Great video. One thing I wish you would have done is shown some footage without the heavy grade and stylized film grain etc... for just a couple of clips. Really hard to actually get an idea of the great 5k when it looks like Super 8 here. I am deciding between the Lumix S1R and the Leica SL2 for this 5k S35 feature right now so that would have really helped me out. With that heavy of a look it really could have been 1080p. Love the channel though, looks great.

Fortunately I had an another neighbour who witnessed it. When I went over to get it, I thanked them for taking my parcel in. They go ‘what parcel?’ Fortunately the box was in the hall behind them. So I said ‘that one’. T which point they admitted it and gave it to me.

I rushed back with no hope of ever getting my stuff back but some kind and honest soul saw my bag in the cart, opened it and realized it was probably important to someone and turned it in!

Hi Lukas..... just watched this movie ..... after your SL2s set up movie- :)...... and left you a comment there.... great job here.... so my other rabbit hole- in addition to Leica is Nikon.... I go way back- to 1987- my first Nikon... N2002.....it just broke recently.... the rewind engine burned up..... that smelled great!- Anyway... I have the F3 and the F2... and love them- and many more Nikon film cameras... too many to list here.........but overall use is less- as I have the MP and M3... but when I do pull them out- I feel the same way- as you described..... I am still trying to get my arms around film stock.... discovering which film I love most.... both color and BW..... on the color side- I think I am sticking with Gold 200 and Portra series......just easy that way- and I love the colors......... black and white side has been so much more difficult-.... (and of course- film is not cheap- but delivers such a great experience..... ) alway loves recommendations...... what is your favorite film stocks- color and BW... and why- .... let use typical outdoor photography- I have a close friend who shoots a lot of film- and inside without flash- so he has shared with me high ISO film stocks for inside shooting..... I do some inside shooting with film.... but majority of film is outside..... thank you John

I can relate to how you feel because my first serious camera was a Leica M3 with a 1.5 lens. I love that combination and took it everywhere. Eventually though I borrowed my friends Nikon with a 50 1.4 a 28th 3.5 and a 135 2.8 lens And with that combination I just fell in love with Nikon. I liked being able to see my depth of field through the lens as opposed to a viewfinder or rangefinder to focus. The rangefinder was still way better for shooting in dim lighting because I could focus on a candle with that M3 where as SLR’s were very poor for focussing in low light. So certainly the Leica has its place. I like an SLR way better than a rangefinder. And now that the cameras are mirrorless which was the big difference between the SLR and the rangefinder that negates owning a rangefinder as far as I’m concerned and they have stabilization as well, I enjoyed your review. Glad you enjoy shooting film, which is something I don’t do much anymore although I still have couple of film cams Ieft that I kept. Regards Gerry
