How much does Leica LUX cost?
Leica LUX has several in-app purchases/subscriptions, the average in-app price is 99.99 $.
iPhone is the camera I now carry. Leica Lux is an app to filter with it’s ability to limit to specific focal lengths and colour filters to limit colour ranges. I found I begin to think in a ‘Lux box’ when looking at potential subject matter.
I think photography is about what is included in the frame. Using Leica Lux parameters makes it necessary to move the camera in relation to the subject matter.
I like to use prime lenses with my cameras, I get better results working inside boundaries. I just get more satisfactory results because I have to work harder, I guess.
Use Leica Lux for a couple of weeks like I did. Lots of nice pictures. It’s the magic again.
Now it is my default photo camera app for iPhone
It is premium quality photo app. It really remind my my impression of the real Leica cameras (I had three and use Leica D-Lux now).
Great Potential
Hobbyist photographer - I’d heard of Leica cameras but didn’t know their prestige till I dove in with this app. App is OK for a a brand new release, some freezing here and there.
I’m excited to see the this app developed further. I’ve gotten some really great feedback on the photos I’ve taken from this application.
I do understand that a photographers photographer may have an actual Leica to compare this to and not agree, but so far I’ve been happy with it.
Still need improvements
The Leica looks seen pretty great; got some great photos with this app, yet the app is still buggy sometimes especially with the Aperture mode.
Price could be much lower or at least have a lifetime option. $99 per year just for a simulation and some computational bokeh? I don't think so. 😕
Simply ridiculous 😆
Leica’s cameras lenses and cameras are among the most expensive in the industry. One would expect an app that would inspire and motivate a new generation of photographers to at least consider Leica brand… While the app development costs may come as simple marketing expenses, these guys actually attempt to charge you a premium for the ability to apply default film LUTs and some bokeh emulation (thats not even available in the free version). Thats a VERY SHALLOW approach for a camera manufacturer with such a long history and cultural significance. This app is a TOY and marketing material at best, and not a tool that needs to be purchased.
Do not WASTE your time or money
Leica are so oblivious that they think this app is worthy of being a subscription based app, let alone they think it’s worthy of a ridiculous price of $99 a year is beyond insanity! Well the delete app option was cheaper than wasting a single second using this piece of overpriced junk!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!
Trop cher !
Si la simulation est intéressante et fait un peu penser à ce que j’ai sur mes appareils Fuji, cela demeure des photos prises avec un iPhone.
L’interface est plaisante, le mode photo est celui donne les meilleurs résultats, la version “Aperture” souffre du faux bokei qui ne distingue pas correctement la vraie profondeur de champ, c’est flagrant par exemple sur les moustache de chat, ou dans les détourages de cheveux. Il y a encore beaucoup de travail à faire de ce côté !
Après, tout cela ce sont des effets spéciaux qu’il est possible de faire en post-production avec un logiciel d’édition, alors pourquoi dépenser ce montant pour une App, surtout sous la forme d’un abonnement ?!!
The one I’ve been looking for
This is the photography app that fills all I’ve been expecting!
$100 bucks a year for a repackaged apple photo app?
Haha, pretty funny. But also unbelievable. Should be free as a marketing tool or something to buy their lenses? I don’t know. What a rip off
Doesn’t work anymore
After the last update doesn’t work properly… all filters are locked. The button simply doesn’t work.
