetings, Roger.
I agree, both are top, and for a razonable price. Thanks for your comment!
....your Sister Gabriella makes both lens look Amazing....my preference.....is Gabriella....Beautiful fotos...Thanks for sharing
I will told her ;-D
Yes Hugo you say that we need to compare the models! There is clearly a difference. You you do indeed have a very beautiful sister but what you both clearly have is a love of life, connection with each other and and a character which is wonderful to see.
Great video and great pictures. I have the voigtlander nokton 35-1.4 and use it with my Fuji. Like it a lot.
What an incredible and wonderful video you have made. Maybe the better one of your channel so far. You and your sister have taken gorgeous images and portraits. I miss Marbella. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Oviedo!
Hola Luis, Thanks a lot for your comment. Im happy you appreciate it. Saludos a Oviedo!
Hi Hugo. Another great video with you and your sister Gabriella showing off your photography skills together. After watching all of your videos, I bought an M8 to go along with my M9. But all of my lenses are Zeiss. I mostly keep my Biogon 25mm f2.8 on the M8 and my C-Biogon 35mm f2.8 on the M9. With the crop factor on the M8, the 25mm has a 33mm FOV. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi William, thank you for your comment. I’m glad the videos was usefull for you, this M8 deserve some attention. So we are partners in what cameras concerns ;-) The m8 and m9 live very well together in the same shelf.
The sonnar definitely has a special look and more of a 3d look. It looks like you had a great time, looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Yes, the more I use it the more I like it ;-)
Hola Hugo y Gabriela. Very nice video and nice pictures of Gabriela. I have the Zeiss 35mm 2.8 Biogon for my Leica as well as the 28mm 2.8. Both are excellent lenses. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more videos. Saludos de NY
Thank You Fernando, saludos desde Málaga
Hello Hugo and Gabriella...I like all the examples but I am particularly impressed with the results of the M8 at 1250 ASA with film like rendering. Also I must say, Gabriella looks beautiful again. Thanks for sharing, Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Leica Reasonings. I’m happy you see it like this, to me they look awesome, almost no edit is required in a image like this. They have enough “personality”
Hi Hugo, thank you for sharing this video, I’ve just purchase a used M8 and was thinking about the Ultron 28mm f2 Voigtlander, but now with your test on the 35mm I might change my decision and go with the 35 Nokton Classic f1.4. Was yours a Multi Coated MC or Single Coated SC? Thank you
This is the MC-Version. The SC-Version have a „SC“ in front of the lens.
I have no enough words to thank you for this wonderful video. Both lenses are amazing. The pictures were so good. Thanks a lot.
One question: is the voigtlander sc or mc lens? Thanks
@@yousef474 thanks for your comment. I really appreciate. The Voigtlander is a mc version. Great little lens. All the best!
Indeed, fantastic lenses. Nice review. You are right about the tiny Voigtlander being a great lens if you could only have one. I feel same about the 40, which is identical except focal length. I finally got the ZM50/1.5 and it’s as good as anticipated but even better bc image circle fits medium format Fuji. Amazing! Great to see nice images in a review. Not very common. :)
Thanks for your comment David. Im glad you enjoy the review. Is true, this lens are amazing, and the fact that works well with the medium format Fuji is other argument in its favor. Take care ;-)
Buenas noches Hugo!! Lo primero quería darte la enhorabuena por el canal!! Por qué decidiste hacerlo en inglés? Estoy buscando precisamente información sobre ambos objetivos y no he encontrado ningún canal de film photography en español! 😂
Hola! perdona el retraso o en la respuesta, he estado liado con las navidades... ;-)
Hice el canal en ingles porque el primer video en español no lo vio nadie, y el primero en ingles funcionó algo mejor. Si volviese a empezar el canal hoy, seguramente me pensaría hacerlo en español, porque ya hay mucho mas contenido en nuestro idioma. En cualquier caso s tienes dudas y puedo ayudarte, no tienes más que escribirme. Un saludo!!
very nice review. wonderful portrait!
Love your videos! Leica M8 colours are so good. I'm curious to know if you've used any IR Cur filter or post edit or images to correct for the IR?
Thanks André!, I have a IR filter attached to all my lens, but I found that colors without filter are sometimes warmer and more special, in a good way. But is risky with blacks...you know. In the "color editing department" I only adjust the WB when is necessary.
Nice colors in the high ISO/low light photos
Great video. It would be interesting to see both lens shot with the M9 to remove any camera differences.
Thanks! Yes, is coming in a next video, to, as you say, remove the camera differences.
Can't concentrate to the quality of lens with Gabriella in the pictures, she's too beautiful! Very nice video Hugo, just bought the voigtlander 50mm f1.5 and waiting to test it.
She is a good model, I agree ;-) The 50 1.5 must be a very good lens, I had one in my hands, it looks terrific.
Both Lean’s like it 👌🏼thanks a lot Hugo 🙏🏼☺️
You are welcome!
I like both, with a slight preference to the Zeiss for the pop. Anyway, both lenses do about 85 % of a Summilux APO at a fraction of the cost and with character. Something I can very well enjoy. Also astonishing, how the M8 image quality still keeps up after all these years. Might have to get one for as second body for BW.
Yes, as you said, you get a lot for your money. And also extra character in bought cases.
...the M8 is an extraordinary camera, I like it more and more.
Andreas T what is a Sumilux APO- you mean sumicron APO
Hugo, thanks very much for your video. I agree they are both excellent lenses. Personally, I prefer the perspective of the 50mm Zeiss and thanks to you I’ll buy one if I can find one. Incidentally your sister Gabriella is very photogenic. Subbed! Best wishes from England.
Thank you Christian! Im glad you like the video, it encourage me to continue. Both lenses are excellent, just depend on your focal preferences. For a 50mm the Zeiss is is an extraordinary "do it all" full of character. Best wishes from Marbella!!
Nice comparison! I’ve owned the Nokton 35mm and the Zeiss ZM 35mm (not the 50mm). Both are great alternatives to LEICA glass. I sold both to purchase a much needed 2nd camera to shoot a wedding. Now I’m trying out the inexpensive 7artisans 35mm and it is holding up so far, sharp, but without that voigtlander character. But hear that the 7artisans 28mm is amazing.
Nerdzombiedisco thanks for your comment. I hear a lot of good things about this 7artisans. I have enough lenses for now, but I have an aye keep on that brand.
Hugo. Very cool photos. Love the Hat. where do you get it? haha. Also I noticed your happy to shoot the M8 above base ISO something I never do! Maybe I should do it a little more often! Would make it more versatile. What is your thoughts on ISO on the M8 and above 640 would you think black and white is better? Hugo have you a web site or blog also?
Thanks Colin! The hat is from a brand call Broswell, safari model. ...in the south of Spain, when you don't have any hair, a hat is required ;-)
At high iso (and with light enough) the m8 produce images with a very pleasant texture, and unique look, film like but without adding filters. Authentic one. I like it. Thats why sometimes I shoot at 1250 in the m8 with not other reason that get this texture and color. Not web site jet, just the Yt channel.
My Leica M8 hi Hugo, I used to basically not shoot my m8.2 over base iso but recently I’ve been doing so a lot more to get the shutter speeds I need. Some lovely photos with some character!! Thanks for the tips and I’ll have to source that hat hahahahaha 🙏☘️

Colin O'Sullivan, nice to hear it 👌 ...I need a new hat too 😉
My Leica M8 🤣 I’ve to pick up one of those myself. Are you on Instagram? I’ll have to share some recent m8 experiments. Cheers
Hi Hugo! It is so nice to hear from you again! Another great video and I enjoyed it a lot. I have the M8 and the VM Nokton SC and I love it. The rendering has a classic vibe I love and paired with the M8’s rather unique colors the look is very pleasing to me. I’ve been wanting to share some examples with you some are on my IG @thesmalltalker on on my Flickr @smalltalker_taffy (under the M8 in 2019 album). Love your channel. All the best to you and your sister!
Hi clipsTL, Thanks for your comment. You have a very nice Instagram, great photos from your son, and landscapes. Now I follow you ;-)
My M8 came with the Nokton attached and for one year it was my only lens.
Al the best and till the next video!
My Leica M8 thanks Hugo. I owe my 35 c-biogon more action but I have to say is just so versatile! And I don’t think I see a big quality compromise!
Lovely video and great information 👍🏻
Voitlander 35mm f/1.4 is soft wide open. I love taking photos of food with it. The Leica 40mm F2 summicron is much sharper and a better lens while very affordable
Thanks for the advice. I keep my eyes in this Leica 40mm. And now that I sold my Summicron 50 may be is time.
@@myleicam8546 - but susceptible to flare.
Excellent video.
lovely vibe to your video and thank you. I prefer the Zeiss.
Thanks
Great comparison, with signature style and elan. I have the Sonnar 1.5 50mm and CV 1.4 40, the sonnar has a delicacy in the rendering, the Voigtländer doesn't quite equal. The Sonnar is better at a childs blush, or capturing the faint half remembered tears...the Voigtländer I prefer for B&W.
Hi Hugo
Congratulations on a great video comparing these two lenses, very enjoyable and informative. Some great images from both M’s and lenses, it also seems like your sister is enjoying using a Leica camera and has a good eye for photography. Please keep these videos coming 👍. I noticed on the Leica Forum that you made it to the Leica One Meet-up in Seville, hopefully you got some good images if Pete didn’t keep you talking too much, he’s very knowledgable about all things Leica and always willing to explain anything you are not sure about.
Thanks Geoff, Is always a pleasure go out and take some photos with my sister. She also enjoys posing, so we had everything for a good photographic day. The best thing of having two cameras is that you can borrow one and go out to take photos. I went to the Leica One Meet-up, and it was great, I meet nice people with the same passion. ...Unfortunately my photos didn't came very good ;-)
What can I say Gabriella is gorgeous and that Zeiss has an edge over that Voigtlander in the way that it separates the subject from the background.
I agree
Excellent video!...I like the Zeiss the best!
Thanks!!
Fantastic review...bravo 👍
Hi Hugo yes they are both nice lenses - I have similar ones - a Voigtländer 50 mm 1.2 which is a great portrait lense and a Zeiss Biogen 35 mm f2 - I use them both either on the m240 or m10 P
Hi Roberto, yes they are great. This 50mm 1.2 must be exceptional for what I hear.
Lovely intro
Thanks ;-)
Cool intro, Hugo.
Thank you!
The M9 group looks brighter
I allways love your videos. Pure kharma for my sole. You both Seem to be great Company and your sister look like a godess 🙂 Would be nice if you make a test of the Voigtlander 50mm f1.2 asph 😉 best from Denmark
kims37 Thanks a lot for your comment. Yes, Is easy and very nice go shooting with my sister, she is not only a person who likes photography, she also can stay in front of the camera. Unfortunately I don’t have a Voigtlander 50 f1.2 to test. May be in the future :-)
The voight is closest to Leica 50 summilux asph in terms of rendition, but nothing beats the summilux i guess, it’s just a matter of taste imo, i have tried the voight 50mm 1.2 asph, 50 sum asph and zeiss 50mm 1.5 zm, i kept the leica even it’s the most expensive, but i said it’s all a matter of taste again
I'm a little late to this video but I must say I like both lenses but I like your sister the most! But hey your a good looking guy too, I'm just not into guys. 👍
Thanks! I laugh a lot with your comment ;-D !!
I think Zeiss wins.
I think so too
👍👍🌹🌹❤❤🌹🌹👌👌
The Sonnar pops. The Nokton not so much. And no the model has nothing to do with it :)
a5m Yes, in this comparison the Zeiss shines a beat more. No models to blame ;-)
