There is an obvious difference, Leica lenses are one of the bests. The color and contrast are superb, same as resolution. 3000$ for them is justifued price, don't forget canon rf 50/1.2 for 2200$. But cameras are overpriced. Sony sensor inside, 5000$ top for M11, not 8000$.

The fact you do not see the differences does not mean there aren't any. I was just like you and challenged a friend of mine. He lent me his Leica M6 and told me to take exactly the same images with it as with my Nikon F3 (and 35 mm lenses). Then to print them on the same enlarger and that he would be able to recognise the ones taken with his Leica. He did, showed me the differences... and I bought a Leica M ! ;o)

What is easily missed is that these cameras are excellent value for money on the 2nd hand market: you can get a SL (or even an S!) for less than 2k$, given their qualities it’s a steal. You get Leica lenses because of their unmatched image quality, you get Leica bodies because of the unmatched focus they give you when shooting (zero irrelevant distracting technical details), all in a small package (not medium format sized). I owned a X1 and M9, currently own a M10 and SL and I’m far from rich nor am I showing, and none of my Leica-shooter pals are… We’re mostly hiding our cameras to avoid attention in order to get genuine pictures (not posed)(both their small size and functional, no-bling esthetics, helps). Quite the opposite of the clichés…

Hello, I shoot professionally full time (product photos) and after moving through all the brands over the years I have to say that the number one thing people miss about understanding the Leica brand is ease of editing. Sony and Nikon always required sooo much time to get colors to look like real life. Nikon was definitely the hardest, and I was shooting a combo of d810 and d750 which are pretty powerful dslrs. Canon is a close second in terms of editing time. But after taking a chance on a ten year old Leica, I’ll probably be using them for the foreseeable future. Editing time is so much faster and the end result has a sort of 3d pop to it that seems suit marketing images well. I just like a camera that I know is going to deliver the color that I see with my eyes after putting in time for lighting and props ect. I used to think Leicas were just snobby hipster cameras, but take it from a guy whose job is on the line in terms of turnaround time and image quality, Leicas really are special. I wish I would have switched years ago, and I wish all cameras had the color accuracy that they do. It’s a shame they cost as much as a used car. But even their old stuff is worth it’s weight in gold.

One reason that was overlooked in this video and comments is that Leica cameras and lenses are also expensive because they are manufactured and hand built in Germany. They’re built by skilled technicians who are paid well. They have never been mass produced in Asia for example.

I think you can certainly say, that lack of frivolous features and any unnecessary automation, have forced you to teach yourself photography, at least on a technical level. The trick is that they slow you down and force you to make decisions, and that takes thinking. Compare that to the world of Fuji, Sony, Canon etc etc etc.

One of the big 3 of binoculars with Zeiss and Swarovski. Is the same thing, you can get almost the same with a bino that cost 1/3, but sometimes you want the best.

whoever says Leica is same level of other brands just try it, of course part of the price is because of the brand name which costs to be kept in high standard but just make a comparison and honestly express your feeling after that. people who believe that a seiko wrist watch is showing time same as a Vacheron constantin or Patek philippe so they are the same value are majority of course and its true in this specific issue but just consider Seiko is produced in mass and maybe millions per year but for Vacheron and patek they make less than 2000 per year and for each piece it takes 2 or 3 masters to make it in lengthy time., vacheron has history of watch making of about 280 years and patek 200 years, nobody makes you to pay 40,000 to 100,000 and even more usd for a watch but if you feel you like it and have enough to afford it, its your call. thanks for video and explanation.

I like the design of Leica and the features. It reminds me of the camera origin design and it has a vintage appeal.

What this video misses is that you're really paying the premium for unique features and performance, it's not just luxury. The M cameras rangefinder is a unique way to shoot that has high precision engineering requirements, and is paired with very compact and light yet high performance lenses, a lens like the 35mm or 50mm APO is better than most any lens you will find at this focal length, while being far more compact and light (pocket sized, under 300 grams). The SL series of cameras has a different concept, is an ordinary mirrorless system however the SL Summicron lenses are the highest performing lenses that you will find for a full frame camera in terms of contrast and sharpness. People want to compare Leica to Rolls Royce, but Porsche would be a far better comparison. As their philosophy is to combine luxury and performance (especially optical performance). And what you are really paying for is the high precision required to do best performance in a lens that is about 1/3 the size of what is typical for full frame. Leica's philosophy can really be summed up in the phrase, no expense spared. They're expensive because they don't care about economising production.

Look at the used market, the nice things about Leica cameras and lenses is that they are reliable and last. Good craft has some advantages.

Why the high cost of Leicas? Several reasons: every Leica is made by hand by highly trained craftspeople. Many Leica employees stay with the company their entire careers. Every piece of a Leica is handcrafted in-house. There are no plastic pieces in a Leica to wear out. The Leica recipe for success remains largely unchanged for over 125 years…it is about innovation, achieving excellence, and retaining employees who are committed to the company’s culture. Leicas are built to last more than a lifetime. These are characteristics that are not replicated by other camera manufacturers who have chosen to crank out thousands of new cameras every year. Their business,Odell is very different than Leica’s.

Though I would not drive a Ferrari in the locations where I photograph with a Leica. Beside a Ferrari does not produce anything, definitely not photographs and a living for tens of thousands of photographers.

Why Leica charges so much money for range finder cameras is unconscionable. I don’t care that they only make a limited number of them. They should go the way of DSLR’s. I am not saying they are not good cameras because they are. They are just way overpriced for what they do.

No offense, but European companies love to take something practical and just push it into luxury territory and charge absurd prices for status symbols. Watches, cameras, cars, sunglasses… they make something into high fashion, and then reap the profits.

They so happen to treat their employees better and this has a cost. They also understood that quality matters and provides them with an area/niche where they can compete with non-European productions that do not provide that has their focus is low-cost.
