For this video, Greg and I drove all the way out to the holy city of Wetzlar in order to do a comparative review of two cameras from the 1970s, namely the Leica R3 and the Minolta XE-1. The Leica R3 came out of a collaboration between the German Ernst Leitz company (which later became Leica Camera AG) and the Japanese camera manufacturer Minolta. The two cameras share many parts. Time for an in-depth comparison. Gear used: Minolta XE-1 Minolta MC 28-70mm Minolta MD 70-210mm Leica R3 Leica Elmarit-M 24mm Leica Vario-Elmar-M 28-70mm Leica Summicron-M 90mm Films used: Ilford FP4+ Ilford Pan F 50 Dev & scan: https://www.meinfilmlab.de If you'd like to get in touch or see some early behind the scenes footage, find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/analog_insights/
