Go back to the first page in the Leica Q subforum where 'The Leica Look' is discussed and you will be able to read about the origins of why lenses from Leitz and Zeiss rendered differently all those years ago...

As is famously-known the 'Leica Look' has existed for over 80 years so how does that even begin to tie-in with a "Leica Digital camera and sensor designed by Leica"? This matter isn't even under the slightest dispute in any shape or form. Seriously, Anthony, give the reality some serious consideration.

Film stocks have many looks and can’t be all categorized as the Leica Look. Is Ektar 100 a Leica Look? Or Fuji film, or any film stock? But for me a MD262 has a sensor made in Belgium with Leica’s specifications. The Summicron Rigid paired with the MD is designed by Leica. All I’m saying is for a “true” Leica Look it must have a pedigree of the sum of its components from Leica…!

Not only that one, I must say that I use many more devices from Leitz/Leica I think not available elsewhere. For many decades, those lenses are "unique" (in my point of view) and when I happend to use many "same" lenses (= same naming but different periods or cosmetics), I appreciate the quite visible differences (if not always) then I say to myself "this is high artisanal creations" not available when other do industrialisation. ...0 Replica/IIIg/II/M3/M-D/M 60/ Monochroms/so many lenses are (not all) among them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
