Please Read* - Due to the situation in Turkey and Syria I think it's apprioprate that I donate all the Adsense Revenue from this video to those who need it. Absolutely devastating news. You guys have supported me and this channel over the years so even if I can help a little bit, I should. Thanks everyone.

Lovely video! I am not exactly a hero on an airplane, so it's nice to be able to travel to places further away from me in the world through videos such as this. Istanbul is really photogenic. So many wonderful little moments. Just had to smile at the guy playing with the cat in particular! I hope you get to go back soon and thank you for donating.

Such a beautiful place of culture, and great captures! I'm leaning towards investing in the Q2. When you shoot in aperture priority, do you set a minimum shutter speed? If so, what do you find to be the most effective minimum shutter speed for the Q2's ability to focus and capture a clean shot? Thanks.

I love the filmy tones of your photos. Especially the one of the cat in the store! It really caught my eye because it's so filmic. Do you have any videos explaining how to make tone or any technical stuff? If not, please make one!👍

Hi Mike - great walkabout - shot of the day for me was the guy in the brown hat and overcoat. I have the Q2 and after much deliberation I'll be taking it to Porto with me next month in favour of my X-T5 and a confusion of lenses lol

Hi nice video I have a question about the Leica q2, I’ve tested the camera just for a couple of hours (sick life can’t afford one) and I was bothered by the black line at the bottom of the lcd! At first I was thinking that that portion wasn’t in the picture but after a while… I realized that you don’t see but it’s there!!! Looking at the bear’s picture it’s clear that you have considered the black rectangle at the bottom as part of your image. Thanks nice work I really appreciate your video and you work is brilliant.

Really enjoyed this video, you’ve just gained a new follower, nice to hear you’re donating to the earthquake too 👌🏻 Just one question, would you use the x100v anymore or does the Q2 completely replace that camera in every way for you? I have a Leica Q and love it and I’ve just ordered an x100v to see which one I prefer, I wondered what your thoughts were?

Nice video and images :- ) I have a Q2 and I bought the grip and additional “Finger Loop” which screws into it (and third party Thumb Rest) - it transforms the handling and allows me to carry it…and shoot….very easily and safely with one hand. You might want to try it ? - Cheers - Peter.

@MikeChudley Жыл бұрын

Yeaa I’ve been eyeing that up! I’ll most likely pick one up - any you recommend?

Nice words, Mike :( So sad, truly devastating news. A comment, just my taste: I think I prefer the look/colors/contrast of your pics with the X100V. Not sure what others think. But otherwise, great photos! (Color/contrast… is secondary).

@MikeChudley Жыл бұрын

It is sad news. - Thanks for the comment, that’s fair enough! The x100v is loved for its colours that’s for sure.

Happy that you finally got yourself your dream camera, but unfortunately it's made your channel completely unrelatable to a vast majority of hobby photographers, and as such I haven't really enjoyed any of the recent content., I used to enjoy your casual approach to making photos and always felt you made a lot of good points about not chasing gear or ig/yt clout, as opposed to many content creatos who all seem to have the same cameras and point of view, but that's all changed now. So goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

You are wrong though, it's not like Leica offers better features over fuji, quite the opposite actually, it's just a luxury item imo, just paying for the looks if anything 😅
