Akara Labs also makes an incredibly simple little device to make your uncoded M-mount lenses 6-bit coded so your camera recognizes them. It's so helpful!
Yes! The video mention is planned but I'm working with them to iron out issues on each product first. (Just to try to help before I announce stuff)
Cool apartment, interesting lens, beautfiul model, great pics 😀
Thanks Thomas! This was a space to hire in London so basically more like a studio (but normally for dancing)(I just wanted the windows!)
The 35/1.8 Nikkor was even better (especially for center sharpness without harshness), nearly as compact, and was available in LTM, but good luck now finding one at a user-feasible price! When I had one, my pet peeve with it was that the f/stops revolve as you focus, so I sold it... I kick myself now for that, of course!
I love this lens on my M9
Thanks James, yes, sadly when I got this some years ago it was already "too late" for the f1.8, with even then very high prices!
Very nice new case for your M10 👍
Thanks for sharing video and images ... very nice model too 🙂
Thanks Grom! Looking forward to our Patreon meet up next month!
Thanks for following up the last episode with the Nikkor lens.
No problem! I try to listen to viewers and make things possible where practical to do so.
Thanks Matt, a fascinating review.
Thanks!
Thank you for this review. I very much enjoyed it, particularly as I just happened to obtain one of these lenses as part of Nikon SP kit, but have not yet taken it out. Your photos look excellent as always, I particularly like the more close-up shots and am struck by how nice a 35mm lens can be for portraiture.
Thanks, yes it can be nice for environmental portraits being 35mm
Gracias Matt!
Mi lente preferido en 35 mm
Es el Summitar.
Lo considero una maravilla óptica.
Saludos desde México..
Thanks! Summitar is 50 so maybe you mean Summaron. Both are great :)
Great video Matt. Do you put these shots on your website cause there we don't have the yt compression.
Thanks for sharing 🎉
Thanks Rob! I try to put 1 or 2 on Flickr full res from each shoot when time allows. (Sometimes more via the blog but there is currently a backend issue I'm waiting for them to fix).
I use the Nikkor S lenses 35/1.8, 50/1.4 and 105/2.5 on my Sony A7 with Amadeo adapter. Makes for a tiny travel kit.
Nice Brian! Great adapters and I love the 50/1.4 especially
Not sure I'd call the 105/2.5 tiny (or lightweight)!
@@jlwilliams I guess it’s all relative.. vs say modern fast AF glass :)
Prague seems to be the best place for nice models. The lens looks like a Jupiter with the dia on a concentric ring in the front. I am not a big fan of the 3D prints grips which probably cost less than 5€ to print (I hope they are not too expensive at selling price…) for a camera more than 6k€… Perhaps some more elegant leather grips can be found… :).
Thanks, yes Eastern Europe is general suits my taste. Prague is good if you can find the models (less easy!). Yes I'm sure many Leica users will prefer nice leather extras but this works great for me.
Hi Matt✌
Thanks as always for your video👌aha so today you were out and about with a vintage Nippon Kogaku lens, I've seen a lot of them on Ebay too, but even more on 35s 😁 I would also be interested in the ultron 1.7/35 which you have already shown. and is really as sharp as you have advertised it😁I have 3 x35s the Summicron Version IIII the Flektogon 2.4/35 and the Nokton Classic 35 in the S.C which I also like very much, just has a unique character, currently on the M6 on HP5+😁

Thanks! See my recent "Regret" video. I re-bought the 1.7 after selling and made a video..but then returned it.
@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Since I watch every video of yours anyway, I must have already seen it😉 but I'm not sure now.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Du meinst das Video Sharpest 35mm Lens for Leica? Voigtländer 35 1.7 Review oder ein anderes.
That's a very nice nikor 35 Matt! And it would fit my Contax 2a with no adapter.
Don't worry about the look of your camera. If you've ever seen a newspaper photographer's equipment you would know what i mean. Some very disreputable kit! LOL
Thanks Michael! Haha yes I wasn't too fussed for real world use but this new case covers it up nice and mores gives a nice little grip too.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your videos, some really useful information. I’m currently looking at buying into the Leica M system, but saw a video yesterday that worried me slightly. In it, it was highlighted that knocking or dropping the camera is likely to result in problems with the focusing mechanism which will require a costly repair by Leica. It was suggested that this is likely to be required about once a year! What is your ex[experience of this? Many thanks. Jim
Hi Jim, yes this is the biggest negative of RF cameras, old or new. If you use them regularly you will need to recalibrate them yourself or send to someone to do it. You might be lucky and not need to do it for ages or you might bump it on day 2. Normally they can go for around a year without needing attention.
hello Matt , nice video and nice model ! which version of the Nikkor are using on the M10? and which adapter are you using to moiunt it on the m10 ? thanks daniel
Thanks Daniel, I have the Nikon-S lens (cheaper)(and I have Nikon S + Contax RF cameras), I use Amedeo adapter to Leica M.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom i could find one Amedeo adapter on ebay but price is almost 400 Euro . Is there rangefinder coupling with Amedeo adapter and leica M ?
@@danielbdbe yes, RF coupled
I have an old Nikon W-Nikkor.C 35 mm f/3.5 LTM + LTM to M adapter. To my eye, it looks sharp, but has relatively low contrast at f/3.5 and f/4 (the contrast is greater at higher f-ratios). I’ll be in Paris the end of May and first week in June. A friend in Germany was thinking of asking you to come to Paris then. If so, I’ll bring the Nikon lens for you to check out.
Hey John, thanks! If you read up on these lenses they say the 2.5 is the best performer of the 3 made - 1.8/2.5/3.5. I think the f1.8 is the most desirable and will give the most unique look. Yes if you are planning something in June let me know dates as soon as you know so I can try to keep them free. I'm currently getting booked up around 2 months ahead. Will be great to see you if it happens!
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Thanks for the info on the old Nikkor 35s. I’ll ask Christoph if he’s still interested in going to Paris.
@@johnkasianowicz6536 ok great! ..and thanks (I can meet you where you tell me)
Hi Matt, how does you modify this nikon s mount lens to a leica m mount rangefinder coupled lens？
I use a RF coupled Amedeo adapter S-M (not cheap but they work)
Hi Matt, Im trying to decide between Hasselblad 503cw with 645 back and 90 degree prism finder with metering and Mamiya 645 Pro TL
With prism and metering. How much would I be losing in optics if anything? I know there is a price difference. Also which do think would be more reliable and easier to get fixed? Thanks
Hmm tricky.. I would add a 3rd. If you want 645 consider the Hassy H cameras like I use. I much prefer to my Mamiya 645 I have. I use 645 backs on my 500cm/501c and it comes down to (1) do you want AF, (2) do you prefer with/without batteries/ electronics, (3) will you ever want to shoot 6x6? Mamiya gear is usually cheaper. Hassy is leaf shutter so better with flash (high sync speeds)
Thanks so much Matt!!
😊
Thanks!
Like the Jupiter 12 this is a copy of the Zeiss Biogon, correct?
No I don't think so, or I've never seen that written. I'm only an average guy so I might be wrong but do some reading to be sure.
I can't get infinity with mine with different adapters. If somebody has an idea...?
See my previous adapter video. Some adapters don't give true infinity. I now use the new LLL adapter which does.
Is this lens all manual focus?
Yes, sorry I forget to mention. Most of the lenses in the 400+ videos I've done are all MF, maybe 3-4 were AF. AF was not a thing in 1950.
