gotta agree on that one anon, also that lens looks hot af

They really are beautiful. I like how the design is much more futuristic than say the Nikon F2 or Leica M6 yet it's still an instant classic

>>4339874
looks like a very bloated barnack leica with an aftermarket grip tacked on, cringe color, and cosina lens

>>4339874
It is truly beautiful. Peak film era design aesthetics.

It's a rangefinder camera, it can't be the most beautiful ever just because of that. But it's not even the most beautiful (or more like, least ugly) rangefinder camera.

I like the design but I think the lens, especially Zeiss planar 45mm f2 are just garbage
seriously I can't put my finger on it, but their looks is just fucking fuzzy and unsharp in a bad way, like I feel like I have some dust in my eyes when I look at the photos taken with it

>>4340135

>>4340136
Imagine thinking Kyocera, a budget-tier printer company, made a good camera, bro.

>>4340174
kinda this to be honest. i mean i'd rather cosina who at least made the gorgeous bessa rangefinder cameras than kyocera. makes sense they had the tech for both bessa and the g1 too..

>>4340170
yeah but they're not summicron money lol

>>4340174
Mine works perfectly

>>4340244
I paid $275 for my 40mm summicron from KEH last year.

Pentax 17 mogs the one in OP + it has a dedicated bokeh mode

>>4340652
Oh the undesirable Summicron that only works properly on mirrorless and the CL and CLE? Yeah that checks out.

>>4340657
cope the 40mm is goat

>>4340685
Not saying its a bad lens, just not optimal for most M users.

>>4340657
>Leica users be like, "this lens is useless becaue the funny viewfinder lines dont match up, and actually barnack never intended us to... and winogrand would have never needed... and erwitt preferred, so..."
>SLR users: cool lens

>>4340693
Bro if the frame lines dont line up i dont think its that useful, its that simple.

>>4340695
And you are totally powerless to simply adjust these frame lines. Why? Because leica never thought of a funny little number dial that says "flen" that enlarged or shrank a funny little box in a glass window. German engineering at its absolute best.
>can't use a lens because the focal length is 5mm off from the framelines
>lens selection is dictated by framelines
>non-adjustable btw
lmao leicucks

>>4339874
Yeah looks good. Personally I'd say the nicest looking is like a New F1 with the 85mm f/1.2 or an F2, but that's a nice looking camera.

>>4340699

Anklebiters ho!

>>4340699

rangefinder ilcs are inherently cucked. it was only every appropriate for fixed lens cameras.

only reflex is good enough

>>4340716
Delusional, given that 95% of every iconic photograph ever taken in the last 50 years was done so on a Leica while Kyocera (((Contax))) are just memed accessory queens worn by hipsters like a piece of Jewelry. Meanwhile Digital Leicas continue to be used by famous fashion photographers to do entire editorial shoots using gorgeous M mount lenses. Grow up.

>>4340724
i dont like new york school street photography and don’t consider any of it iconic or compelling, but rather, boring garbage.

and just like that 95% of iconic photographs were either taken on a nikon f, a medium format slr, or a view camera and rangefinders are kinda irrelevant. digital leicas are used by brand ambassadors who would use a nikon f3 if they werent being paid not to. remember “annie uses fuji” but actually its sony canon and nikon? lol imagine believing brand ambassadors actually use the ad camera for work

>>4340726
schizo cope. stop buying ebay junk for once and save a little and you can afford a good Leica finally.

>>4340724
>fashion photographers
You think leicas shot relevant photos. Of course you’d idolize literal fucking advertising lol

Great photos such as garry winogrands “people on sidewalk” or henri cartier bressons “i dont know how to use a camera, i’m actually a painter, so it took a roll and 20 minutes to get a shot of my friend going around a corner on his bike”. To be fair back then it was kind of hard to get a fine Japanese SLR. Tech had not improved yet!

>>4340727
Ok, but I don’t consider new york school street photography iconic, which means leicas did not shoot 95% of iconic photos.

I also don’t idolize fashion photography which is actually mostly film and canon DSLRs btw

Woah buddy no one said new york school street photography was a jewish conspiracy just that it sucks. Its not iconic or good art.

>>4340733
>Irving Penn began using a 35mm Leica camera in 1950 during his travel assignments for Vogue. Although Leica and other camera designers had been producing small, metal single-lens reflex cameras that used 35mm film since the mid-1920s, they did not gain popularity until after World War II.

>The 35mm camera features a modular body that can be used with interchangeable lenses and other accessories such as rangefinders and viewfinders. When Penn traveled to France, Spain, and Morocco in 1950, he frequently used a telephoto lens with the Leica in order to capture distant images. In the late 1950s, Penn converted his studio equipment from Leica to a Nikon system, essentially trading the rangefinder-style Leica camera for the newer single-lens reflex design of the Nikon. Penn recalls:

>In a burst of romantic passion for this new apparatus (forgetting gratitude to the Leica and with even a certain amount of disloyalty) I diverted myself of all our studios [sic] elaborate and superb Leica equipment, taking a terrible financial beating in the process, not finding a panacea and exchanging one set of headaches for another.

>While it was the telephoto lens that initially drew him to the 35mm camera, Penn came to appreciate the precision he could achieve with the various adjustments available. Because of the small film size, 35mm cameras take incredibly sharp pictures and offer a higher level of control over depth of field compared to twin-lens reflex cameras such as the Rolleiflex. The small format 35mm film, however, necessitated use of a photographic enlarger when printing the negatives—a shift from the contact printing process Penn was able to employ with large format film—yet the use of an enlarger opened a new world of possibilities in the manipulation of images.

Nikon > Leica > The rest.

>>4340736
So he only used leica to cope with better cameras not being widely available at the time?

Yeah so did everyone else with a leica. They suck today as much as they continued sucking when nikon and olympus showed up and started mogging them.

The primary appeal of using a rangefinder is the fact that you don’t look like a professional photographer holding one.

thanks beb

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Leica gear is pretty based, I use it on a nearly daily basis and whenever I have to use something else I miss it one way or another. Especially the stuff with built in hoods is top notch. But most importantly the lines are more clear than on some alternative stuff. You don't have to do double takes to see if you're looking at the relevant one with Leica stuff. The coatings are great too, a lot more flare resistant than the competition. The worst I've used is B***h.

e was the more economical model vs the black a (automatic) model, but the e was actually nicer bc it gave u more cuntrol. Shame there are no survivors tho. A leaf spring buried deep inside its 900 tightly-packed moving parts assembled by watchmakers seems to have hare krishna’d out by the 2010s on all of them. None work and no one can repair them. There is a technical manual and parts catalog for it that reads like german schematics for a fucking space station. If i were going to go to war against germany and saw that manual i would change my mind.
