Nice pics, but could have been taken with any camera/lens..

Can you see the "Leica Look" between F4-F16??

That's amazing :) its an "I see Dead People" moment ;)

The Leica Look is summarized by great detail without the excessive sharpness by Leica M Lenses that have less glass because the flange distance in rangefinder’s is shorter resulting in better micro contrast …👀

My wife gave me the Leica look yesterday when I casually mentioned that I wanted to buy the new Noctilux 35mm when it’s released.

You’re lucky that looks never hurt anyone…🥸

She has no idea what a Noctilux is but the words ‘new’ and ‘Leica’ combined in the same sentence, trigger that look every time…

Is her expression mostly shocked, or mostly angry? And does it make any difference if you add the word “buy”? 😉

Her expression is the Leica Look, good micro contrast without getting hit with aggression …😂

Absolutely does make a difference. She’s used to hearing me talk about potential purchases but once it’s cemented, the look changes from ‘whatever’ to one of ‘you are joking right?’ For the months to follow, I better not complain about a single thing she purchases that’s for sure. In fact, I best never complain about a single thing she ever buys!

This is my experience of the Leica Look because in my opinion there is no such thing when it comes to cameras and lenses. The marketing people at Leica must have a field day with this saying.

Next time photograph her look to make sure it’s actually a Leica Look…👀

The Leica Look is real.

Leica lenses made for the M system rangefinder has an advantage, the flange distance in rangefinders is shorter so the lenses don’t require more glass to compensate for a longer distance.  Less glass gives better micro dynamics…👀

Leica Lenses designed for the M rangefinder system require less glass since the flange distance is shorter for rangefinder cameras.  Less glass gives more micro contrast and less aggressive sharpness resulting in the Leica Look…👀

Umm... The register distance of the M is about double the value of any modern EVF camera. The reason that they are smaller is that they cannot block the viewfinder too much.

Talking about flange distance not EVF…!

So am I. The M has double the value of about any camera on the market. (Except DSLRs Do they still exist?)

Isn’t the flange distance in rangefinder’s shorter, and do other manufacturers make M lenses with less glass as Leica…?
