一起徠呀！徠卡相機的一切 徠卡出了那麼多相機 最好的是哪一台？

Hey what's up, my name is Lucas. I'm a photographer and filmmaker based out of West Michigan. Welcome to my channel. Today, we are going to be talking about the best Leica cameras for your different use cases. I'm going to be going based off of what is available on their website. There's a lot of used and discontinued cameras that are just incredible from Leica. But I wanted to give kind of a best use case for each one that's available today. Brand new and I just want to clarify this is all opinion. So some things might work better for you than what I think that they could be. But at the end of the day, this is my opinion and what I think the best use case for each Leica camera body So let's jump off. I've got it all marked down below. So if you want to just jump around and do the ones that interest you, that's fine. If you want to listen to me nerd out about a bunch of different Leica cameras, that is fine as well. So let's jump in with film because if you are shooting film and you want a brand new camera, Leica has you covered in 2023. I think that the best camera that you can buy brand new from Leica is the Leica MP. It has a really beautiful rangefinder that doesn't flare and it's got built-in metering and it's just an all-around solid camera. It's based on the classic Leica M rangefinder style, which the M in Leica M stands for the German word for rangefinder. That's actually why it was named that. So the Leica M is probably the best. But if you want something that has a bit more of a classic look, the reissued Leica M6 is incredible. It's actually got the same, actually a lot of people say it's just rebadged Leica MP because it's got the same viewfinder, internals and everything. It just has the Leica M6 badges on it, which actually I have one of the original ones. This is my Leica M6 from 1985. You notice it has the Leica Lights badge on it, just like the Leica Lights badge on this. And that is because before 1986, Leica was actually the Leica Lights company and the cameras that they made were Leica Lights cameras until they shortened it to Leica, which is Leica Lights camera shortened. So it's kind of fun. And it's cool to have one of these original ones, mine's from 1985 and they started manufacturing in 1984 of the M6. So those would be the two film cameras that I would suggest. But an honorary mention to the Leica M4. I think that is an incredible film camera, especially for the value you can generally find them a little bit over a thousand dollars. And they are really great. The only thing you're going to be missing on it is it doesn't have an internal meter. So but if that's not an issue to you, then that's fine. OK, so I think next up is hobbyists. So if you're a hobbyist, I think that you and you're going to shoot on Leica. I think the best camera to get is an M camera. And so the best M camera is the M11 at this point. I think the M11 is incredible with its like 60 megapixel sensor that can have triple resolution. So 60, 36 and 18 megapixels. It is a tank and it's got some really great modern features on it, like USB-C connectivity and charging. So you can sync via USB cord to your phone or your computer and you can also do it wirelessly and have the Leica Photos app, which is one of the best photo apps that I've ever used. So the Leica M11 would be great for hobbyists. And then I think the Leica SL2 would be the second best option for hobbyists. Just because I know a lot of people really love Leica for their M rangefinder cameras, but I've heard a lot of people that say that their vision is going bad or it's difficult to focus for them. But the Leica SL2 with its 47 megapixel sensor and the L mount really allows you to adapt the M lenses onto it while also having an EVF with focus peaking through the viewfinder or through the EVF. And so you can more easily focus on things. But I think that those would be great for hobbyists. And then the specialty spot would be the Q3 or Q2, just because you get a similar feeling to the rangefinder experience with it, but it's not really like a true rangefinder experience, which is fine. For street, I think the M11 or the M11 monochrome is the go-to option for that. I recently used an M11 monochrome and it was incredible. It had all of the same incredible features on the M11, but instead of 64 gigabytes of internal storage, I had 256 and it had 200,000 ISO. So, I mean, it was just incredible camera. I have nothing bad to say about the Leica M11 monochrome except for its price. But then I think if you're a street photographer, the Leica Q3 would probably be in the second spot, specifically if you are a 28 millimeter shooter because it is a fixed focal length lens or it is a fixed lens. And so if you shoot on 28 millimeters and you only want one camera body, then the Q3 or Q2 is going to be perfect for you. Then after that, I would say probably the Leica SL2S just because it's got a bit better buffering speed than the SL2 because it has a smaller megapixel sensor. So, for studio, I am tempted to say the Leica S3, which I'm sure a lot of people don't even know much about. But it's a, I believe, 64 megapixel medium format sensor. And I mean, yeah, 64 megapixels. It's a DSLR. It's a medium format DSLR. That's what the S stands for, the single lens reflex style. But it is incredible. I've heard nothing but great things about the Leica S3. But it does come at a high price. Brand new at $20,000 and then you need a lens on top of that. And those lenses are not cheap either. I think that the Leica SL2 is going to take the prize as being the best studio camera in Leica's lineup. Because it's got 47 megapixel full frame CMOS sensor. And the EVF is really bright. It's beautiful to look through. And it now has pro photo compatibility. So you can use their lights and sync seamlessly with their pro photo sync equipment, which is really nice. So I would say that that puts the SL2 in the number one spot for studio photography. Landscape and like animals or birds. I'd have to say the SL2 again. It's got incredible lens selection. You could pack away a 100-400, which is, I've heard, an incredible lens. I don't think Leica's made a bad lens for this system. You take out the Leica SL2 and it packs in a bag nicely. I mean, that 100-400 is a really heavy lens. But if you wanted to, you could just get a 24-90 and the 100-400. And that's a full landscape and animal kit right there. You'd be set and be very happy with that. And then I also put the Q3 on. Because that is just a camera that I think you can really throw in a bag, forget about, go for a hike, go backpacking, whatever. And then it's just there and you can take incredible photos with it. So I think that those would be great for landscape photography and then for wedding photographers. Personally, I would suggest the Leica SL2S. Because it has a 24-megapixel sensor. So you're not going to be bogged down by taking thousands of photos and having buffering time and everything. And also it has two SD card slots. So you have redundancy on a wedding day. And you've got an incredible prime lens set. So I know plenty of photographers that do use the SL2S as their main and they run two of them. I also think that if you ran two, one SL2, one SL2S, that would go really well on a wedding day as well. It's kind of like running an R5 and an R6 on the Canon system. Having a higher megapixel and then a lower megapixel one as well. I think it'd be cool if you ran a 24-70 or 24-90 on the Leica SL2. And then the prime of your choice on a SL2S. And those would really help marry those together. I think that'd be great. And also I think just throwing in a M11 or M10 would be really cool. Especially I think if you're doing weddings. Like a silver M11 would be really cool to just kind of like get people going. It's a little different.It's a little bit fun. Or you could be like the goat when it comes to weddings and Leicas. Bench high and shoot on two M10s. I think he talks extensively about Leica M10s. I think the M11 would be an incredible switch if you're a wedding photographer. Because it does have that internal storage. So there is some backup of the photos that you're taking. It's 64 gigabytes.It's not a lot. But if you were looking for more there's 256 in the M11 monochrome. And honestly that might not be a bad idea. Because you could get some really great low light black and white photos. On a wedding day.Just saying. And that they look great. And as far as a hybrid photo and video shooter. This is where I feel like I fall the most in. And that would be the Leica SL2S coming in in the absolute number one spot. Being able to record raw video externally in an Atomos Ninja or Blackmagic recorder is huge. Being able to have that 422 10 bit internal recording 4K. It's just a beast of a camera. And at the end of the day it is the best hybrid camera I've ever used. I've used Canon, Sony, Nikon. And they've all been fine. But using this Leica system has been a dream. And there are little quirks. Once you get past the autofocus and everything. Which I'm hoping that they fix in the Leica SL3. Then you're golden. It's all good to go. The camera can't be absolutely perfect. But it is almost as close to a perfect hybrid camera as you can get. And then in second place I would put the SL2. Just because it's the exact camera. Just with a higher megapixel sensor. And the ability to shoot 5K. If the SL2 could record ProRes raw external. I think that it might have a chance of being the best one. But we'll see. I mean the SL3 very well could have the triple resolution sensor. With 60, 36 and 18 megapixel sensor sizes. And we'll see how that pans out. But I'm excited to see the future of the SL3 and the SL lineup. So that brings it pretty much it. If you're an everyday carry. I would say a Leica Q3 would be perfect. I personally use a Leica M10 as my everyday carry. But that's just because I already have Leica M lenses that I really love. If I didn't have those lenses. I would have a Leica Q of some sort. Just because the 28mm focal length is my personal favorite. And if I didn't already have a 28mm Summicron. I probably would have had a Leica Q2. When I was in the market for a new everyday carry. I am definitely interested in checking out the Q3. But it's not like my highest priority. I'm happy with my Leica M10 for now. I'd love to get an M11 monochrome as an everyday carry. But the Q3 is impressive. I do like the ability to film video on an everyday carry. So we'll see how that goes. And then if you're a collector. I mean if you're a collector. You already know where you're going to start at. You already have your eye on some cameras I'm sure. And I'm sure it's some sort of M or like one of the classic. But I think that this silver Leica SL2 is sick. Probably not in the cards for me. But you grab one of these and just hold on to it for a while. I'm sure that it will be worth something in the future. But who knows. That's always a gamble. But anyways. If you've made it to this point. Thank you so much for watching. And I hope I didn't ramble on too much for you. And I hope that it answered some questions. At least about my opinion on where I see things landing. With the Leica lineup. So if you've got any questions. Please comment them down below.
