Most are swayed by the beauty and think about usability after the fact. It’s a fine camera if you understand its limitations but yes the X2D is a much more versatile camera for most people

I disagree but I guess you tried it?

No prob

Thanks for watching

Not sure. I didn’t have such accessories.

You can change function buttons on the back. To what settings I’m not sure as I don’t have the camera

You do realise most reviewers are provided gear to test for a period of time then have to return. You think every car reviewer owns every car they drive? Every watch reviewer owns every watch? You can think of me as you wish, but your assumptions based on your comment here is incorrect

@@btonelli those aren’t reviewers, they are lackeys looking to advance their view count pretending to be objective so leica can slip them table scraps.

One is a 35 kit lens so to speak and one is an L Lens. It’s less than the 50 1.2, 85 1.2 and smaller, performs better than the Sigma 35 1.4 but there is no Sigma RF version so doesn’t matter, priced comparable to Sony 35mm f1.4 and yet some say it’s expensive. I find it funny I’ve watched a few videos, minimal examples. Maybe a handful of images and then they judge. Take it out and photograph with it. Real world usage is much better than pixel peeping

If you start looking at it in terms of dollar value and worth, you are gonna quickly find that almost all expensive lenses are terrible value for money vs. the cheaper options. I think your expectations are too high, this lens already outperforms the EF 35 f/1.4 L II which is one of the best 35mm lenses ever made. Does it outperform the Sony GM? Haven't seen any comparisons, but even if it's only on par with it then that's still amazing as the GM is probably the best 35 f/1.4 on the market. Before the Sony 35 GM, I think the EF 35 f/1.4 L II was the best 35mm out there, or top 3, so considering this lens beats that and also beats the Sigma 35 f/1.2 it's hard to complain too much I think. We're talking about some of the best 35s ever made here.

Thank you. I would say depends on your side of sculptors. If they are quite large you may want something lighter like the 38mm to get everything in frame but if they are small the 55 is good too. Most lenses are well corrected but there will be some slight vignetting wide open. It’s not something that bothers me much but I’m guessing you will be stopping down on the aperture to get everything in focus which will alleviate that.

No primes below 100 with this fast of aperture have OIS inside. 50 doesn’t 85 doesn’t etc.

Prob not for a couple years :)

@@tonygerassi1502 the R5 I had worked well with it and I’m sure the newer bodies will as well. I think it was a smart move by Canon. They are constantly getting complaints about expensive lenses so this release brings the price down but people are still complaining haha

@@alienwisconsin there is a ND holder for the rear of the lens that allows you to put one on

Perhaps you should try it at the store. Using it versus seeing specs is different.

@@joaquimvong indeed. It feels very good in the hands of

@@btonelli unfortunately I need to wait until Sept to get an unit in my region...

There are many quick to complain but haven’t used the lens. Glad you are enjoying it and I also liked the performance as well! Happy belated 4th!

Agree. Very odd.

Congrats and Happy Birthday!

Well I’m not here to impress Canon or anyone else. I’m here to review a lens. I did not see any such heavy vignetting as others mentioned. My images shown show it. Many people take a couple images and show just those and judge. I put up at least 15 or so showcasing a variety of situations and lighting. You can say what you like, but I’ve used the lens and my examples are here for people to see. Have you used it?

@@btonelli Then please make a video, maybe with Canon, educating us how the optical miracle of such a small front lens works without weaknesses. I love to learn and will loudly applause. So long physics is against Canon and your review not digging into the weaknesses.

@@Ben_Stewart yes it’s definitely interesting especially price. This Canon is really designed for video and photography versus the Nikon which would be photos only I feel

@@claudianreyn4529 same here. Seems like a lot of unnecessary drama

@@leinweberhedderman thank you 🙏

@@marcgilles4520 thanks. I really don’t get it. It feels the same as the 85 and 50 f1.2 in terms of build quality, it’s smaller, less expensive (that’s what a lot of people complained about) and it’s a fast! Seems like a lot of the complaints are a bit unfounded

Plastic build? Nothing new, Sony have been doing that for years with GM line, and so have Canon even on EF mount... Rattle? Non issue, it's meant to be like that because of how the elements are positioned, it's not a build quality thing. Don't know what people are complaining about TBH. You're getting a lens that significantly outperforms the more expensive 35 f/1.4 L II in a smaller form factor at a lower launch price. Woe is you!

@@marcgilles4520 All RF prime lenses are plastic, so why is this something “ to get used to”? 😝

@@salvamando1Leave it to Canon to make a polarizing product lol. Like I said , once creators give it a chance, it’ll be looked at more favorably.

@@marcgilles4520agree.

I’m sorry but it’s not any of these things. I tested the lens and I looked at every image and saw nothing of the sort. Is there some fringing in extreme situations? Sure, but outside of harsh backlight I didn’t see it. In addition I didn’t see the vignetting and distortion that others say the see. I don’t own a Canon camera and have no skin in the game. I just call it like I see it

Just curious, how is this lens at 1.5k USD an insult? Especially when you see the prices of all their other L primes. Honest question

Please explain how this is an insult when it's already proven to be one of the best 35 1.4s ever made, as it significantly outperforms the 35 f/1.4 L II which was extremely well regarded - and it does it at a lower price. See the CameraLabs comparison.

@@btonelli you get for less money a sigma 35mm F1.2 and for half the price the 1.4 version both way better deals than this atrocious lens. L lenses should be absolute top end lenses now we get slightly cheaper yet still ultra expensive lower tier L lenses that aren't worth the money. You still pay way more than for third party lenses but get worse performance. Makes absolutely no sense.

@@DriveCancelDC lol what? One of the best 35mm ever made? What are u even talking about? The price performance ratio is horrendous! This tells me everything i need to know that this lens is not worth it's money: ruclips.net/video/_a0A1R_xikU/видео.htmlsi=k8Uzaz2g-EoXgxu6

@@bamhamerhave you tried the Sigma 35mm f1.2? It’s slower AF and massive. Also not made for RF. Look, I’ve tried every 35mm on the market and I would rank this in the top 5 or so. It’s crazy fast for AF, image quality is good, sharp enough at 1.4 and well corrected for the most part. No lens is perfect but Canon did a good job here when you take away the noise and actually use the lens

One has a built in lens and M4/3 the other APS-C camera with options to change lenses. It depends on your needs really and how you photograph. Just from a standpoint of flexibility the XT30 will give you more but for compact then the D-Lux 8

Not sure. Perhaps they didn’t want to make a smaller looking digital M camera which really is what Fujifilm did. Recreate the M and make it APSC.

It’s significantly smaller compared to the X100VI. I originally got the X100VI to have a compact camera that fits in a pocket. After three months of shooting with the Fuji, I wasn’t impressed and sold it at a small profit. I then got this D-Lux 8 since Friday. It’s half the weight (I had a grip and Squarehood on my X100V), much smaller (it actually fits in a pocket), and the zoom is fantastic to have. Yes, it has less resolution, but the X100VI’s lens isn’t really capable of handling its 40MP sensor. Plus it’s noisy too. The Fuji is a fun camera but it didn’t do it for me. This d-lux is not my main camera, but it’s the perfect EDC camera. And that was what I was looking for.

@@1danemos great summary on it. Glad you are enjoying the camera

Yes I agree it’s a bit odd but it has the A option to control from the camera. Didn’t really bother me as much as I thought it would

Yes it is

I didn’t see much distortion in that way. In terms of LOCA I would say depends, as there are plenty of people that film with vintage lenses that have loca and it’s part of the look. Again if you want optically perfect then I guess a different story. But it has a look to me that didn’t bring up much concern

@@btonelli Really? Check James Readers review: uncorrected distortion is horrible for a Lseries prime!

@@btonelli I like the sharpness and colour rendition of this RF 35 1.4L, but LOCA can be very annoying for portrait shoots - this is why I also traded my otherwise brilliant EF 85 1.4L for the RF 85 1.2L.

I checked it and based on my images I don’t see what he is seeing to that extent. I’m not adjusting distortion or anything like that or reducing vignetting. If I did see it I would say but at least my copy performed well in those ways. Honestly I think some people just over analyse for the sake of it instead of just going out and taking photos. If the composition and subject is on point not many people care about the small things.

​@@tom_k_dSo correct it. A few clicks. Who cares?

I understand your viewpoint and agree, would be nice for someone to do this the way you described. I can say though most camera today will have significant video features as more creators shoot video as well.

Thanks for the support! If you have the last version D-Lux 7, the 8 will only be a cosmetic and UI update. If you have older D-Lux cameras then yes this will be a good update. That’s probably the best way I can put it. Hope this helps

Thanks for watching. Most primes below 100mm don’t have IBIS like this. Canon doesn’t, Nikon doesn’t, Leica doesn’t etc. Most of the full frame Canon cameras have a wobble. This was shown a while ago even with the 15-35. Peter McKinnons vids would have this and others talked about it. When I was using it I didn’t notice any wobble but I’m doing slow movements, not vlogging or walking with the lens. I read all these comments prior to testing and was looking out for many of these things, I just didn’t see it or perhaps the way I tested didn’t yield those results.

Understand. Wish it had it too, but to the cameras credit it’s fast AF

I’m probably the wrong person to ask as I don’t use Pixel Shift. Perhaps ask Matt Irwin as I believe he does use this feature more.

@@csc-photo I agree. Would be great to see some updates on lenses. For me the 50mm f1.2 definitely needs an update. It’s really big compared to what’s out there

@@btonelliyou present it’s imperfections as ‘cinematic’. Can’t given its price

@@mainmain5303 compared to other fast primes in Canon’s lineup this is less expensive so explain how this is overpriced?

@@alfabravo80 oh no I’m sorry to hear that. It’s a hard lens to get second hand still.

@@btonelli Yup. Although this new 35 L looks like a great successor. Btw, I really like your reviews. Keep up the good work.

@@alfabravo80 thank you for the kind words 🙏🙏

That lens is a jewel. I hope you get another copy.

@@crispin8888 thanks! They are getting more protective now it seems. When I ask they say no now

@btonelli Unfortunately, you are right. I just stand still for perhaps five minutes, 'blend in', and take a photograph.

@@crispin8888 I’ll try that but being ang moh a bit tough lol!

@btonelli Same here. Sorry for the 8888 misdirection ! 🤓

I don't think you really needed the fetish caveat here 😆

Let me see if I can put together some photos in a google drive folder. Give me a day or two

@@seansavery1186 I thought so as well but it happened even when I was aware of my nose touching

My personal take is Leica has achieved all it can now with the M lenses and in time others will catch up. The latest APO 35 and the older 50 are phenomenal lenses that still have the edge over third party lenses but of course at a premium. The Summilux line is getting close focusing but this is also being done by other companies now. The M will always be the foundation for Leica but in time it will be the SL system that dictates the future I feel

​@@btonelli You're right that Leica is probably focusing most of their R&D on the SL system (and possibly the rumored medium format system). This reminds me of the technical video (ruclips.net/video/_vyoAIOTIcs/видео.html) from Leica showcasing the SL system and the 35mm SL APO lens. They claim that the 35mm SL APO can resolve a full-frame sensor with more than 100MP resolution, which doesn't yet exist for consumers, among other innovations. The Leica M 35mm and 50mm APOs are excellent, using a lot of premium glass materials, which somewhat justifies their high price (I guess this is also true for the 28mm Summilux). I don't own any APO lenses, but I've heard that the Voigtlander APO Lanthar 35mm F2, which I have for my M cameras, has very similar image quality but is larger in size and does not close focusing capabilities.

Thank you 🙏

@@PeterB-Dlux I asked about the processor but no response thus far. I’m guessing it’s probably mostly the same but I don’t want to assume.

@@jshanni2066 yes they have High Contrast BW and BW. Both are really nice and you see them here in the photos shown

@@argersgulka5761 perhaps we don’t mention it as it’s a given that you wouldn’t take a camera out like this in a storm or rain. This is not a pro camera. It’s a fun compact that you would naturally take out with good weather. It’s like reviewing a Ferrari and telling people don’t take this off road, it’s not designed for that. The answer most would say is of course. I don’t see people sitting in heavy rain with a D-Lux 8 trying to take photos.

@@btonelli You try to make it sound like it’s common sense. And I’m not talking here for extreme conditions, the lens literally breathes in dust and it’s a common issue for whoever owned the previous versions ( LUMIX and Leica alike ). The “Dust in the sensor “ issue is a real problem and they could have tried to improve on that. It’s silly how everyone is sugarcoating things about a camera that just got a redesign. It’s beautiful and one of the first cameras that I really appreciated, but it’s flaws need to be mentioned for transparency.

@@argersgulka5761 understand. if I experienced the flaws I would mention. As stated with the focus box. I saw it, it bothered me and I mentioned.

@@btonelli Oh I do understand. ‘if you experienced the flaws’? We all know how it work with certain gears. You might get a problem like dust in the sensor at any point, day one or after a long time. All you try to do is create GAS just like everyone else who gets sent any type of gear to review. Why bother anyway, we all should know better…

@@argersgulka5761 I try to have a conversation and you accuse of me of trying to create GAS to buy a camera simply because I like it and I did t see the issues you brought up. Let me ask you, should I make up a situation I didn’t experience to appease those that are looking for flaws or should I be honest and say what I did and did not experience and be truthful. Love to hear your thoughts on this.

Here are the responses. People pay for watches that have similar movements for years with minor cosmetic changes and don’t complain. People pay for cars with subtle enhancements but still run on engines that are similar to the last few versions. No one complains. Most say it’s not a real leica but really don’t know how most modern Leica’s are made. But they don’t complain People will line up outside Chanel for a leather bag that isn’t much better than Coach but will spend five times because of the logo and no one complains. My answer to you is people see value in things that go beyond just logic. this is part of life when it comes to consumerism and people’s choice. And a bonus: try the camera, feel it and use it. It’s different than looking around a RUclips video or a photo of it.

I would say pick up the camera and use it. Sure some of the components are similar but using it is a different feel altogether
