For people who care about detail above everything, this may be a point to consider if you're looking at purchasing the Leica. The difference isn't huge between the two however, it's noticeable, and the Fuji lens is sharper.
I forwarded these concerns to Leica, who performed a quality check on the lens I shot with, and they confirmed the lens focus was "spot on".īased on that, we can safely assume that the results are typical for this particular lens.įujifilm image upscaled in Photoshop to match the resolution Many thought there may have been something wrong with the lens I had received. In the video linked above, a number of comments were certain the Leica lens couldn't have been softer than the Fuji. Even compared to the Fuji 23mm, which isn't known for its sharpness, the Leica lens was noticeably softer. For example, the 35mm lens that we shot with was pretty soft wide open. In fact, a good number of them tend not to be sharper than some of the more "standard" lenses I use from various manufacturers.
In my experience with Leica, the lenses they produce tend not to be the sharpest I've ever used. I had no idea such a small lens could cost more than $3,500, but then again, we are talking about Leica here, so I shouldn't have been surprised. The lens is tiny and relatively lightweight, although it does feel rather dense in the hand. The 35mm lens from Leica is the most unassumingly expensive lens I have ever shot with. The lenses we used for this comparison were the 35mm f/2.0 ASPH lens for the M10-R, the 23mm f/2.0 for the Fuji, and the 28mm f/2.0 for the Sony. It's mostly done for fun, although there are some aspects of the Leica that really stand out. In the video linked above, we perform a relatively unfair and unscientific comparison. On this occasion, I decided to see how images from a Leica camera compare against some more typical mirrorless cameras like the Sony a7R III and the Fujifilm X-T3. Other than that, this is a very familiar Leica camera with very typical features, which I have already covered in a previous article.

The only other update that I could find was that this new camera is capable of shooting long exposures up to 960 seconds without needing aperture priority mode.

The M10-R might be somewhat of an exception to the rule, because the new high-resolution sensor in this camera puts it notably ahead of many other M series cameras. Updates between each new camera tend to more about refining what has already been produced, as opposed to trying to update every feature on the spec sheet.
For example, the biggest changes between the M10 and the M10-P were the additions of a touchscreen and a redesigned shutter. Feature sets tend to be limited, and this seems to work extremely well for its specific market. Leica recently released the M10-R, which is now the highest resolution M series camera that shoots in color.Īs a company, Leica tends not to push the boat out too far, especially with its M series of cameras. As the name would suggest, this camera only produced images in black and white. The M10 Monochrom was the first high-resolution M series camera that Leica had produced.
