I am actually thinking of going the other way. I need to hold a Zf to see how it feels, but I am pretty set on switching. My main thing is that I hate shooting the 50mm (my favorite lens) with the rangefinder. Between the crop lines and tnot being able to use the whole space of the view finder to see what I am shooting, it makes it for a less pleasing experience in my opinion, compared to a EVF. Camera built, color science and so on are amazing in the Leica. I just wish they put a EVF/Hybrid in it. Full disclosure, even in film, I always found that shooting a regular reflex is more pleasant than a rangefinder.

@@SourPlanet I think, folks mistake the more saturated and higher contrast files produced by a camera using a CCD as being film like. Which film I wouldn't know, TBH. They talk about Kodachrome, while I bet that 95% of all those going on about it have never seen a Kodachrome slide. In any case anyone could make a CMOS file look like a CCD in post. That M8 & M9 not having an AA filter helps with apparent sharpness ( this is a good thing IMHO ) not withsatnding. If you asked me whether I'd pay £2000.00+ for an M9, the answer is no. These have had their time, and I am sure they are still doing good work in the hands of a lot of competent photographer, but to make them out to be some sort of forgotten magic camera is wrong.

I would suggest a camera with aperture priority to ease them in more or where the settings are visible in the viewfinder. It's a professional camera too and for a beginner you can get, for example, an OM20 or M40 and they are cheaper and still use the same glass.

Very nice review. I have the same model of the Summicron 50mm and have been happily shooting it for 4 years now. I have also owned the Planar 50/2 and a heap of other 50's from Zeiss and Voigtlander, they were all very nice but I always came back to the Cron as my preferred choice. I'm just over halfway through a personal project with this lens, shooting 50 rolls of Tri-x and making 50 prints with my 50mm over a fifty week period. It's amazing how often a 50mm lens is all I need to make the pictures I want. So I think despite the price many people could buy one Leica body and this lens and spend years getting enjoyment from the combination.

A film scanner using a CCD sensor doesn't actually create the film look as implied in this video; the film creates the film look lol. For film look, shoot film. For something else which is also beautiful and worthwhile, shoot a good digital camera. They aren't meant to be similar.
@@SourPlanet I think, folks mistake the more saturated and higher contrast files produced by a camera using a CCD as being film like. Which film I wouldn't know, TBH. They talk about Kodachrome, while I bet that 95% of all those going on about it have never seen a Kodachrome slide. In any case anyone could make a CMOS file look like a CCD in post. That M8 & M9 not having an AA filter helps with apparent sharpness ( this is a good thing IMHO ) not withsatnding. If you asked me whether I'd pay £2000.00+ for an M9, the answer is no. These have had their time, and I am sure they are still doing good work in the hands of a lot of competent photographer, but to make them out to be some sort of forgotten magic camera is wrong.
To each their own
There is no magic but there is an objective difference in color compared to cmos. He likes it so to each their own.
Awesome video man! I have an M9 with a corroded sensor, but the corrosion is only visible at f8. Since I shoot mostly family stuff and open the apature at f4 or wider, the corrosion is fortunately not visible. And I got it for around 1000$ - therefore I can live with it. Keep up the great work!
That’s a great deal for a M9, at least you know you can get it repaired if you want, and you will be still be infront
same here, bit of corrosion but the output is just worth it...
It will corrode more over time, and might potentially break the whole sensor if it corrodes the golden wires. Some people offer to replace the cover glass over it for cheaper than the price mentioned in the video, but I'm not really sure if it's reliable or not.
I have the M Monochrom with a Leica replaced sensor and I love it. I agree it is not a film replacement, but it does save a bit of money with film stock and developing. My color work is with my M11. I do have the M5 for my true film shooting. Great video and great shots.
The M9M is one hell of a camera! Thanks for watching
Love mine. Thanks for the review! 😀
Thanks for watching!
That mustache gets girls pregnant just by them looking at it. M9 is a great camera make sure if you get one that the sensor is not corroded or has been updated.
Hahaha thanks man
Seems like Tom Selleck has taken over the channel 🙂
I’ve tried to shave it, but Em won’t let me now, it’s a permanent fixture
@@shootswithcoops Can't be blamed
the epson r-d1 will get you half way there
I’ve seen those go for insane prices these days, the concept of that camera is great. Wish they had kept going
powerful moustache, coops!

No kidding this is the 4th time for me watching this video before buying a new B&W films
Thanks mate, glad it helped!
It's a great camera. My only camera now after years of many different ones. I am not sure it's best for beginners though. I would suggest a camera with aperture priority to ease them in more or where the settings are visible in the viewfinder. It's a professional camera too and for a beginner you can get, for example, an OM20 or M40 and they are cheaper and still use the same glass.
I was just gifted an IV-A, I was wondering if anyone knows what greese I should be using on the seals
Any silicone grease will do, if your in Australia head to a BCF store and grab some Inox MX6 grease, that will do the job and it’s only $14
@@shootswithcoops thanks so much. I’ll hit up BCF.
Bit of a challenge for you - I've only got into shooting about a year ago and I've had the usual GAS but on the cheaper side of things. Despite it's age I keep coming back to my color-skopar on my Voigtlander Vito IIa. You can find Voigtlander vitos around it for peanuts, would really like to hear your thoughts on it.
I’ve only ever seen pictures of the Vito, never held one. But if you’ve found the camera and lens combo that’s best works for you and it’s cheap, you may have broken the matrix lol
I shoot with a D7100 and still use my D80 for both hobby and pro shooting. They produced great quality back then so why not now? I also enjoy the feel of the mechanical/ analog parts working when I depress the shutter button.
Great points
My camera is a canon 7d (yes it’s old but it’s all I could afford). The camera DEFINITELY has its limits, but I know the controls inside and out. Shoot with what makes you happy. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching
Well, others would say the Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50/1.8 is the best. I agree with them. :)
Will have to check that lens out if I can
Welcome back! Strange i find the 50 too tight for me. Sold the V4 and recently got the v3. Ive shot 1 roll so far and have yet to develop the roll. Hope it turns out fine. I love a 28 frame line
Thanks mate
Very nice review. I have the same model of the Summicron 50mm and have been happily shooting it for 4 years now. I have also owned the Planar 50/2 and a heap of other 50's from Zeiss and Voigtlander, they were all very nice but I always came back to the Cron as my preferred choice. I'm just over halfway through a personal project with this lens, shooting 50 rolls of Tri-x and making 50 prints with my 50mm over a fifty week period. It's amazing how often a 50mm lens is all I need to make the pictures I want. So I think despite the price many people could buy one Leica body and this lens and spend years getting enjoyment from the combination.
50 rolls in 50 weeks! That’s so cool
