I'm mind blown by the TTArtisan Lenses for the price point.

I only had the a7iv for a few days, had to return it because non of my flashes or triggers fit the hot shoe... I didn't have that problem with the a7iii... so what about this camera? Does it have a tight hot shoe?

I love landscape photography and I’m very tired to carry lots of lens and the weight on my shoulder, so this can be a great option I guess! Can I enlarge the shots for big paintings? Thanks

Wow you are so quick witted!!

This was my first camera that got me into photography too!! This is incredible to see. What a blast from the past. I’d love to find another one

If this somehow magicallly had modern SD card support instead of CF, as well as USBC charging this camera would be perfect for me, I don't need anything else from an old DSLR.

one of the seven musicians here lol

DO YOU HAVE TO REFOCUS while zooming ( as you have to do with the Tamron 20-40/2.8) ?

Only thing i believe is storyselling of the coach for money in exchange for advantage of big tech and surveillance that ruin society

does anyone think getting it for 800 I'd worth it??

Extra shoes, brilliant

Great video, passionate, informative , dirty filthy camera porn. Love it!

If I can only afford that camera, I would take that for my trip to you Europe. For now, it’s just a dream from 😢😊

any idea on how does it performs with flash systems such as godox ??

This was also my first serious camera i bought. After that i bought the successor 5D II because of the higher megapixel count and the superimpressive video capabilities. BUT i always thought that the colors were somewhat different. Not so nice than before. After time went by Mirrorless came up and i sold my original 5D. Looking back it’s the same as you said, some of my nicest pictures I did on that camera. Now i just bought a used one with the nifty fifty for about 250 USD. I can‘t wait until i get it. It will be my fun camera with supernice colors. For more serious stuff i have my Sony or Fuji Camera.

When I want reliability and weather proofing I reach for my Q2. The I want creativity and inspiration, I grab my M10-D.

Hi Benj. For those with the 907x but without much knowledge of traditional Hasselblad film cameras, is there a Hasselblad film camera and lens combo that you would recommend to use with the 907x that incorporates the traditional Hasselblad waist level viewfinder and provides the nicest shooting experience? Thank you.

"I'm curious about the lens and was watching KZbin videos, but since I don't understand English, I mainly looked at the results in pictures and comments. I'm sorry, but could you explain using the comments? Comments are translated into Korean, so I think I can understand them easily. XCD lenses are quite expensive, so I can't afford them, and I was wondering if there are any third-party lenses, and that's when I found out about this lens. It's a Chinese product, so I'm skeptical about its reliability, but is the product quality decent? I found this review of the lens: 'Provides excellent bokeh effects and shallow depth of field, outstanding performance in low-light situations, offers a wide aperture like f/1.4 in medium format, producing unique results.' I'm really curious about reviews from KZbinrs who have actually used this lens. I can't understand the content by listening to the videos because I don't know English. Sorry." This message expresses your interest in learning more about the Zhongyi Mitakon Speedmaster 65mm f/1.4 lens, particularly seeking information from KZbin video comments due to language barriers. You're exploring alternatives to more expensive XCD lenses and are cautious about the quality of this third-party Chinese-made lens. You found a review praising its optical qualities but seek more user experiences.

I’ve shot a few weddings but I’m not a full time professional - why primes? I always have a prime on me of course, but I find ride open they lose a sense of place too easily and I’m on the 24-70 and 70-200 a lot.

The film still looks so good 😂😂

That shutter doesn’t sound like that when it leaves the factory. It’s the ‘Canon cough’

I see so many professional photographers, at least in DC area, hiding Sony logs on their cameras but not Canon and Nikon. I am curious as to why. Is it because they are ashamed to admit that they are shooting with Sony gears?

Q3 is better because of the auto focus , my five cents.

At 1:45 and then again later in the video you might have just made the case for the Leica Q3 28 and the Leica Q3 43 combo. If the budget allows of course !

What of the legion of complaints against the M11 series cameras regarding freezing, and glitches? I had really bad AF on my Q3, but after the most recent FWU it's vastly better. But as I lusted for an M11m, I have seen way too many negative comments about M11's across the board. Would I be better off with an M10m?

Thank you for a nice review. Unless I am mistaken, I do not think you mentioned pre-capture. That is a huge upgrade for anyone shooting sports or animals (like birds). That said, I am not sure there is a high demand for pre-capture in the wedding market (your primary review perspective). All the best.

Your comparison of the M11 and the Q3 was quite fair and refreshingly straightforward without too much tech talk. My love affair with Leica began ten years ago with the original Q and has grown with each new release. I'm now shooting with the Q3-43, which is perfect for me. I once aspired to the pinnacle of the Leica experience and have tried using my neighbor's M11, but I cannot get used to the rangefinder system.

They all contain more or less the same software in different bodies.I just love the way KZbinrs talk about A-Cams and B-Cams C-Cams like they’re experienced cinematographers making a feature film.

Well... it's not 24-70mm F2.0. Only thing Sony achieved here was sadly playing a catch up game to Canon. I was all excited from a rumor of 24-70mm f2.0. How disappointing this lens was....

I love this camera I got it for a super great deal as my first camera in 2013/2014 (around) and I love it to this day ! It’s a beautiful dslr that gives that film simulation ! Completely agree with it being one of the best !🙏🔥🙌

Took me over year--it was a struggle. - but now I totally get it. It’s a spectacular gem of a camera. Sure glad I finally “ got it”. It’s a brilliant camera.

I was all set to buy one, but Sony are really taking the Mickey with that camera. Same sensor, same video capabilities and same burst as the 4 year old camera it replaces. Has the new screen and AI, but I have that in the A7RV. Disappointed.

I can’t for the day when people realises there are other countries besides Japan😂

Leica and Hasselblad each lag state of the art Sony AF, but how would you compare X2D/907X 100C AF vs Q3 ?

nah. My bag or the police. Your choice buddy. By paying him you have given him legit reasons to chance stealing another bag.

If you could only have one lens, which would it be, the Sony 35mm 1.4 or the Sony 16-35mm 2.8?

Anyone else here use the IDS thumb grip??? I can't find much out there. I'd love to see how the thumb grip works / looks on the Q3 as their site doesn't show a lot of photos. Mainly, I'd like to confirm that the thumb grip doesn't interfere with the function buttons. Thanks!

Well it wouldn’t affect you the same way as a normal person. You were given a lot or most of this stuff for free based on what I’ve seen.

6:50 What lens do you usually switch to for the dance party?

Whatever happened to the cascade 3 presets?

I can’t help but laugh at your Water comment. I’ve always had a cooler in the car with half a dozen large bottles of spring water. I go through water like crazy during a wedding day. To the photographers that go there empty-handed with no water, I don’t know how the heck you do it lol

People calling the older model "Vee" rather than "five" always makes me shake my head. If the new one is "Six" the last one was "Five".😂

Super video Ben ! Love your list. I would add a change of clothes (shirt, trousers etc) you never know stuff happens. Look forward to your next video!

A1II is to expensive for me, I will stick with the A7IV, but A9III is interesting for sports, but I can't afford it. 120fps is goign to be great. But I'm curious what's the rumored A7V will offer. Meanwhile I will invest in Filters, lenses. But usually I manage to nail the shot with the A7IV, but with the A9III one can just bombard it and get the many perfect shots.

Thypoch 50mm or voigtlander 50mm f 1,5 ii?

As a career police officer, (and now crime scene photographer), I definitely do not recommend this course of action. If you have ever had to fight two guys at once, you will know what I am talking about. It is a losing proposition. Thieves consider anything they took as theirs. Even if it is yours, they look at it like you are now trying to take what is theirs. Street thieves are not just thieves, they are involved in all kinds of crime and are not strangers to physical confrontation. I am glad you got your stuff back.

Love the 5D. Put a good lens on it and you're done.

Love the analogy with music and Ableton. Coming from 30+ y in the music industry, now photo - videographer and personal coach, I keep repeating that making music and making pictures are the same in so many ways and the industry is pretty much the same too. In the good and the bad.

I really want to like the A7CR. I see it open box for about 2100 bucks, which is relatively affordable for me. I would much prefer the A7R V, but the price is too high even though its 2 years and counting since launch. I'm sure the EVF alone probably adds $300 to the build. But anyways, i'm really on the fence with the A7CR. I have a 6400 (and a G9) and lots of glass for both, and I really like the idea of being able to use my smaller longer reach aps-c glass on the a7cr, although maybe none of that glass is good enough to make a difference. Besides that, the other pro is using these new sony primes, add clear image zoom that turns those into prime zooms, the 60mp is super interesting for that. Why am I hesitating? Well, it's still about 2400 with tax for just the body, way cheaper than the a7rV, but then if I buy a few "optimised" lenses, that price balloons quickly. As far as burst rates, I do like sports and moving objects, so getting less fps than the a6400 and a6000 i had in 2014, even in aps-c mode, is a bit of a dealbreaker. If Sony could limit the sensor readout to the aps-c area in aps-c mode (i assume they don't since the burst rate is same max as full sensor right?) and up the burst rate to 12 or 15 fps even in jpg only, that would be a big plus for me, despite the jello fear with lateral movement, another concern from past trauma. Then there's the shitty evf. I have the same resolution i think in the 6400, the 7CR CR has a bit better specs and brightness, but still. I never use the LCD and couldn't care less about it, and have progressed from 1mp to 2 then 3.5 MP evfs, longed for 5mp, hard to go back. And then I think of the big brother, with its 10mp beast; it's like there's Wagyu A5 dangling in front of me but my wallet is looking at the sirloin. Then there's noise fears- I live in the m43 world too, so hearing comments about low light performance again, with one of the most advanced FF cams on the planet isn't fun. The other "issue" is the cost, size and weight of very FAST good enough glass on a compact body (ignoring the moderately fast aforementioned compact primes). I've seen some guys using a 100-400mm on it, pretty ridiculous, but sure, I get it. Why not? at least as a secondary use case? After all that, I'm still itching to get a CR for some reason. As a stills cam mainly I guess, for urban travel and street especially, although I did see Jared's 7CR success with pro baseball shots. I sort of want this mini hi-res swiss army knife that the a7cr is. Despite the cons, I'm still considering it, there's some magic to it. This other guy said it's like his A7R V had a baby, with a soul. He leaves the a7rv in the studio as a tool cuz he never feels like lugging it around, souless piece of muted design, but the joy of walking around came back to him with the silver color 7CR. I have that joy with the 6400 too even though its all black, has no ibis but a handy little fill flash. Please talk me out of it, lol.

Thanks for the review very interesting to get your insights. I have a Q3 and Q3-43 and have put the screw dot on both, looks fine. I have had an M 10 and M11, but could not take to them so moved on and got an SL-2S and now replaced with the SL3. This is great for the M lenses I have and of course the SL lenses. I recently got an M246 Monocrom (the Leitz limited edition) just as an investment and somewhere to hang the M lenses and to my great surprise I absolutely love shooting with it. Once the M bug gets you it’s hard to resist and I think I’m now won over……..will I sell the Q’s? Probably not I love using them, but they have stayed it their bag and I mostly now take the M246 out for street shots, keep the Q’s for short travel trips etc.
