    Those sample pics were awful, simply awful!

      Daniel Gabriel Secară they start to get better as the video goes on. The ones at 4:28 and 5:39 aren't bad at all and are sharp in focus

      No, you're awful and fat and a pseudointellectual.

    whenever kai does a review on a leica lens or camera, the sillyness stops. it's just a day out shooting what he loves. and i am jealous of that. to have day where your job is to shoot the leica is a treat.

    @alfonsocuiti That question contradicts itself, but that focal length would be around 115mm on an APS-C sensor.
    On the M8 it would be a 100mm.

    Any one noticed the guy is pushing a box of "Sekonic Light Meter" at 1:06? Hard to imagine even a camera store would order Sekonic meters by the boxes!!!

    Yes, it is easy to see which brand is his favorite. But nearly anyone can own a Leica. Elton John wanted to play piano so bad when he was young that he got a paper route to pay for his instrument. It all comes down to determination when you want to acquire something badly.

    Hi there, do you know "MagicSFXphoto" (just google it)? On their website you will find a smart free video demonstrating how to shoot incredible photos. This made it possible for Joe to take photos which leave you with that wow-effect when you look at them. It might help you as well.

    I have lived in Shanghai since I was 9 but native to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is more vibrant than any other cities in the world in my opinion, and the people are warmer than anywhere else in the world. I spent the last 8 years in a cold city like Shanghai, only to hang on a thread that is my friends. Let me go back to Hong Kong and give me a Leica, and I will have my life back.

  • @arnurson
    @arnurson 12 років тому

    This review is perfect. Relevant information and a little bit of joking. Quite frankly I think digital rev put too much emphasis on the latter part in their recent videos. It feels a bit forced. Maybe they'll gain viewers faster with that new style, but those viewers will eventually get tired of it, because they're not mainly watching the videos for the cameras.

  • @alfonsocuiti
    @alfonsocuiti 13 років тому

    @SuperHolybasil Yes, my question was a bit strange =P What I meant to say was that the field of view in Kai's camera is like a 50mm in APS-C (equivalent to 75mm)

  • @N1CK0N
    @N1CK0N 13 років тому

    Damn you Kai, for each new Leica related review I see, I want to have a Leica camera more and more. But i can't afford one, maybe one of their cheapest lens. Oh well som day....

  • @cchokl
    @cchokl 13 років тому

    Enjoyable video! I'm a BIG Leica fan so love this video. I also once owned this lens. I think this is by far at the moment the best optical offering across all focal lengths from Leica M.
    ....just a bit comment....Kai when you introduced its nice metal inbuilt hood, you haven't introduced that the hood when extended can be turned a bit and locked there so that it will not slide back! Hah gotcha!

  • @hcoll

    @fanjapanischermusik Never mind.

  • @shouldyray

  • @sheek3
    @sheek3 12 років тому

    I've always find the 90mm a vestigial focal length of a time when rangefinders and their lens lineups had to satisfy the need for a telephoto. Whilst I'm sure a lot of people can use it (probably very well) (the 90mm) on a rangefinder is such so not practical.

    I get sublimely happy to see how "romantic" Kai gets around Leica equipment (rightfully so.) Watching these Leica vids make me fade into the background of a bokehlicious world of passion photography. Like creamy peanut butter! Thanks DRTV!

      No it’s not. The M9 was the last pure body anyways without modern fad degeneracy.
