Thank you!

nice video bro, I do have a question. I just got one x100f, I have never shoot Fuji, how can I do for the settings to always stay active in the screen? so I know the ISO, shuter speed and so on.

This is amazing! Exactly the video that I'd want to see. Thank you

Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures with us. Your edits are soft yet punchy. They all look gorgeous.

Cheers mate

I didn't see a reason to get a 24mp Leica, til I bought the M11Monochrom. I have my Major MP cams. SL2S was just on sale for $3k, with extra battery, etc. So I bought mine last week, early Jan25. Mainly for M lenses I have. No intention of getting Leica glass. Not against it, just not needed. So far, the retention of highlights is indeed, impressive. Easy to UpRez files, and MultiShot for food, etc. Used on weddings already. It delivers a different image, that is very smooth, pleasing, flattering, balanced, uniquely so. First camera in a decade that is less than 42mp, for me. But it really does make so much sense. SL3S will not be more MP anyway. and I think at $3k it makes a lot of sense, esp bc I have 12 M lenses. Can put 2 bodies, & 12 lenses in a briefcase. And saving highlights is the next holy frontier for sensor tech, but available here. For me, this fills a gap, I didn't realize. Saving clipped highlights, great for wedding and photojournalist work. Have to see how it is for portraits. Unexpected Bonus: it's amazing for BW, the conversions are uniquely different, as the sensor is different. Haven't quantified those exact nuances yet, but with the M11M, which is stunning, yet this still offers unique value for BW. I'll try and make a video about it :)

G Masters overpriced, compared to Sigma DG DN Contemporary?

Sl2-s hands down one of the best cameras. Love it tremendously. I sold it for the sl3 and I miss it.

This camera stopped my gas...... SL3-s drops tomorrow though 🤔

U have a "good eye" (also for PP). Bravo.

I’ve just seen this on the way to work. Not watched the video yet, but I will of course. I bought an SL2-S on Dec 20th as I craved a Leica but I know that the rangefinders weren’t for me. I’ve been a professional wedding photographer for 15 years but gave it up due to the fact I started to hate weddings. So I’ve had many cameras, from the Fujifilm finepix, Nikons, canon 1D’s, a dabble with Sony and when I retired from weddings I got a GFX. All gone now. The SL2-S isn’t the best camera I’ve ever used but it is the only camera that makes me happy when I shoot with it. It is built like a tank on steroids, it feels amazing to use (but try a prime before one of the massive zooms) the EVF is incredible, the ergonomics are wonderful… it’s heavy but it never feels heavy and the low light performance is breathtaking. There’s more, but I’d be here too long. All I’d say is if you’re thinking of getting one…. Do it, it’s an experience to behold.

Best sensor ever. Unfortunately the cam is too heavy.

In late November 2024 I bought a brand new SL2-s for just $ 2,700 here in Denmark. It's a joy to shoot with. Great camera and welcomed supplement to my M240 and M240P. Thanks for sharing and keep on rolling.

Wow, this is the problem with KZbin - when I search for a video, I have to go through the most viewed ones which are given to me, and these are not the best, just popular. And all of them are copy/paste. The way you unselfishly gave all the tips in such a clear way, that is what I call a tutorial. Subscribed, hope the other videos are valuable, too.

What is the close focus adapter you’re using? Thanks. I appreciate your channel so much.

Have a question if you don't mind and I think you are in a great position to answer. I have a SL currently. I originally bought it to shoot with vintage lenses but I find it difficult to use for manual focus due to the focus peaking not being super accurate. I did buy one of the Panasonic 1.8 50mm lenses and I've been primarily using that on the SL but the AF just doesn't quite cut it. The eye/face tracking doesn't really ever work and if you try to switch to more of the focus grid it just seems like it clutters up the screen and gets distracting. I wish you could shut off all of the focus grid boxes on the screen when enabled. Also you can't have the composition grid and focus peaking on at the same time on the SL which is a bummer. That being said are those things on the SL2-S any better? Really I'm just wondering how the autofocus works, behaves etc. I've found no videos showing it in action. On all other cameras you can always find someone screen recording the AF at work but with Leica not so much.

You make me want it. I do have a Panasonic S5 right now and although the images usually turn out great also in low light, the EVF of the SL2 series is plainly just better. :)

I’m glad they made this a proper frame lock and not a liner lock with steel liners and Ti scales slapped on top.

Please, can you publish the filter for your personal photo on the channel’s profile? I have been looking for this filter for a while and have not been able to find it

Wonderful!

Hí, could you write me what this present called? Thanks, btw. Amazing video

I got the X1DII and the 45P used and have no regrets. I have the new 75 P on the way. Love the image quality and the simplicity of the menu system. I love this design for my shooting. I also shoot the Leica Q2M and for simple family photos I have the D-Lux 8. But you can’t really get better color scheme.

I am still confused which one to take ? A7 cii or A7 iv ?

My local camera store had a used X2D w/ 45p lens for $6K. Unfortunately, it sold in less than a day and I didn't have time to snag it. I'm so bummed. I'm headed to Disney after xmas and would prob bring it with me too if I had it. 🤣

Thanks for your video! like your vibe. Curious on your thought between X1Dii and SL2? I am debating between those 2 cameras. Already has a Leica M240, and also Q2....

That looks smaller than the Lumix micro43 G9ii

I'm using the Leica SL eco system. I wonder if this Hassy delivers better image quality? Tones and colours, not just megapixels

I have trouble getting proper focus of my kids while shooting at home with this set up 😅. Shooting at Disney must be a challenge. This camera has the best grip, it’s almost like the camera is holding on to you.

🎉welcome to the club brother!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Leica SL and this little gem of a lens. I have this lens on my SL2 and absolutely love it. I also have the 65mm F2 by Sigma and I don't think you can go wrong there either. I plan to see it along with the Leica 24-70 f2.8 and a 50mm F2.5 Summarit to buy a 50mm F2 Apo Summicron. To be honest I have enjoyed the images from the Sigma and the Summarit, but needs must. Keep the reviews coming Joe.

Thanks for the video and I have this! And absolutely love it. But since a few months, it's got some problems, and one that bugs me the most is the shutter opening up closed, until I take a blank photo to open it up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r32umYakZahsZqs if the OP or someone else can help.

Your flat lays are always on point

I have it too

I have this camera and I take horrible photos

Look better on my vivo x100 pro. But nice work bro🎉

This channel is so underrated. Great shots, and I really learned a lot from your Fuji Classic Negative recipe video

I own a Contax RTS ii and a Yashica FX-3 which is generally a stripped down to the bone Contax camera manufactured by Kyocera. Last week I found a Contax RX from Japan. It uses CY mounted lenses and can act as backup.

Have you tried and compared TECHART vs FRINGER adapter? Would you choose one over the other for your own taste and style of photography? Build quality, speed of autofocus?

Thank you for sharing your findings with us, I enjoyed watching your 85 and 40 pankace videos alot. The fun of photography is feelable through this channel. To this day this video is relevant as there are more than ever adapter brands and new firmware upgrades, making old EF lenses compelling to fit on the Fuji. If you would have said 10 years ago, when Fuji was making APS-C cameras, that Canons 35mm EF lenses would some day fit on future to come Fuji's Medium format cameras, like a glove like a mariage" every one would think its impossible...

I've bought a Sony a7cii with the 40mm g as a addition to my Leica M11-P, so far I do really enjoy the Sony (more then the Q3)

Love that Candyland shot! Also that “balloon ride”. Such gentle color yet so lively. Also those mannequin legs! How did that happen ?!?!? Too funny!

If you’re Livin’ For Likes, you’re doin’ it wrong 😀

Yeah saw Gerald’s vid when it came out. Refreshing. I don’t even watch the reviews when the cameras come out. Waste of time. In fact the only camera I ever preordered was the Nikon Zfc a couple of years back. Otherwise I kind of wait for the bugs to work themselves out on new cams and go from there. I see you are a Leica SL2-s user. Here too. The images have such great depth and I even enjoy shooting it in full hard sun. Look forward to seeing your Leica vids.

Underrated video. Very good pace and explanation. Thanks man.

I grabbed this camera as my travel set up. Have the 24 and 50 g but you just may have sold me on grabbing the 40 😅

Hey that's me at 4:58!

Still relevant in 2024! (Enjoying both your EOS R as well as GFX 50S videos with Canon glass). Awesome informative relaxed in-depth videos! With which lenses did you photograph the (my two favourite) photographs at 21:57 (girls portrait) and the 22:46 (mans portrait) ?

Great video and that musicial piece at the end so lovely .Im in just subscribed.

Hi thanks for this video. I even know about this lens... could you send me link for this lens 😊 thx

Thanks for a great video. Very inspiring. Well spoken. 🙏💪
