Image comparison Leica SL vs M 240 with Summilux M 35mm FLE

Here is a quick image comparison between the Leica SL and the Leica M 240 with the Summilux M 35mm FLE.

As you can see, the Leica M produces much warmer colors and a bit more vignetting. I prefer the Leica SL as the images look more natural. Of course I could correct the white-balance to let the M240 images look like the SL-images. But I have to do that every time for each picture. Sometimes the M240 toning is attractive even if it is not neutral. At the end it’s a matter of taste.

And here is a comparison between the Leica SL with the Summilux 35mm at f4,0 and the native lens 24-90mm with 35mm and at f4,0.


Amorgos Chora

Amorgos is a quiet and very nice island with the capital (chora) in the mountains. It’s a small village with typical while houses in small alleys and some very nice cafe’s and restaurants.

Street photography in Santorini Thira

Santorini is one of the most popular islands in Greece. Especially for U.S. americans and Asians, this island seems to be mandatory.
The view into the caldera is really fascinating. Unfortunately, the island is totally in the hand of tourism. The main town Thira is more like a shopping center than a typical Greek place.

I had the opportunity to spend two days on Santorini, including a day in Thira. Since this island has already been photographed entirely by catalog photographer, it makes no sense to make more romantic Caldera photos. Instead, it was a good chance to walk around and to make some street photos.

All pictures were taken with the Leica M with the Summilux 35 FLE and the Tri-Elmar 16mm.


Santorini Kamari

During my  trip to to Santorini I was one day in Kamari. It is a tourist destination on the south east coast consisting only of hotels and restaurants. There is no old town or similar. But there is a long beach with black pebbles of volcanic stone. A little off there is also a quiet place without bars and parasols. Kamari is at the airport so the planes fly low over near kamari.

The water quality is not as good and the stony beach is not comfortable to stay for longer. The mountain Profitis separates the south of Kamari and Perissa is nice to look at. Overall, a place for people who like bars and beach and for those who don’t want to pay the extreme prices in Thira and Oia.

All pictures were made by a Leica M 240 and the Summilux 35 FLE and the Noctilux.


Ischia Italy

I have made a one day trip to Ischia which is a nice island across from Naples. From Napoli you come with the boat directly to Ischia. It is definitely worth a trip. This pictures were made with a Leica M240.
