Leica M5 - IMPRESSIVE FILM CAMERA
In this weeks video we take a look at my Dad's 1971 Leica M5. It's been through a lot! I used it for two years in college and and then two years of freelance news work. It has seen its share of use. Not much time wise but it saw more use than most people's cameras see in a life time.
So I sent it off to have the battery compartment converted to 1.5V (which I did not need to do) and have a CLA done. It turned out I had to have it done twice as the first person did a horrible job.I decided to send it off to Sherry Krauter at Golden Touch do the job and it came back just fine.

I just picked up a M5 a few weeks ago and love it. I upgraded from a M3 because I wanted the in body light meter. I have a shoe mounted meter but I couldn't stand how it looks on the gorgeous leica bodies.
@KirkWilliamsonphotography
@KirkWilliamsonphotography Год назад
Yes the M meter does take away from the look of M cameras. That’s why I use the Pocket Lightmeter app for my phone. Serves the same purpose but you can save a log of your settings even a note along with a photo all in the same file.

I own one, bought at a lower-than-market price from a friend who's saving to buy a car, and I've been using it with my LTM glass (specifically the 45mm f2.8 and 50mm f2 Super Rokkors, and the "Japanese Summilux" Canon 50mm f1.4, alongside the Industar-61 L/D 55mm f2.8) fitted with an LTM-M mount adapter. And honestly, this setup has served me well and has taught me the beauty of the M system - without giving in to the fad of the M system. Additionally, the M5 is not a camera that you choose to use, the M5 is a camera that chooses you to use it, and to those it chooses, it blesses them with a unique M shooting experience that's never replicated anymore: easy shutter wheel access, a center-the-needle exposure indicator, well-balanced size (allows for use of heavier lenses without upsetting the camera's center of gravity), and lower-then-usual price due to low demand. Howver should you buy or use one, know that it is the hardest M camera to be maintained: its parts are rare candies and only a few repair facilities accept to repair the body. Nonetheless, being the last camera built using the adjust-and-fit method of construction, the M5 is a sturdy body that demands to be used and loved for years to come.
@KirkWilliamsonphotography
@KirkWilliamsonphotography 4 месяца назад
Very well said. Although I’m not sure I agree about Leica glass being a “fad”. I have a 35mm Summaron from the 1950’s LTM with M adapter that is very inexpensive and is amazing. Agree with the Canon 1.4 statement. Love my Leica 35 Summicron, 50 Summilux and Leica 21 Super Elmar
@studiosnch
@studiosnch 4 месяца назад
​@@KirkWilliamsonphotographyAhhh, I was referring to the "fad" of just choosing the M3, M2, M4, and M6 as one's Leica M bodies of choice. As with lenses, I'm with you on rather using LTM lenses rather than the M-mount lenses for my M5 (allows flexibility of use, given that I also use a IIIf) and lower price (despite the need for another purchase for a correct LTM-M mount adapter).

If you can get past the non-traditional M-series body shape/size, this is the best M-series Leica ever made - features and built quality. Like you mentioned, finding a good repair service can be a problem, and Sherry Golden Touch and Don DAG are the only people I would trust for working on them.

@KirkWilliamsonphotography

My Fuji contacts never open their mouths about new gear. Yes the M5 does not deserve the hate it gets. It fits in my hand better than the M3 does.

I just started at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, this is a great look into a work flow. I also acquired a M5 earlier last year. I have the same version as you have. I went back to film when I was in junior college a few years back and I really love the whole process, I also have converted several of my peers into film addict's so I guess one could blame me for a few cents of the rise in price of film recently. But I also tend to find and shoot expired film quite a bit. Some frames look great, some look like Pollock used them as a reference. Glad I found your channel.

Great video, thanks for posting. I have been using the Nikon ES2 film digitizing adapter on my D780 for almost two years. I have digitized several thousand Kodachrome slides from the 1980s. I will be working on my film negatives next. I have purchased some film recently and will hopefully be exposing some new images to digitize. I will have my film developed, but I'll digitize the negatives myself with the D780. I feel my negatives are a permanent record. All of my photos of my grandchildren are digital and I worry about the permanence of this. I plan on shooting some film portraits of them soon. My Kodachrome slides are a permanent record of my children growing up between 1984 and 2007. I don't have this for my grandchildren. I know of several instances recently where some families lost 10 years worth of digital family photos due to improper cloud or hard drive storage or other issues. Several museum curators have recently commented that digital photography may cause us to lose 40 years or more of history because of storage issues. I may go back to film for my landscape work as well. I like having those negatives, being able to improve them in lightroom and print them on my Canon pro 300 is a great option. I think in many ways the limitations of film are actually a good thing. Love your channel.
@KirkWilliamsonphotography
@KirkWilliamsonphotography Год назад
Keith great stuff! A friend of mine is going to start digitizing with a Phase One. When he gets it set up I’m going to run my most important negs and slides through it. BUT I’m also going to print my best digital work onto 8.5x11 archival paper and store them away in light tight archival boxes. They should be good for about 100 years.

Hi Kirk, Vey interesting video and so happy to see you using your dad's camera after it's been fixed correctly after all these years! I'd like to see a comparison photo(s) between the Leica M5 and a Fuji X-T5 or X-T4. As far as I'm concerned, I'm sticking with my Fuji X-T4 with a 16-80F4 zoom lens. I bet your dad is looking down at you with a great big smile!! 😀
@KirkWilliamsonphotography
@KirkWilliamsonphotography Год назад
Thank you Fairstamp for bearing with me. I wanted to do something different. I know my Dad is looking down saying I’m so glad he is using my gear and not selling it for quick cash. I hope to do some shooting with both cameras. Probably with the 23 f2 on the Fuji and the 35 f2 on the Leica just to try and make things equal kind of. If I can nail down a film recipe for the Fuji that simulates Portra that would be fun.
@chenmunn
@chenmunn Год назад
Thanks for your video Kirk! I agree with you that film photography gives that unspoken experience. Would you say that using the M5 gives that extra 'feeling' and satisfaction because of its unique features like large shutter dial and metering? I'm eyeing the m5 too!
@KirkWilliamsonphotography
@KirkWilliamsonphotography Год назад
The difference with this camera is that it's bigger and easier to hold - along with the larger shutter speed dial. It's a joy to use. Just be careful buying one. If you find it at a camera store see if you can find out the maintenance history. Like a recent CLA.

My dad couldn't afford Leica back then. So he bought Kodak Retina IIc in 1954., on which I learned photography as a kid. Sadly, that camera isn't working anymore, course I can't find anybody who can fix it properly in my country...
