Nick, you’re one of the most informative Leica ambassadors out there! Kudos. Great videos. Keep up the great work. Also it’s awesome to see people using Ms for landscape work!

[@gigirocks9603]

I just got my M11! Battery charging up! So excited. Loved your video!

[@johnm.karian5295]

As always - "astonishingly useful" commentary - Thanks Nick!👍

[@vaughanstudio]

I really enjoy these presentations. Short, to the point, informative and without all the kinetics and showmanship that drive other broadcasts. Bravo!

[@Biosynchro]

And no annoying music!

[@ElijahNicolas]

Love the video Nick! Thank you very much. Would love to see more post-production type videos etc. on your workflow and maybe some editing in LR or C1. TLDW: Top 4 features // 1) Images Resolution 60MP 2) 14/15 Stops Dynamic Range 3) Time Exposures up to 60 Minutes 4) Live View Stabilzation.

[@michaelwalsh6913]

Excellent review. Increased resolution and dynamic range would be my top two favorite features as well.

[@paulreinhard8544]

As always interesting, entertaining and useful, thank you Nick

[@wilde4418]

[@ralfkunze5345]

Great review, Nick! Really enjoyed it! But hope for more to come…😉 Ralf

[@Phantom_gtx]

Great!

[@markoehlschlager3862]

Very nice. Personally, I'm holding out for the CL2 (it's due in 2022, I'm sure we all agree) with weather sealing, internal memory, an SL battery, multi-shot mode for 96 MP shots, and hopefully new f2.8 zooms.

[@janfrosty3392]

me too also I want IBIS

[@carlosriveros3039]

great channel, can you do more with the q2 and the cl please

[@perrymckenna2261]

Lovely images and informative video.Actually I really enjoy all your videos. What ND kit do you use for your long exposures for the M system.

[@jlwilliams]

Game: Before watching the video, guess what you think he's going to pick. My guesses: 1) 60mp. 2) Hinged, permanently attached loading door (and it only took 68 years!) 3) Improved battery life. 4) Hmm… USB-C? (I know that one is kind of lame, but we're down to the minor improvements now.) Now I'll watch and see how I did. No spoilers!

[@vajirmusabji4586]

Hi, this is Mr. Musabji from Illinois, USA. If you don’t mind witch one are you keeping 3 lenses in your bag for landscaping photography?

[@gurugamer8632]

Hi do you think the 50mm apo has better optics than 35mm apo?

[@JMC0704]

Enjoy your channel. Can you tell me a little about your printing? Do you print yourself and with what printer, or do you have someone else print for you? Thank you.

[@atoyrotoihsah6877]

The photos are beautiful. May I ask which lenses you used to take those pictures, especially in the beginning of this video sir?

[@LeicaCameraAustralia]

The lenses I used were a mix of 18mm Elmar, 35mm ‘lux and APO 50mm.

[@aishlingmullerify]

Hi Nick, is there a zebra function on the M11 and a way to tune the live screen to real time adjustments when you tweak the shutter speed and aperture, it seems I have to depress the shutter to see what the exposure really looks like, if there any way to change this

[@jeffstephens5266]

Which 3 lenses do you carry with you. I’m looking at an M11 but the choice of lenses is confusing. I would be interested to see what your choice is.

[@jacovanlith5082]

Nick, why did you send your M9 on retirement? Mettre à la retrette un Leice M9, incroyable.

[@smartdoctorphysicist3095]

Hi I am happy for you, but for me it will take me about 5 years to save up this kind of money for Leica M11 and by then they will have a M13 or M14, so I am stuck for now.

[@kalvino67]

…and here was I thinking that this camera is just for doctors and dentists…. but if the Smart Doctor and Physicist cannot afford one, I’ve got no hope! 😁

[@bngr_bngr]

Just lease it.

[@zarmindrow5831]

this one goes to 11

[@mattallengroupatREAL]

You just wrote 11 on your Leica!

[@rezzab]

I have an M9 that I still use great results but strangely all this hype about resolution and dynamic range but it’s personal most people won’t notice the difference, my late partner was a photographer only using film some friends came to her house to buy one of her prints all A3 79 in total the one they chose was very over exposed that she was going to throw away they loved it just goes to show, I could afford to buy an M11 but I will leave it for now.

[@kencur9690]

Ah one of those “I could afford to buy one if I really wanted to, you know...” I mean, who cares? Who asked you? Also, strange how just a month prior you commented how you “sadly could not afford one”. Also, being over exposed means nothing, absolutely nothing. There is no “correct” exposure: there is a right exposure. Perhaps those people saw that.

[@kencur9690]

Oh and by the way, if you’re going to retort that nobody asked for my opinion then, well... that’s also true.
