Ugh. So much want for a Monochrom M!

@jayoconnor4975 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. Singapore is one of my favorite cities in the world. The orchid gardens at the botanical gardens is the best 5 SGD you can spend.

The M9-M is on my want list. The CCD sensor and Monochrom images are magical.

Agree , I loved using this camera.

The M10M has become my default camera. I’m so used to it now and it is so versatile, especially in low light. I usually use it with the « old » 50 Summilux on it and it’s a killer combo.

I was really happy w that setup, considering the Q monochrom as well.

The lens fog phenomenon is a pain. You have to walk out of your hotel room with lens cap on and wait a couple of minutes. Singapore is a great city for photography.

Justin kickin’ it up a notch with this new series. Love these videos man. Great job! Like your straight up, no BS approach. And yes the lens fog is the real deal. I would add sometime you get different levels of condensation on the VF vs the lens. Need to check both. Love the walk and talk segments

Ending of the video is so true…world of photography bringing people together. I rented an m10 with a 50mm f2 Summicron and was taking a photo of a teenager that I know. He had pretty much zero photo knowledge but he relayed to me that he had an old simple digital camera he really loved using. He said the Leica was really cool looking but never heard of it before. Knowing he probably wouldn’t get a chance to try one in a long time or if ever again, I offered to let him try it if he would take my picture with it. His face lit up and he held it in his hands with a big smile. I heard the Kacunkkk of the shutter and he asked if the camera was expensive. I just said it’s not too bad (didn’t want him to feel weird or nervous about it). He gave the camera back, said thanks, and then ran off to join his friends. I looked at the photo he took and it was really good! Especially for someone who never touched a rangefinder before, it was perfectly focused and spot on with exposure. Photography does indeed bring people together!

Nice video, thanks! I picked up an M9 a few months ago to affordably test the Leica system, now I'm hooked and dreaming of a Monochrom at some point since B&W has always been my main focus.

@AskMOTT Жыл бұрын

Would you go for the M or Q monochrom?

@GrainAndPixels Жыл бұрын

@@AskMOTT Both have their appeal, but I think the M so I can use the lenses I want, and for the optical viewfinder. I'm sure the EVF on the Q is better than my Sony a7RII, but I really like the clarity of an optical finder.

Great episode. I got mine too and I find too much CA and Halation when shooting in bright environment at f1.4 to f3.5 more or less. Purple green fringing valor in high contrast area. Image is soft and not sharp at all. Do you experience this? Would you be able to list a link with some of your pictures for some of us Leica shooters to analyze your results? Thanks.

I had a Q2 Monochrom and really loved it. I have a CL, SL2, and M11 and recently pre-ordered an M11 Monochrom. You already have at least one M lens. An M11 Monochrom could easily make sense for you.

Can't forget the MM version 1. CCD really dreams filmish like TriX. Owned two, sold two because of bad bad GAS and clunkish operation, crap batteries. Owned the 246 but I feel there's too much grays and not enough B&W, so hours on LR: pity there's no alternative to these CMOS feeling like screen lickers and cloning machines. Summilux is a big boy and too clinical maybe: sending a shot to a dermatologist may help someone without any office visit... But very nice shots and cool review!

hey Justin, what do you think, which is the most popular, most searched print ratio? 3:2? ISO? or should I offer several aspect ratio? I plan to sell internationally
