Leica Mirrorless Digital Camera

[P-TTL] I have had this camera for about 4 months now and I am very very happy with it. I have been using a mirrorless full frame camera for the last 5 years, but the prospect of a monochrome-focused camera was too good to pass up. I specialize in monochromatic images and have a lot of success selling them in a gallery in Juneau, Alaska. This has brought an excitement to my artwork that I haven't felt in some time. It really brings a film-grain richness to the images, the noise is handled beautifully, and the dynamic range is excellent. I ended up selling all of my Sony FF gear and am all-in with this beauty. I also print a lot of cyanotypes from the files and this camera has improved my digital files I use for the digital negatives I use in the process. Thank you, Pentax, for thinking outside the box.

[0.605 lb] I was making the move from a digital all-in-one (and phone camera) to a mirrorless camera, and the reviews of this one really got me to look it over. I am so glad that I did! The Micro 4/3rds system makes it so much smaller and more portable than full frame systems, and Canon includes so many helpful ways for a novice to learn while taking pictures with this model. The 'scene' and 'AP' modes start you with presets for taking certain types of photos, and the Info button can be used to toggle on or off a helpful blurb about almost every option. The lens options for this camera are also fantastic. There are so many great lenses out there, and the prices AND size/weight of them is so much more reasonable than larger camera models. The OM-D E-M10 is not for a professional photographer (though the higher end models certainly seem to be) but for someone who aspires to be a more serious hobby photographer, I think it's a GREAT way to launch.

[Handheld Only] This body pouch is the perfect size to carry a single Leica or other mirrorless camera with at least one other lens in the same pouch. An outer velcroed pocket can carry spare batteries or memory cards. It comes with two sturdy straps on the back which I use to attach it to a shoulder strap. When I want to carry a single camera and lens change in a discrete pouch this is the ideal format. Well built and has decent padding, though it's roomy enough you can add a little more.

[10] As its label (50mm f/0.95) would suggest, this lens is an extraordinary photographic tool, either on an M-mount (Leica) camera or, with various adapters, on mirrorless cameras (albeit with manual aperture & manual focus). There's no issue with focusing accuracy with a mirrorless camera, of course, but with an M-mount camera the maximum aperture (f/0.95) accurate focusing may require an adjustment to the lens to work precisely with the camera's rangefinder, and TTArtisan kindly provides the tools and instructions for doing that. My copy of this lens, however, was perfectly adjusted right out of the box (whether that's the exception or the rule, I cannot say). This lens used good materials (metal) and is well put together---a quality product. Is this lens a paragon of optical perfection? No, far from it, but you don't buy an f/0.95 lens for that; you buy it for the unique effects you can obtain at maximum aperture. Is it a world-beating built-like-a-tank masterpiece of optical and mechanical construction like the Leica 50mm Noctilux? No, of course not, but it also costs only about 6% of the price of a Noctilux ($755 vs. $12,795), which makes it an extraordinary value for the money.

[0.8 lb] I bought the Mirrorless Mover 10 for when I am out and about or traveling with my Leica Q3. The camera fits perfectly with room for some spare batteries and SD cards. It protects and hides the camera when you are not using it. Larger cameras won’t fit in the 10 but something like the Fuji X100V will do fine. It’s obviously not for a full kit. I like the magnetic closure - better than fumbling with a zipper when you need to get the camera out quickly.

[0.02 lb] I own a Leica MP film camera as well as the Leica M11-P digital camera. Thanks to this diopter I can now focus my rangefinder cameras in lightening speed.

[4.7 x 2.4 x 1"] As a collector of various digital camera classics by LEICA, Panasonic LUMIX and NIKON, I like the ability to keep all my batteries alive with the excellent Watson 2 bay battery charger and the different available plates.

[Leica M] I recently decided to go back to using a digital Leica (M-262) as my primary camera. I was able to afford the purchase by selling my FujiFilm digital kit. To be honest, my cameras were several years old and getting a little long in the tooth. I figured I should sell them before they were worth pennies. I still own a Leica M6 35mm film camera and the most amazing FujiFilm X-100F digital camera. I already own two Leica lenses, a 1970 50mm f2 Summicron and a 90mm 2.4 Summarit. I felt the need for a faster lens. I already owned the Voigtlander 35mm 1.4 Nokton Classic which has great image and build quality so I eagerly awaited the release of the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm 1.2. This lens was anticipated to be an amazing alternative to the very expensive Leica 50mm lenses. I purchased my lens from B&H Photo in New York. I have always had good luck purchasing from them as they are very trustworthy and reputable. My Lens arrived new and amazingly well constructed as I expected. I do wish the lens came with the matching hood and maybe a dust pouch or bag. It just came in standard protective box and packaging (yawn). I think they are missing the mark by not adding some updated presentation packaging. I have found the lens to be very sharp and has a very nice Bokeh. Any lack of sharpness has been caused by being out of practice with the manual focus rangefinder, my eyes starting to age, astigmatism in my dominant eye and my now use of the dreaded spectacles. I am amazed at the image quality and construction of the Voigtlander. I have owned many 50mm lenses from different manufacturers to include the Canon 50mm L 1.2 and I have to say that this little guy (Voigtlander) takes the cake. It has amazing character to it.

[-0.6 m] I use this with my Voigtlander 15mm lens on a Leica film camera and a Leica digital camera. It is an essential tool if you want to see what you are taking pictures of with this equipment. The viewfinder itself is very well built, made of brass with a black finish. It looks good. It presents a very clear frame that is easy to see for those of us who wear glasses. Just be careful not to loose it. I was using the 28mm version of this when It came out of the hot shoe. After retracing my steps for several blocks I found it on the pavement, somewhat scraped, but otherwise fine. (now it looks like I've been in a war or two!)
