I just impulse bought an XPro2 thanks for this channel

Awesome photos, awesome photographers and awesome Framelines community. Hope to meet up again at a future meet

Happy Birthday Josh!! Great way to spend the day 🙏

This is a strange video: on the one hand you declare having or having used an M10, and on the other hand you assert that the M262 (a watered-down version of the M240 as you rightly mention) is the same size as the M10... hmmm, having used Leica M since the 1980s one of the key reasons I exchanged my M240 for an M10-P was in fact the difference in sizes. The M10 has almost the same size as the M6 (film). Compared to them the M240s/262s are bulkier if not uncomfortably too thick. There is a world of difference between the capacity and speed of an M10 to write files and those of an M262. I have had both an M240 and an M262 freeze on me while writing files requiring my removing the battery to stop a never-ending process. A plus for the M240/262 sensor: Straight out of the camera I must concede that the colors of the unique (as the collaboration with its designer and its manufacturer ceased with the M10) M262/M240 sensor are very pleasing but the sensor offers a shorter dynamic range and lower ISO threshold than the M10, which cannot be fixed by using a different color profile or in an image-processing program. Conclusion 1: the M262 is definitely not "90% of an M10". The M10 is a very different tool compared to the M262, on many levels, and the gap keeps on widening with the M10-P and the M-10 R. Then, why sneer at the video/live view capabilities of the M240... who can do the most (M240) can do the least (M262) and I feel confident to say that the opposite is not true. Having those capabilities allows the photographer to use them when needed (not forgetting the EVF that is quite necessary for close-ups or just to test the accuracy of the range-finder as well as the exposure in real time). Conclusion2: The only good point about the M262 is its price-that is why it was designed, to boost the sales of the last M240 bodies and sensors before the release of the M10 which crushed the M240/262 in terms of size, ergonomics(linked to size), shutter, buffer size and above all ISO capacity. Shooting anything above 800 ISO with the M240/262 is exposing oneself to debilitating noise. That type of noise would takes far higher ISO selection on the M10. 800 ISO noise with the M262 = 3200 or even 6400 ISO noise with the M10. You could argue "who needs 6400 ISO"... the fact is some of us do need the possibility of using anything between 1600 and 6400 iso, and what is more use it (in the same way that there is nothing shameful or heretic in using Live View and video on a M240)... and some of us did (contrary to your assertion that no-one did). Back to rule 1: who can do the most can do the least, ...and who only does the least cannot do the most. That simple. Final Conclusion Recap: , ok unique color rendition, for affordable price and for considering the M262 (and 240 by the way) as entry cameras for the Leica M system, anything beyond that is fantasy or self-justification for spending that kind of money, especially if you already own and use an M10.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Do you still shoot your Leica these days?

Oh yeeeeee. Thanks for the feature and hope you had a lovely birthday!

Nice colours. which film simulation do you used?

MP240 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 love my Silver MP240 paired with the Voigt 35mm f1.5. The 240 is still crushing it on the street even after all these years 🤝🏼

I find walking the street to take photos is hit and miss. Mostly miss. Sometimes there are a lot. Of people on the street. Sometimes people are doing something interesting. Sometimes I see strong colors.Other times I take lots of photographs and nothing looks interesting. The end result is some exercise. You never know. My prayer when walking the street is I find some things of interest. I pray there is good light. I hope I’m in the right place and have the right lens. A lot of prayer and hope.

Happy Birthday 😊

Happpy birthday josh!❤

Happy belated birthday Josh !

Happy Birthday 🎉

Always relaxing to watch these videos … the great thing about London is, it’s always sunny

So unimaginative to start with a picture of a coffee....

Happy birthday!

Coming to this 3 years later. I love so much about this post. But I've been thinking a lot about what you get at the various focal lengths. This landed in front of me at the perfect time.

I've learned not to refer to people as "characters". They are people. Level one: is trying to photograph funny scenes. To capture humanity beyond the easy "funny" shot, transcends our art and takes the best of us to capture...and resonates. Cheers!

Adding the after market thumb rest that pops into the cold shoe is a game changer!

Happy birthday from Thailand mate 🎉❤😊

What lens hood is that?

Greetings from Alabama USA. Good advice.

Happy Birthday from Germany!

Happy Birthday! Love the pics!

Happy birthday. Love the chilled commentary and images. Interesting interviews with your fellow [photographers. Thank you. “The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.” - Elliott Erwitt 😎

Happy birthday mate! 🎉

Happy Birthday Josh, thank you for the video! 🥳🎂

Happy Birthday!!

I had a 23mm in silver and I bought a 23mm in black for my black x-m5. You know what I mean… 😉

Enjoyed that - thanks! I think you hit on a nice alternate youtube channel model......two or three minutes each with a bunch of street (or?) photographers. Just what you did was brilliant (gear, who are ya, what are you hoping to do here today while we see a few photos). Or does that. exist?

Excellent video - and some really well done images -

🎉happy birthday 🎉
