Leica R5 (A GREAT LEICA M ALTERNATIVE)

[@scottkukla]

Welcome to the fam! Leica R lenses are some of the best ever made!

[@stevencottam7570]

R5 feels so beautifully mechanical, delicious

[@KimHojbergJensen]

Sometimes the CZcams suggestions are really good. I have been watching some Leica R8 stuff and then this showed up. I really like your style, - I have been watching some of your other videos also by now. Very beautiful and creative shooting!

[@eddie_g]

Thank you! Appreciate it!

[@Edgy01]

Keep in mind that you can easily purchase a R to M lens adapter by Leica to use the R lenses on your M6. For example, I have the Leica R Apo micro 100mm lens which I adapt to my Leica SL2S.

The R5 is a sexy looking camera, even if it's not an M. Hehe.. I've read that the body is made of zinc btw, not plastic. Same as the M6.

Really enjoyed the video, keep up the good work.

[@eddie_g]

Thanks!

[@silvestersze9968]

Thanks for the informative video. I’m thinking of getting one of the two, R5 and R6/6.2
What is your recommendation on fully mechanical shutter SLR just like the M6? 🎉

[@dylanhill6736]

You can't go wrong with German engineering. I love my Leica system.

[@eddie_g]

agreed

[@silvestersze9968]

Did you prefer your M6 in silver chrome over black chrome finish? 😅

[@jacekkusz7135]

thanks, I just bought a R5

[@lensman5762]

??? R mount Leicas are mainly SLRs based on Minolta XD 11. Leica M cameras are rangefinders. How exactly can a SLR be an alternative to a range finder?

[@CraigBergonzoni]

Great video. I’m going to have to keep an eye out for an R body and try it out.

[@CertainExposures]

Those photos were extra crispy 💯.

[@eddie_g]

lenses are nasty lol

[@CertainExposures]

EGTV I’m really waiting on that Last of Us II content though 👀👀👀

[@rmle23]

The film advance lever is metal with plastic cover, not plastic.
The build quality of R cameras are in pair if not better in some cases then M cameras.

[@fellowcitizen]

Thanks, I'm going to try one of these one day :)
P.S. if you haven't found them already, you should check out Analog Insights; they just covered the R7 this week, and the R3 earlier. You should collab with them in Munich on an R5 episode!

[@eddie_g]

ill have to look into it thanks!

[@jaeAre200]

Yooooo...tell me why i rewound the video like 5 times to hear the shutter. It sounds sooo good. It's not a normal mirror slap. So do all R5 have that light leak issue??? Aint gonna lie, I'm gonna do some research on this camera now and maybe pick one up in the future. The image quality of that person tryna dunk is soooo good. Which lens was that??

[@eddie_g]

jae rose lol yea it’s a unique shutter sound. The lens was the 24mm.

[@mikhailtikhonov9136]

Nice light, please keep going!)

[@eddie_g]

thanks

[@abourge12]

I have an R E now my Olympus OMN2 is sad

[@dedclownsRfunny]

Is it that much better than the Oly OM range?

Its closed minded and easily affected by google and peers he say she say. A closed door not helpful in photography
