Hahaha Matti has set foot in the termite mound, a real sacrilege, daring to compare anything to the monument of photography that is the Leica. The pinnacle of camera marketing, which as soon as it leaves the store, the buyer stands straighter, with a more confident gaze and a small condescending pout at the corner of his lips. The world is divided in two, there is "Leica" and there is the "rest". Is it so difficult to understand? Having a broken Q3 is it a problem to throw a 3,000 € lens in the trash? Only a vulgar person would see a problem with that. I don't have a Leica of course, I'm quite sure I couldn't merit it but I have a poster on my wall and I genuflect every time I walk past...

Hi Matti great video it is clickless aperture which i do not like but if it locks in auto mode thats not a problem for me. Does it knock out of auto on the aperture ring easly or does it have a strong deffinate click to put into auto? thanks

hi matti, nice and complete review video especially for the problem at ibis. I'm still curious why you recommend this viltrox 28 and not the sony 28mm f2.

Hi Matti! Interesting video. I am not stating that this lens is not an excellent value for money ands no value to the Sony lens ecosystem, but your statement about the Q3 replacement is a huge overstatement. Overall, the results that can be achieved with a recent Sony body and this lens can be much better, cheaper and easier to achieve, however, the Q3's lens quality does not even seem to be in the same ball park as the Viltrox 28/1.8. I hope Viltrox is catching up soon, but in the meantime, I would not riticule myself with such a statement.

If you watch Christopher Frost's extremely objective review you will realize the Viltrox is superior to the Leica Q lens. (which isn't even a 28mm), which is plagued with extreme amounts of distortion resulting in soft corners.

9:07 If he mounts the Viltrox, 28mm, f 1.8 to a Sony A7 iv he can make images that look a lot like Leica..I concur these are beautiful images, and wonderful results out of a $379 lens. Who can argue this point? Matti, are the photos straight out of the camera or did you do some editing in post to adjust/enhance the colors and contrast?

Hey Matti! As we say:”Whatever floats your boat.” For some it may be the Leica, for some a Sony or some other camera. Doesn’t matter in my view. Form factor of the Leica is appealing though. Still Matti it’s not necessary to click bait with this title. It’s not your style and not necessary. Heippa, Andy

Compared to the video sequences shot by action cam/smartphone, the stills are strongly over saturated, exaggerated in contrast and perhaps also over sharpened. Is this the new Matti Sulanto look. (I would notice that even without the possibility of comparison.) It may be that this is due to the Malaysian light.

more and more often I switch off the IBIS when focal length and light situation allow it. I also like to use again the Sony Alpha 6000 or Alpha 5000 to get crisp images. One thing is clear: IBIS brings the shutter shock blur. That's annoying!

@professionalpotato4764

IBIS doesn't cause shutter shock. Shutter shock can occur to any camera. But at certain shutter speeds around the natural frequency of the camera body, you may experience blur.

"Leica abilities", I am getting tired of hearing frases like this, Leica does not make anyone a better photographer and a Leica does not give any better images than other brands. About Lens, I do not like the 28mm focal length for full frame, I prefer 35mm (or 24mm). Today when someone ask, I recommend Sony Cameras, because there are so many different types of Cameras in Sonys line-up, there are a Sony Camera for everyone and there are plenty of Lenses to choose from for Sony E-mount.

Matti your kidding. Leica gave the Q the same lens formula as its $6,000 M lens, they put in a leaf shutter that x sync to 1/2000 sec., then the lens has OIS. Also, the lens has a macro mode. Since the lens is built in there is no mount slop. To get the same resolution you have to buy a Sony A1 only 50 not 60mp and it costs as much as the Q without the lens

@hanumanguy

Жыл бұрын

In his summary from 8.50 to 11.45 he basically says you can create pictures that look "a lot like the Leica Q3". In my opinion when you get into gear comparisons there are two main factors, user experience and real world end results. Matt clearly states it's not the same user experience and is only claiming "a lot like" real world end results. "a lot like" is open to interpretation. The bottom line for me with "end results" would be to look at a sizable print of an identical scene with both set ups and see what they looked like. I think the video is targeted at people that already have a Sony and for a few hundred dollars more they can create a very decent 28 POV street photography look. Regards resolution there can't be much real difference between a 40 MP and 60 MP sensor unless you are printing billboards or want to crop a lot, which is one of the beautiful aspects of the Q3, the ability to crop to tighter focal lengths. Your point about the price is well taken, a Sony A74 + 2 good prime lenses could easily take you over $4K and a Sony A75 is almost starting at $4K. Even a 40 MP Asp-c camera + 2 primes will cost close to $3K or more so yes the Q3 offers a lot. It would work for me as I only shoot 28 mm and 50 mm!

@@mattisulanto. I’m disputing it, Matti! The Leica certainly can’t beat Viltrox on Price!😅😅😅. Thats for darn sure! The Q series Leicas sound like wonderful cameras, (sounds= I don’t own one and I don’t feel any less of a human being for it!). But me being a hobbyist with enough money to afford one, could never justify the spend. Speaking to the comments on the user experience….One does not question what paint brushes Michelangelo “enjoyed” using, but they still today marvel at his results. Likewise, I just don’t understand why so much is made of this “Je ne sais quoi”, or magical enchantment photographers feel from using a Leica,(Sorry, some things even youtube can’t bottle up and convey). If a $379 lens for my cheaper Sony will give me the vaunted “Leica look” without the outrageous price tag, I may be game to look at it. And thanks for sharing the beautiful photos, Matti. :)

Hum your title makes me embarrassed… Sony and Leica are at the 2 ends of photography. The first is high tech, top end specifications, endless menus, numerous programmable function buttons and the other is tradition, simplicity, less buttons to concentrate on the basics of the photo. So even if the viltrox imay be good ( I am afraid it can t be at the level of the Leica… starting by its size) , it can t be compared to the Q line. So if your title was forget the Leica Q3 take the Leica Q (300% more affordable and 90% of the pleasure) it would have been understandable but viltrox vs Leica… it just means you never tried the Q3 :). On my side I have the 2 cameras , one makes me think to my job (efficient , reliable ) and the other makes me think to pure pleasure… and honnestly if you want to stay on Sony technical world , the 28mm f2 is far more near the Leica combination in terms of weight and size… and it cost 200€ on second hand.

Anyway it doesn t change my point saying that Sony and Leica are the two ends of photography, just like Tesla and Ferrari or Aston Martin are at the two ends of car… and guess which one I prefer :)?

I see a few major flaws in your solution: • The Sony A7RV plus a Viltox 28mm f1.8 weight 2.4 lbs vs the 1.6lbs of the Leica Q3. Since size/weight is a major motivator for purchasing the Leica the Sony loses in this regard. • Your option means the purchaser ends up with a Viltrox lens… not a Leica lens. I don’t think anyone could successfully argue that the two are equivalent quality. Interestingly, if you price out a Sony A7RV with a similar GM lens, you’ll find you are right around $5400… not too far from the Leica price wise; but the Sony is still not hand made. The Sony will have nowhere near the build quality of the Leica. Also resale will be far worse on the Sony. Great gear doesn’t mean great pictures… so you must keep in mind a bad photographer with a great camera is still a bad photographer. If you can comfortably afford the Leica, buy the Leica. If you can afford only one… well, I hate to say it, but you cannot “comfortable” afford the Leica.
