What's it like to switch from Canon to Leica?

I came uninvited. I am an interior designer, not a creator in the field of photography. I use both Canon and Leica. Canon is 5D4 and 1DX, Leica is M 10/0,35/1.4. Tell me about my experience and feelings. It's good to work in Canon and shoot your favorite subjects. Leica, which has always been in my heart, was put in my backpack last year. I put it in my backpack every day. Macular focusing, focusing evaluation and hyperfocal distance are all characteristics of Leica. When your eyes are focused, your hands are already turning the crescent wrench, and you will soon get used to it. At first, I was worried that I couldn't keep up with the focus, but it took me several months to do whatever I wanted ~ Leica slowed down my photography and made me think more ~ I took Canon and Leica to the ancient town of Luocheng a few weeks ago.

Hello everyone! I haven't played Canon, but I have changed from Nikon to Leica.

One is to learn from blind shot. At first, I didn't adapt to Leica's manual focusing, but I really slowed down the pace of taking pictures, consciously learned from blind shot, and turned my attention from scenery to humanity. The experience is good.

The second is to learn to zoom with your feet. Leica M is a fixed-focus lens, and I want to get a better composition. In addition, Leica M has no lens with too small or too large focal length. The picture is the right size and can only be scaled with your feet.

The third is to be more cautious. Leica M has only 24 million pixels, and its continuous shooting function is weak and its equipment is expensive. Pay more attention to the use frequency of the shutter. If you are not satisfied with the first time, press the shutter again. It will be easy after a small amount.

Fourth, the photos are clearer. It is not clear whether Leica camera is really good or the lens is outstanding, and the photos are clearer than Nikon. However, it is almost impossible for Leica M to shoot macro. I tried to shoot plum blossoms, which was not ideal.

The fifth is to appreciate the color of Leica. Leica has charming colors, which is the biggest reward for my use of Leica over the years. It must be admitted that everyone has personality preferences. In my opinion, Leica's color performance is as thick as oil painting, and its photo saturation is stronger than Nikon's. I can't be familiar with PS skills, so I can only rely on the camera to surprise me.

I am a multi-repair user, users of Canon 1ds3, 5d3, eos3, Sony a7r, Fuji xt2, Panasonic g9 and Leica me. Every machine except Panasonic has been used for a long time. Let me tell you how I feel,

1. I bought Leica on impulse at that time, and now I feel my flesh hurts. Until now, I only have a 35mm f2 lens, which is too expensive.

2. In terms of parameters, Leica can't be said to be the best camera or lens, especially the fuselage. Look at dxo.

3. Many people have made a lot of ab comparisons in order to refute the color of Leica. To be honest, I can't tell the difference after reading it. I used me, m9, mp, m 10, mm, sl, Q, although each color is different. But my intuitive feeling is that as long as my me is below iso640, the color of Leica will always be a surprise. When I ps, it is basically difficult for other cameras to bring out the feeling of Leica. When adjusting Leica, it is basically fine-tuning, and the color is not as good as the original.

Leica is for yourself. Don't buy it if you don't like it. Don't buy Leica for its reputation. Only when you play photography for a while, get familiar with the theoretical knowledge, and then go to the physical store to feel the pure Leica lineage, you will forget about it. Final decision.

He still uses me, first, because he is a ccd, and second, because he is old now, he is distressed by money. Leica is too fucking expensive. Although I think it is irreplaceable, the proportion is very small. Now I use Fuji belt 23mm at most, mainly for convenience.

6. When it comes to picture quality, don't worry. Now the technology has improved, and the quality of m43 is good, not to mention apsc and Quan Huafu. It is more practical to spend more money on a large aperture lens. As long as you don't make a living by photography, the difference in image quality doesn't matter. What dark noise, dynamic range doesn't matter.

The first three Leica and the last two Canon are slightly ps. As for the color, see for yourselves.

I can share my experience in using Canon and Leica.

I use both Canon and Leica. Canon 5D series is used for work at ordinary times, and Canon 1dx is used for shooting scenery when going out. I usually put the Leica M240 in my bag when I go out.

First of all, the positioning of Leica and Canon is very clear.

Leica: Have fun.

Canon: Work.

Looking forward to the release of a movie by Leica M (I mean the Leica M manual series) is simply a torment. Manual focusing is too inaccurate, and low light is very eye-consuming.

Secondly, it feels different when you take it out. Although Leica M's manual focusing is uncomfortable, taking pictures with it will make you feel delicious. It's good for Leica M to take some still life. Focus slowly and compose slowly. Therefore, the camera shutter number using Leica M will not be too high, and it will not be continuous shooting. It is also a good feeling to taste slowly.

Finally, people who like Leica don't mind the shortcomings of Leica, and many people have nothing to touch. Figure 1 shows the Leica M240 at hand. Look at the age marks on the fuselage.

Leica is suitable for slow taste, suitable for play, and Canon is suitable for work.

This is the essential difference between the two.

The Canon Party came, and the door of M6 Leica M 10 was closed.

Canon is an all-around warrior. He can do anything. There is no limit. Professionals have nothing to say about using Canon, but it is too big, and they can't wait to recite a bunch of lenses when traveling. Auto focus, exposure, never be stingy with your shutter, and delete half the film.

Leica users are mostly one machine and two mirrors, which is convenient to carry and always think. Before shooting, the picture has been presented in their minds, and what the camera does is to obey. This is the essence of photography.

Leica's metallic texture is very suitable for moving the party. Even if you don't take a picture, you have to take it out and touch it twice and press it twice. The shoulder straps are slung sideways, and the space is full.

Judging from the film, the JPG directed by Leica M 10 has a unique flavor, lacking explosions without losing dark details. The unique colors of blue and yellow are fascinating and intoxicating in low light environment.

M6 filming, let alone playing, is an experience that only film makers have experienced.

If you love 135 camera, you must play Leica.

The first three m 10 jpg are directly printed by machine, the middle three M6 rolls are ekata 100, and the last three M6 Fuji X-TRA400 rolls are all 50mm 1.4a lenses.

If you can replace Canon with Leica, you can be sure of two things: one is to eat without taking pictures, and the other is to find your own shooting mode or theme.

The charm of Leica is not expensive. Leica's lenses can be applied to a relatively limited number of topics. Besides, Leica is not easy to use. In other words, people who can use Leica well are at least experienced enthusiasts, if not photographers. For many people, Leica is just vanity, even regret after buying it.

Leica's most suitable subject for shooting is human photography. Humanities are hard to shoot. The difficulty lies in whether your cultural literacy can control the theme, whether your thinking breadth and width are enough, whether you have a critical eye on society and whether you can find different things.

At the same time, you should have considerable technical ability.

Leica is mainly a fixed-focus lens. Using the focusing head well requires at least two skills. One is the grasp of distance. Some people say that concentration depends on walking, which is true, but this is for beginners who are focused. The correct use of fixed focus is that you know where you are going before you go, not by blindness. Lens sense, this is the lens sense. Playing zoom is a lens feeling that can't be finished for a lifetime. So you see, people who play Leica rarely argue with zoom, because I can understand what you say, and you may not understand what I say at all.

Another skill is the understanding of aperture. Many times, we need to control the depth of field, which is the core element of the expressive force of the picture. The relationship between depth of field and image quality is closely related. Such as the maximum aperture available. I need the atmosphere of 1.4 aperture, and I need the image quality of 1.4 aperture. At this point, Leica is an option. You know where to go, you know how big the aperture is to control the depth of field, and you know how to use this depth of field control to grasp the theme of shooting. People think you just walked over and pressed the shutter. In fact, you are not in the same dimension as most people who play with cameras, and your way of thinking is completely different.

This is Leica. It has something to do with price, but it has little to do with it. The real difference lies in the understanding of the world. Using Leica is very simple. You can buy it if you have money. It is difficult to use Leica well, and the difficulty lies in your personal quality. This problem is insoluble for most people. Just like painting, children can draw, but few people can draw well. So is photography.

Because of fame and nobility, there are several levels and a premise to be clear about when using Lycra.

The first is a premise. Generally speaking, people who take photos with Lycra (not pretending) are not novices, but are basically experienced or old birds; The circle is smaller than the SLR.

Ok, let's talk about it from the following levels:

One is the plot. Lycra has a long history and has been a famous machine since the film era. Influenced by parents or older photographers, Lycra has been implanted in the bones, and other machines can ignore its existence.

The second is the pursuit. Dewei, in the photographer's mind, is the embodiment of God. Even if PS is omnipotent now, the original flavor can't deceive itself.

The third is the gift received. This kind of person can't say.

The fourth is the most relevant to the problem, that is, qualitative change. Such photographers have experienced the film age, and digital machines are everywhere in the field of photography, or they have participated in numerous competitions and won many awards. Finally, he felt that many of them were a bit boring and took so many photos that his original enthusiasm for photography degenerated into the impulse to take out his camera. Too lazy to shoot. So I threw away all my digital cameras, bought a Lycra, and matched it with a 50F0.95 lens, which was enough. I feel that I need to take some small scenery when I go out, which is not very gregarious. Even if it's all scenery, I will find some places where there are few people to shoot and have fun. Occasionally sweeping the street, but not persistent; Shoot the flowers on the balcony at home, the fish in the fish tank, the snow not far from home in special weather, and enjoy the scenery in the rain; When you meet a photographer who is familiar or cognitive, you will not take the initiative to say hello. After being recognized as "an old man" or "a teacher", you will only smile and say a few words. Sage-like style exits the three realms, not in the five elements.

And so on.

Ha ha.

It is difficult to use Leica. May 20 19, Najing Valley, Yunnan, Leica m240+50/ 1.4.

In fact, the price is different, so case B is different. I want to compare it with boarding a Lv bag. The so-called taste is true, the color is good, and the atmosphere is good, but that is on the premise that it is not too late.

Let's take a look at Hasselblad and digital back.

Canon is working, and the 1d series of capture artifacts, thanks to the computer-programmed shooting mode and electronic focus tracking characteristics, take crisp and neat photos.

On the other hand, Leica is more fun. Enjoy the silky feel of thick metal with your hands. It sounds a bit contradictory, but only when you use it can you really feel that wonderful feeling. Obviously it is metal, but thanks to excellent mechanical design and materials, it rotates wonderfully. Suitable for no hurry, calm and steady shooting, more inclined to static subject photography.

Canon's body and lens are pink, while Leica's combination is slightly deceptive, but the algorithm of machine firmware processing photos is just right. The sharp place is sharp, and the milk is local, which is called "German taste".
