My favourite camera is my Voigtländer Vito II from 1950. Folded up it is the same size as the camerabody of my Sony ZV-E10 and is as easy to bring along as an iphone. The beauty of that old camera and the geniune process of using it is a great inspiration for my photography. I would not say it slows me down, but it gives every photograph a meaning, to me myself at least.

You need to smile laugh and chill man , you like chronically constipated 😂

"and then when you see something you take a picture." Yep, agree. But what's next with these pictures? Not enough walls to print and hang, so putting on a website which nobody in the world ever cares about, or adding to Social Media to be scrolled through in 0.4 secs? Just "to have it on your PC disk" is not really all to satisfying an option...

Paris, est une ville que l'on photographie dans n'importe quel lieu, la belle photo viendra d'un endroit où on ne l'attend pas ( de son hôtel, d'un commerce ou d'un grand ensemble ou tout simplement les endroits que l'on photographie. Dans un endroit où c'est interdit,faire des photos au grand-angle, à la dérobée, et recadrer avec l'ordinateur, on fera aussi des très bonnes photos.

Thank you. You are the best. Alway informative, helpful and most importantly...an inspiration!

Just found this channel wonderful content. Im in Australia a d have subscribed

Thinking of buying a secondhand m10p

Great Pictures! I Love Paris❤

Thank you Thorsten. Great video. I trust you are well

I can almost distinguish a Thorsten Overgaard shot among many others. They always look a bit out of focus in the most pleasant way. With the shallow depth of field you complete a vintage look which is of unheard beauty. You always hit my personal taste of composition, well done. Thanks for sharing and carry on

Regarding your question "what should I do with them (your photographs)?" Consider buying a "smart" TV with a USB port and a "slide show" capability. Download your photographs to a SanDisk thumb drive, insert the drive in your new TV, and hang the TV where - with some effort - your neighbors will be able to see it (perhaps through a knothole in the closely-spaced slats of your backyard fence). Leave just a slight gap in your living room curtains.

My wife has gotten used to me always carrying a camera everywhere we go. Wonderful talk Thorsten.. Thank you

Hello! Great work at sharing and teaching photography! I recently bought some old zeiss lenses. Can you share your opinion on how zeiss lenses compare to leica lenses? I am curios what you think of zeiss lenses. Thank you

Thank you for the sensational workshop

You have made some good points here, which highly resonate with me!

Repetition is key.

thx!

I live in a neighbourhood which is very ordinary so I dont have anything to photograph and I dont have time and money to travel to all those beautiful places.

I read You👍

😊 moin

Oh my god too many misconceptions, another proof you don’t need to know the camera to use it

Save your money

Great video! Thank you. I have a Leica M-A, a film camera. I think my simple, flat-bed scanner (Epson Perfection V600) has been giving both my M-A AND film photography a big black eye. In my scanner the film negatives are NOT pressed flat against the glass. For me to assume that an 8x10 print made from a "scanned" image - even a very high-resolution image (e.g. 9600 dpi) - would be of equal quality to an 8x10 image made directly from my film negative is my mistake. I think it's probably a given that a scanned, digitized image from a film negative CANNOT be as high quality as an image made directly from the negative itself. I think you could do "film" and my M-A a big favor by making this point in a video.

I keep coming back to this. 👌.... 🤝

So if I want to choose between the M10 and M10R, which one will it be?

Nice refresher! Thanks

Sir,.. What does that mean.. This is not a Ed Sheeran music video..

When are you gonna pick the winner of the mug or cups?

Was Miles Davis, now Chet Baker. Yes! And your videos are helpful and informative. Tak.

Always Wear a Camera 📷

I read your book on composition and it really gave me an appreciation for black and white photography. I never dreamed I would want to create black and white photos. I enjoyed everything else in your book too. Now I just need to learn how to use light (soft light) for capturing images. I really need help in that department.

The whole part on metering in this video: I thought the M6 had a meter built in. Why would you use a separate meter?

So good to have a video on this

What about the 35 lux TL how was that made ?

Even in 2024 this is a great little camera. When Fuji can't be bothered to produce it's one competing model and the flippers are selling the previous model at exorbitant prices, it was the right time to move on this one. I have to say I absolutely love mine, and yes it is addicting as I immediately went to see how I could swap out all my other film gear for leica.

thank you ❤️✌️ adore b&w and the Q2M

Do you worry about charging the old leica batteries for this camera? I have been told they can be dangerous and can cause fire.

I am thinking of starting out. In super wide angle. I am considering purchasing an 18mm. Is 18mm to wide for most situations?

I know Leica listens to what we say here, so we have to be careful what we say, right? People are trying to justify trading in their M10-Rs on the new M11 - and you're NOT helping. Does the M11 take better pictures? If I took the same photograph with the M11 and the M10-R, could I tell the difference? In difficult lighting, would a photo take with the M11 look noticeably "better" than the same photo taken with an M10-R? That's the question we need answered.

I am an indie filmmaker wanting to direct a black and white movie reminiscent of the old Frankenstein movies. I am considering shooting it with a Q2 Monochrome. I would not be able to shoot in Raw-only JPEGs. Most of my friends are saying to shoot the movie with a Black Magic in Raw and make in monochrome in Post. What would you recommend?

I liked this. Simple. Easy. A croissant and juice costs a lot less than a Leica lens. Inspiration doesn't have to require a mortgage. Thanks.

has anybody figured out how to set the camera up that AE is not locked via shutterbutton half press while using AF/S mode ( p.117 Q3 manual )

not good enough based on MTF

Misread the title and thought there is a $1300 summilux lol

Which 50mm Leica lens do you use most often?

What about dynamic range differences between electronic and manual shutters on the M11? My general understanding is es often reduces dynamic range compared to mechanical. I can’t seem to find details on this for the M11 and curious if you knew. Thanks

Everyone raves about Leica, so I gave in and bought a Leica M240, but I will never do that again. My first experience with this camera was really bad. An excellent and fantastic lens, the Voigtlander Nokton 35 mm f1.2 Asp II, attached to Leica works very poorly. The corners of the photo are soft, blurred and there is a vignette. The same lens on the Sony A7 works great and perfectly. The photos are perfectly sharp from corner to corner. There is little vignette only. It was my first and last Leica.

I only got the M-E /M9 recently and was immediately blown away by it. It's almost like shot with a film camera - the handling, the colour, the bnw emulation etc.. The newer M cameras produces files that is almost identical to Sony which is good by all means but the M9 colour is just so much better straight out of the camera. I am glad I bought into the hype of the CCD sensor.
