Great photos of Steph, and the cats are just too adorable! :)

I downloaded "L1020118.DNG" to compare the ISO 50 to my Canon EOS-5D3, and the difference was very noticeable. You also nailed the focus brilliantly.. Thanks Matt & Steph 😊👍🏼

@a-muse6567 6 лет назад

I’m very impressed with Steph and her ability to withstand the cold in a crop top! And kudos to you Matt. I’m a baby when it comes to the cold, but I’ve been in that shooting situation before and I know how hard it is to focus when your hands are literally freezing. Call me an amateur but I don’t see that much of a difference between the $12,000 lens and what you might get with much less expensive ($1000-2000) lens. I would’ve like to hear more commentary on your part Matt as to what you feel insofar as whether it would justify the extra expenditure on your part if you didn’t have it as a loaner.

great video matt and steph

LOL,.. Steph's told it's likely to be costly, 2 secs later she removes one hand to wave at us,. lol Steph! :D

@leospagnol 6 лет назад

How would you compare the Noctilux and the Otus 85mm?

@marko_markovic 6 лет назад

Hey Matt, great video, and thank you for letting us see what is like to play whit that lenses :D And btw what ist the name of song starting at 2:29?

@Sondercreative 6 лет назад

Matt, everytime you upload it's a good day :).

@meroslave 6 лет назад

Very nice video Matt .. I like your frames because it's simple and attractive .. the bokeh is amazing really .. but do you think that it deserves that mount of money?

@pacowboy 6 лет назад

Diggin' the hat, Matt. Lol. Great shots. Steph is a trooper to be out in the cold aftr having the flu.

@stewartnorton4742 6 лет назад

I'd like to see a test done between Canon/Nikon flagship bodies and Portrait lenses and this set up to see the difference. Usually these test show that you are getting at best 5-10% increase in performance for about four or five times the price.

@KienDLuu 6 лет назад

The focus falloff on these lenses are absolutely beautiful.

@TheBeast-hd9bl 6 лет назад

I have a question, which sd card is the best for my canon 7d mark ii ? The lexar professional sd 1000x or the compac flash? I will shoot sports ? Which do you recommend me?

@alexbormanbou 6 лет назад

Funny, pretty, lovely model. Amazing lens. Thanks for sharing

@jsleger3404 6 лет назад

Looks great but too expensive for me...I was wondering;.what camera do you use to film your video?, it looks sharp and beautiful

@Mazagrandeman 6 лет назад

Gotta love the bokeh on that noctilux... It must be a pain to focus on the M system though. I have the 90 cron pre-asph and nailing the focus even on that at f2 you need very good eyes lol

@jaimeduncan6167 6 лет назад

She such a good sport. Besides being an actress and an athlete, she is also beautiful as crazy.

@DanielOrtegoUSA 6 лет назад

Nice lens! This one is much sharper than the Nocti' I tested in 2009.

@Gravitys-NOT-a-force 5 лет назад

Whatever you do with the two lenses, keep Steph. I wish you had tried the Noctilux on the M10 without the EVF. Is it even possible to focus that lens - at f1.25 without the use of an EVF?

@dippin1523 5 лет назад

wow. those are great images.

@nitehawk86 6 лет назад

I just bought the Rokinon 85mm F1.2 today, I can't imagine this thing is 20x better. Bought it mostly for astrophotography because all of my other Rokinon super fast lenses are so damn sharp. But I can imagine there will be plenty of things to do with it.

@JAID01 6 лет назад

Terrific images

@LeicaM82 6 лет назад

So, when does it go on sale? Only 2 weeks until vacation, I might be stuck with the old 50 APO if this doesn't show up in time.

@IIIIALBYIIII 6 лет назад

Will this fit on my iphone mounting lens?

@wcdx1981 6 лет назад

while i know this was about camera equipment, all i saw was Steph 😍

@1dbjack 6 лет назад

I think the lens is fantastic, should be with that kind of price tag, and wonder if the SL's sensor is up to the lens. Would an updated camera be in Leica's future?

@senaritradutta 6 лет назад

How this lens 75mm compare with Zeiss Otus 85 mm or milvus 85 mm optically ?

@yomofoindahouse 6 лет назад

Lovely. All natural light shooting?

@krishartsphotography5643 6 лет назад

Nice :) Sir ,any comparison video for SL & XH1 ?! in the future :)

@maheshg212 6 лет назад

Hi Matt..commenting on your video for the first time ever I think, but have been watching them since last 3 years at least. Here are my thoughts - 1) Love 75mm but was thinking of Fuji 56 APD all the time 2) you might want to use Sony A7 series for steady shot and 3) adore your kittens/cats, the one that was enjoying as you stroked its tummy :-)

@jensvielmann7662 6 лет назад

The fog in the background kind of distracted me from evaluating the bokeh in detail. But yes, like others have mentioned, I am very interested in your verdict. Does this enormous price tag buy you the Leica sticker or is it really that much better. If you could put it in context, please, it would help a lot. E.g. a comparison to other products (Like the Otus / or just a comparable Sigma Art) and evaluation if this notilux gain in quality(if their is any) is in line with the higher price. Thanks

@thomastuorto9929 2 года назад

Steph is funny when you mention the price of the 75mm Noct. Looks like the Leica renders colors beautiful sooc on my screen but ...

@jlaustudio 6 лет назад

Hey Matt, wheres that YO located at?

@stevelink21 6 лет назад

Nice images as always, Matt! But frankly, I cannot see the value in this $13K lens, when I can get similar image detail with my $1600 Fujifilm X-Pro2, $950 Fujinon XF90 f/2, a good tripod, and careful focus stacking! (Of course, with a static subject!) :-)

@charlespangilinan6351 4 года назад

And that bit about paper thin DoF being easier to MF is very true. I don't like stopping my lenses down because of that same reason.

@ilkoallexandroff 6 лет назад

Cheers from Japan!

@MikeKleinsteuber 2 года назад

I've downloaded a couple of the samples and whilst they're nice pix and the 75mm does have some character I'm not certain if the images they produce really justify the extraordinary price of the 75mm Nocti. I generally use a Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 on my SL and love the character the images have, much of which comes from this $700 lens. I suppose it's almost impossible to really tell until one has used the lenses but unless I can rent one first I doubt very much I'd go out and just pay $12800 on spec...

@RickMentore 6 лет назад

Hey Matt, were you using a bit of off camera flash, the images seems almost perfect out camera.

Spectacular📸

@andreasbracke1997 6 лет назад

beautiful cats ! as the grey one looks corious, fine pictures. I shot our cat with a 180mc2.8 medium format zeiss lens from former gda and as long as there is no back light you have wonderful sharp images and even a creamy bokeh. just for the fun, try that one (and perhaps save an amount of 11800 bucks even for a perfect one...)

@drc4563 Год назад

It’s a nice look. But compare the M10R or M11 with the Lux 75mm vs the say a Fuji GFX50R medium format with the GF110mm f2…..that’s interesting…..I am not crazy about the out of camera Leica colour output either. That rather spoils the otherwise purer experience. Thoughts?

@saurabhghosh398 2 года назад

Greetings from Calcutta, India. Makes me very frustrated that I can never own Leica! Jokes apart, the lenses are those that Ferrari is to cars. Thanks Mr Granger for showing me the pictures of Leica.

@HansPacker 6 лет назад

Those are nice pictures, but there are a lot of really amazing lenses out there for a fraction of the price. Still, thanks for showing us this rarefied kit. And, finally, I did chuckle at your "catitude" comment.

@mikedesimone2559 6 лет назад

Well done Matt,' Just one thing looks to me that the full length shot of the model is out of focus a bit, focus is in the middle I guess the thin wafer depth of field is a tough one Cheers"

@supertotoro 6 лет назад

Thumbs up for the good cattitude!!

@tobiasbouma4071 6 лет назад

IT's a shame that the weather conditions outside were a bit hard on the dynamic range (would have been nice to see Otus shots for reference) - I wouldn't know how the Leica deals with shots comparatively.

@crispin8888 6 лет назад

I think you should start a NoctiCatz page ...

@cecilekalayadjian7094 6 лет назад

OMG , I could eat the pictures, so much that lense take such good ones. :) thanks for the share, the Bokeh is grandiose :) by the way got exactly the same Cats at home :) and i'm use taking pictures of them, but I admit with that lense , they look absoluty amazing :) cheers from France

@jenky1044 6 лет назад

Awesome bokeh Matt... Do you think the cold weather had anything to do with the minor shaking you spoke of..??

@Herobox-ju4zd 6 лет назад

Who needs a background huh? This lens could even turn the flashiest Hong Kong street into a dull monotone backdrop.

@rihardsdzenis8339 6 лет назад

@instudio1982 6 лет назад

To test wide aperture, i think background should be much closer then this. That way bokeh would be much more noticeable...?

@buenbarro 6 лет назад

nice glass that 90 !

@saniwada 6 лет назад

01:35 she's just like: Take this thing now before I drop it!!!

@derkeksinator17 6 лет назад

Teen Shinobu Is best Waifu I'd do the same, especially if it's not mine and that expensive. Just the fact that it's not yours makes me extremely nervous around gear like this.

@0ooTheMAXXoo0 6 лет назад

She held it in one hand while waving with the other before she knew how mush it cost. When she hears the price, you can see that sinking feeling even though she adds acting on top.

@picturef8 6 лет назад

Matt Grainger , this would be a good video - this 12000 dollar lens vs Samyang 135mm f2 lens . The Samyang is manual focus , just under half more the focal lenth , super sharp and should be similar in blur background at f2....FOR 20 TIMES LESS THE PRICE , in fact you could buy a d850 and still have 6 grand left!

@AlGreenLightThroughGlass 6 лет назад

Mmmm - the sharpest lens I have is a Nikkor AI-S Micro 55mm f2.8 from the 70's got for 130 bucks on ebay in mint condition. Hard to compare on You Tube but I reckon it would give this lens a scare in a shoot off. Cost is not always a great indicator of superiority that blows everything else away.

@sidrotten21 6 лет назад

amazing

@fatgrouch 6 лет назад

Love to see how it handles lens flare and bokeh with more patterns and shapes in background. Skyline from that far away ain’t going to show much

@marioarias9942 6 лет назад

Creamy smooth and the Noctilux was nice too ;)

@ronitsingh85 6 лет назад

Lens is truly remarkable, they may make another in 10yrs time or so, the lens has better glass - (partial dispersion) than the noctilux 50mm f0.95, so better separation, more bokeh. Certainly too expensive but this thing is sharp sharp sharp, I own the noctilux 50mm and can comfortably shoot at 0.95. it is a sharp lens.

@Cdatar1 6 лет назад

How does these lenses bokeh compare with the Canon EF 85 f1.2L?

@mattgranger 6 лет назад

Bokeh I am not sure, sharpness, this leaves it for dead

@Cdatar1 6 лет назад

But I only paid AU$1800.00 new for my 85mm f1.2L MkII & on an old 1Ds-MkIII it is still pretty sharp, and great for studio portraits. Matt which one would you spend the money on for Studio portraiture? ( I use my 70-200mm f2.8L II & 100mm f2.8L macro for outdoor natural light portraiture a lot).

@aidz6191 6 лет назад

$12,000 ??! omg!! that price is insane..the bokeh is beautiful. but its jsut toooo bloody expensive.

@martinaee 6 лет назад

It's good. It's not 12,000 dollars good. Leica are good cameras for what they are, but they definitely add a lot to the price of their gear just on their brand name and identity.

@Monomonmamon 6 лет назад

the bokeh is too bloody much too

@is1dre 6 лет назад

A Ferrari is just a car and a Corvette is a better value...but money no object, which would you prefer?

@martinaee 6 лет назад

Well sure.... but obviously basically no one here is talking about it from the position of having limitless funds. If you are in that position go have fun and kindly go toot yourself lol!

@juanalvarado7794 5 лет назад

Whats so beautiful acout it? You cant see anything . my $550 olympus 75mm looks better straight ot of camera

@TasteofTaboo 6 лет назад

btw for mf you can always buy an leica r mount lens and an adapter, they are the same as the m but for the fraction of the price - because there never was an digital r mount leica and the leica lenses produce a really unique outstanding look, much more pleasant as the technical zeiss look. it is not only the bokeh, the transition between blur and sharp is much more soft and "natural" - zeiss are more abrupt. makes a picture more popping even when not shooting wide open aperture. also the colors from leica lenses are super popping, funny the sigma art lenses colors a reminding a bit to the leica colors
