I used 'Blads (500C/M, 500 ELX, SWC/M) for decades throughout my professional career. I used both 120 & 220 film. I always had a strap on my camera, and that was always around my neck, unless the camera was on a tripod or a studio-stand. I always used a lens hood, the bellows hoods are particularly good. Focusing can be quick with a quick-focus handle. To minimise shake the rear body shutter and mirror can be pre-released so that the shutter release button, or cable release, only triggers the lens shutter. To compare 6x6 and 35mm focal lengths for a 10"x8" print, the ratio is 11:6, so a 50mm lens roughly equates to a 28mm lens.

Ill be buying one of these soon. I bought a pack film camera from Nate years ago. Then Fuji f'd me by 86'ing pack film. Nate's camera was amazing.

I know this video is 2 years + old, I recently picked up a M10-R, and this is helping me get ready for an upcoming trip.

Bought my Leica Q in 2023, and ABSOLUTELY love this camera... JPEGS for me, are perfect.

God wit breaks but missing youre videos :)

You, Sir, are a really good photographer. 📸

At last !!! Someone who really explains and give examples of a photo storytelling 😎. I am tired of people talking about storytelling in photos but they doesn’t accept that NOT EVERY PHOTO TELLS A STORY🤨 Like you said, it has to be intentionally taken in some specific way as to tell the freaking story !!! Thank You very much 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

SA😂

This was so informative! Thanks man!

and here i am with the Q3 :D

Where do you get your prints from

These sounds are filling me with G.A.S. Gear acquisition syndrome! Subbed! Nice vid man. To cope with my jealousy I just put out a short where I pretend to be a leica shooter.

That’s me 😂

Amazing 😊

Great and Honest Review!! For me 24mp is more than enough. I own Fuji XT2 and love it ever since. I Don't need more MP than that. Most people always want New things releases that they Don't freaking need it (Q2 and now Q3 to Q10 later on). In their mind they think NEW it's Better.😅

A fantastic conversation. This gives me so much to think about. Thank you both!

any youtube video of your develop process and conversion to digital images?

You amazed me on how fast you focus. I will be stressed on losing a moment.

I am on the fence for an MP and/ or a Fuji GF670. Mamiya is also awesome but even harder to get. Already use minoltas for 35mm. Any recommendations?

it's called RANGE FOCUSING. Zone focusing is not a thing. Someone confusaed it with the zone system -- Ansel Adam's technique, to determine the correct exposure.

Pleeeeeease, make a video teaching how to do it :) I bag you

Very well done! So much quality! This is what I open KZfaq everyday for. Thank you for making this.

This Summicron is not the King of bockeh. The Summilux 35mm f1,4 steel ring is the right King in Leica history.

Dude. The whole barber scene is incredible. The framing. The bw. Nice one.

Needed this

omygahhh I love this! I think I am getting Ektar!

If you paid that much for any of those two cameras you got ripped off.

Loved this bro! Rest is essential. It makes me ask myself, how much are we pouring out? And how much are we allowing ourselves to be poured in, so we can go continue to pour out our creativity! Fire video!

Sabbath. Rest.

I agree that when you do something you’re excited about, suddenly you won’t feel tired anymore. Thanks for sharing this kind of video like a documentary with some added elements. Looking forward to your next videos!

ngl the thumbnail and the intro make me wanna go out shooting bw so bad

Omg it’s been so long man, I’ve missed you😂😂 You should come to south India sometime.

This is awesome, Chris. I've never been able to articulate how personal work is my way of resting and refreshing but you just knocked it out of the park. Beautifully captured and illustrated.
