Josh, your photos are going to become a piece of history, mate. People are going to look at them in a few decades and see what daily life is like in our time, the way people dress, things we do for enjoyment... The fact that us photographers (professionals and hobbyists) capture small capsules of time is a huge encouragement to keep going out, taking photos and celebrating this form of art.

[@frame-lines]

aha I am not sure about any of that. Hugely kind of you to say though - thank you Pedro! 😁

[@pierrecrampagne6826]

J'aime particulièrement votre vidéo, car chacun avec son appareil photo, prend un instant de vie. Je connais aussi Londres, et je retrouve l'atmosphère de cette ville au travers de vos photos couleur. Pour moi, j'ai même vu le camion du laitier, alors qu'en France il n'existait plus. Des jeunes s'habiller en (s k a ) avec le chapeau melon et des vêtements. J'ai essayé mais je tombais vraiment à côté. On était grunge dans un quartier, et costume trois pièces dans un autre.Pour le métro, il n'est pas aisé de faire des photos, mais ce que vous avez fait comme photos sont vraiment bien, mais celle où on voit les chiens sur le siège, pourquoi vous n'avez pas fait la photo complète, parce que,( une photo doit dire quelque chose ).

[@maxfairclough3600]

Love how you mentioned being able to focus at different depths etc. Probably my favourite advantage with the rangefinder systems. Loving my M10. Truth be told, it is just an beautiful experience all around.

[@ekchuahstudios9066]

I recently switched from Nikon DLSR to Leica Q2 and love it. Important controls easy to reach and fast. Love it for street photography.

[@fernandomaisonave3623]

I have the same setup. Leica M10 & 35mm f2 Summicron. Love this setup. It’s actually my only system. Use it for street photography and everything else. Portraits, weddings, events and landscapes.

[@frame-lines]

Aha nice ! Solid all round setup eh !

[@Mads-zy4zk]

I setup that I would absolutely love. The price is just an absolute kicker! Especially for a digital camera. I appreciate that we're hitting a point where the megapixels are at a good number now and it will last a long time it feels more painful than with a film camera. At £6,000 for the M10 body and £2,700 for the 35mm f2 lens (although the Zeiss Biogon 35mm f2 or the f2.8 is probably close to 90% of the lens for less money) it's a lot of money to spend.

[@Funktrainer]

Peter Thomson Actually if you look at a used M9 or even M8 and some Leitz glass of the sixties the step into the M system isn‘t that expensive.

[@Mads-zy4zk]

@@Funktrainer I suppose there is that. I wouldn't look at the Leica glass. My preferred option would be the Zeiss Biogon lenses - the 35mm f2.8, whilst being a stop slower than the f2, is still an excellent lens. It is also incredibly compact.

[@Funktrainer]

Peter Thomson I‘m very pleased with the Leitz 35mm Summaron 1:2.8 and its qualities.

[@fredrikgranfors]

This is the first video I've found on KZbin that actually explains what the deal is with a rangefinder camera. (So now I have to save to buy a Leica! 😊) Thanks for a great video!

[@frame-lines]

Aha glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks !

[@CrueLoaf]

I like your style and you've nailed all the reasons why I love the M10. I use a M10-D no need to use the screen even.

[@frame-lines]

Ah I wish I went for the D version ! Thanks for watching !

[@KevinEscobarCo]

[@tchin2020]

Hey Josh, good job with your personal take on shooting with the Leica M10. I think I’m going a full 360 degrees in my photography. Way back in the 70s, when I started out shooting street scenes in NYC with my Yashikamat, Konica, Olympus 1/2 frames, Minolta range-finders and then SLRs like my ,Nikkormats, FTN monster,Pentax and Minolta CL and , eventually with an M6, all manual cameras learning the basics manually. Then with the revolution of digital photography, i graduated to the world of digital, evolving into automated affordable camera systems, canon, Nikons, Sony, Olympus, and Fuji. I love photography and like driving different cars to know how they feel, I did the same with camera systems, shooting fast for decades, now in my retirement years, I’m slowing down and slowly realizing that the right kind of slow shooting is always with a Leica. Not being able to dig out my M6, I ventured out to pick up the Leica Vario X ( love a Leica with a Mini-zoom, amazing) and the Q.... the Leica look, image quality and saturation is truly definitive to Leica. Never did I ever want to go back to manual shooting, like with the M10, but your review and others, have convinced me to purchase the M10 system and 35mm f/2 sumicron lens instead of the standard retirement toy, a 2022 Porsche....all my cameras have been used camera systems, thus making them affordable for my shooting education, but, I think this is the time to pick-up a brand new M10 system and really enjoy photography at a slower Leica pace...let me tell you the Vario-X and Q are amazing cameras and no matter what you shoot, that unique Leica quality is always there...thanks for making my mind up...

[@frame-lines]

Great stuff! Thanks for watching

[@Narsuitus]

In my film days, I used the Leica M6 35mm rangefinder for shooting street, reportage, landscapes, and travel. I used the following lenses: 21mm f/1.4 Leitz 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss 90mm f/2 Leitz I now use the M10 digital camera with my M6 film camera.

[@kollegekool]

I use a Leica M10D and because of that I never have a screen on my camera and I love this camera! Its so great. Completely agree with your opinion.

[@frame-lines]

Ah I actually wish I’d gone for the D model ! Nice one - thanks for watching

[@kollegekool]

@@frame-lines Maybe you can trade it in at Leica and get the MD. The MD is really a great Camera!

[@timothymartin6489]

Agree x 1000, Josh. Totally got the wobbles when I got one of these recently. How can the cost be justified? And beyond the expense, this camera does not help you much if you don't know precisely what you are trying to do. However, once you get into the mindset, the magic happens. People are not threatened by it. You can get close. I truly hated it for about 24 hours (during which I found this video and stopped panicking, so thanks Josh), and now I take it everywhere. And I think I love it.

[@chr5551]

When you make the decision to use a Leica M system camera you do it because of the fact that you love the whole process of doing so. Yes it is expensive and yes you could come extremely close and even achieve even better results, some say, using a sony a7 r III paired for example with the ZEISS loxia lenses lineup and hey you have the manual focus experience as well. But there something unique about the Leica M which I love.

[@Phil.Austin]

really useful, especially with zone focusing. I'm a recent rangefinder and street photo convert :)

[@Gravitys-NOT-a-force]

Great video, very enjoyable. I have the M10 and both the 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux lens and the 75mm f/1.2 Noctilux lens. I think YOU have the ideal system for street photography. On the street - where people tend to be moving - shooting 'wide open' with the Noctilux lenses requires a different skill set. If you don't mind 95% of your photos being out of focus, you CAN shoot 'wide open' without Leica's EVF attachment, but I've given up even trying. And once you begin to rely on Leica's EVF your battery life will go down. And then there's the heavier weight of the Noctilux lenses. It'd be interesting to hear Henri Cartier-Bresson's take on the two Noctilux lenses.

[@kevingoza]

I hav always preferred manual photography. My first camera was a Minolta film SLR, 50mm lens. I always shot manual, even with a “Program” mode available. I have had my M10 but a short time, having shot in digital from a Nikon D300 to z6ii. I still love the tactile feel of the Leica best. I use my Nikon still, but the M10 is my go-to camera, hands down.

[@ronaldpiecek3535]

have you tried the M10-D? sonds like it will fit you perfectly. I also started with a M6 years ago. Went to a M8, then M240 because of the fullframe, but never really liked the body. The M10-D is the closest one to the M6.

[@deantaylor1512]

Great stuff .. have a film mp for years now but you now have me wanting an m10 (m10-d) great look from your files and really good shots .. a good eye .. D.

[@ankerwiedemann]

4 years late in my comment ;-) You don't have to miss shots in the tube. I would reccomend considering auto ISO for that environment and set the aperture to at least f4 or maybe 5.6 using zone focus. I know it takes away some of the dynamic range and might add noise, but hey you get the shot ;-) My most noisy poctures I just convert to monochrome and use high contrast filter in post to make it a deliberate choice of impression. At other times in the tube, you would definitely go for ISO 200 and get that train rushing in and human motion blur on the platform. Those are just a couple of ways I tried to play with it when visiting London.

[@bernardlesperance742]

When shooting in the tube set your colour balance to 'daylight'; you'll get very interesting colours from the indoor lighting.

[@MotorcycleMumbling]

Hey man, nice overview of the M10 and I like the shots. Is 35mm the only lens you use/have had so far? I'm in the same boat with the M4, and considering a 28 (not that I have framelines for it) or 50mm

[@frame-lines]

Yep I’m pretty much using a 35mm 90% of the time ! 😁

[@thomastuorto9929]

Won't stop you from getting on your knees but, The visi viewfinder Leica has would help a little for getting down low. I'm not sure it would still be a range finder with it thow! Nice looking photos. Colors straight out of camera?

[@lenshiker]

same setup luv it. enjoyed the vid🤙 stay healthy fellaz

[@frame-lines]

Ah thanks !

[@jamesamoh7340]

New subscriber here Josh! I’m thankful I found your channel. As newbie to photography, I was searching for Leica street photography settings. I’m still learning about distance scale. Your colors are so amazing. We would love to see how you go about your editing.

[@lordsoffilm5459]

Cool video. The M10 is a dream camera for me. For now, just rolling old school with my M3. With a 35mm goggle set up, I can shoot like you, f/8, 1/1000 and ISO 400 film. This pulls the film a bit in direct sunlight, but I like the look.

[@Ben-cx8de]

Hi Josh, thanks for the video, small bit of advice, be careful with your finger on the rangefinder patch window, even a little bit of grease on there can make the patch more difficult to see when focussing. Cheers!

[@frame-lines]

Thank you so much for the advice !

[@aghahanta108]

Sorry last question Josh! Haha. Anything you can share from experience with M10 compared to Leica Q, given that for most us the Q (while still hella pricey) is closer in reach than the M10.

[@frame-lines]

depends on whether or not you like with the fixed 28mm lens, I just sold my Q unfortunately - did love that camera though!

[@g33k3301]

I have both of them and I think both of them are a great addition in your bag. But if I could only have one, the Leica Q is the one I would pick. It's super quick, the 28mm is great for everyday photography and thanks to the great aperture you can use it for urban portraiture and in low light. :-)

[@ninetyeightexe]

i think a photo critic video would be great! (of your photos or some classic ones from famous street photographers)

[@SimonStec]

How do you find the screen quality for any live view shots? I currently have an m240 but the screens pretty poor in live view. Tempted to upgrade to an m10 but wondering how much of an improvement the screen is

[@wowsuchname1939]

Hi! I hope I can be of help for this, I used to use an M6 which I sold many years ago when I took a bit of a hiatus from photography, seeing the price of film I went back to digital - found an M10 at a great price. The M10 is brilliant, I was only anticipating using the rangefinder but use live view quite regularly, the screen is bright and never have issues with visibility. Took it on a hike the other day and found myself leaning more towards live view as was struggling seeing down the viewfinder as only had my prescription sunglasses! One thing worth noting is the battery when using live view isn’t anywhere near as good with just using the viewfinder. I carry my m10 with me most places, i tend to leave the battery without a charge for a few trips as its brill when not using the screen. Only got a few hundred shots using live view. I use the viewfinder most of the time but was pleasantly surprised with my day of using live view. Considering getting the EVF for the M10 as a middleground as hear it doesn’t tank the battery quite as much. But to answer your question, it’s brilliant. Zero complaints from me!

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

I'm a big advocate for the framelines hot tip of the day-- no more smashed noses.

[@frame-lines]

Ahaha excellent

[@stewartoliver654]

Brilliant photos thanks Josh, and good point about the nose, but still doesn't help those of us with a big nose and who use the left eye, actually most cameras can be an issue for the "left eyed." Also looking forward to an editing video showing how you achieve those wonderful colours.

[@frame-lines]

Aha yeah I hadn’t even thought of the left eye issue too - yeesh that must be a bit tricky 😅 more videos on the way ! Cheers Stewart

[@digitaldion]

I love my Leica M9. I first owned an M8. I also have a Canon Canonette QL17 - which is a film rangefinder. As you have said, the photography process seems so immersive and pure with a Leica. When I travel I often walk the city with my Leica and enjoy it through the lens. I lool for shapes, light, and moments in a completely different way. Thanks for the great video!

[@elmachomen]

That would probably be my dream camera and lens. Nice to hear your thoughts on the camera and how it affects the way you shoot compared to any other non-rangefinder camera. The shots you´ve shared are beautiful and as of now, I´m following here and in Instagram. Great work, keep it up, and stay safe!

[@chirag4]

cool video, subbed, ..... M10P (white limited edition with 50 summilux) owner of 3 months, & also have the "Tunnel-vision" (rightly called) DSLR canon 6D. I do find the M10P's OVF magnification 0.73x to be smaller, so, don't know if i should get the 1.25x or 1.4x Magnifier, .... the Visoflex EVF is not so good. Secondly i feel that the wider 28 or 35mm lens would be faster to focus manually than 50, but there was no choice, & i had to accept what came as kit, but no complaints, enjoying my time with this premium segment camera. Regards.

[@frame-lines]

Aha nice piece of gear ! Enjoy !

[@TENGUJAPON]

Did you notice if your style of shooting changes depending on the camera you're using? I mean, not different brands, but between M10 and M6. I use both, sometimes both in the same day and the kind of pictures I shoot with both cameras are different. It's unconsciously!

[@frame-lines]

Yeah I reckon so, mostly just because I’m conscious of the cost of film though I think 😅😅

[@antoineveling2650]

Josh, you have articulated something that I found difficult. A friend asked me why I liked using an M10. All I came out with was “It feels more manual”. The human interaction with a machine is important. If that interaction is a good one and it makes you want to pick up the machine and interact with it some more then it is a good thing. You need to experience it to understand that feeling working with a Leica. I get the same positive reaction as you do from the strangers I meet when I shoot with my M10. You also touched briefly on the mental thoughts of justification for buying a Leica. I’ve had similar thoughts too. BTW, you forgot to turn down your intro music. It ran all the way through your narration which I found distracting. Well, actually, it was annoying really - those same few bars repeating over and over. Maybe watch out for this next video. As for other topics, I see you had the 35mm cron. I use the 28mm Elmarit. Maybe a chat on your lens choice. Do you like the lens? I lust for the 35mm Lux! But it is bloody expensive! I see in another comment that they have the same lens as you do. I was glad you included your photos. I liked what I saw. Great eye! The colours, lovey quirky matches. The couple making shadow shapes. That bus in the rain - you are brave! How did your M10 like the rain? Some subtle humour from juxtaposing in your photos too - a la Matt Stewart. I nearly missed your photos at the end because as soon as the narrator starts the “remember to subscribe and give a thumbs...” wind up, I usually stop the video. Maybe a warning what is coming before you start your wind up next time perhaps. And the fruit loops at the start? Inspired! Great scripting! Last thing, your video mic quality was perfect. Overall, a very good video Josh. Thanks for making it. Cheers, Antoine.

[@HRWG99]

Your video is very informative. Thank you. I enjoyed it so much that I now have a Leica M10. May I ask, though, when zone focussing (something of a learning curve, that) do I ignore the fact that the two images in the viewfinder do not coincide as I have preset the focus distance? Huw

[@crispin8888]

Yes. Ignore them, as long as your zone focusing is correct. The two images will be a guide but not the deciding factor.

[@dennisdennis7069]

Like your style man!

[@frame-lines]

Ah thanks !

[@andyjame1971]

Exactly as described

[@HenleyBailey]

I love the manual-ness of the camera too. I've got bored of menu diving and electronic focus. It's just an annoying layer that demands my attention and sits between me and the 'moment' I'm trying to photograph. Much nicer to just have ISO, shutter and aperture as manual tactile inputs. Focusing is super fast if you practice in your livingroom by looking at an object and pre-focusing then bringing the camera up to confirm you got it spot on. It doesn't take long to get really good at it, then when on the street it's second nature. There's sometimes I wish I had some kind of quick auto-focus system (usually dogs/cats moving around) and also the rangefinder being offset from the sensor, so any critical framing can sometimes be slightly off if you don't take that in to consideration, especially when it's something close to the lens. But yeah, other than that I reckon the pros way outweigh the cons for keeping my brain in the right frame of mind for capturing cool street shots.

[@urdaddy5153]

Your eye strain could be a reaction of your body on pwm flickering of an oled screen, which is used in evf. If it was an ips one, it would have been better especially at night, but they're not as compact as oled. You can find more if you google about oled in phones as there is not much written about evf's specifically)

Tip for getting the focus right on dogs, focus while standing on the person and then squat down, you will get the focus spot on then.

I had previously owned an M9 with a 35mm lens but, because I wear glasses, I found focusing hard to judge due to the small focusing area in the optical viewfinder. I now do street photography with Fujifilm cameras, and currently own an X100V and a XF10. If I had the funds now, I'd actually buy the Q2 rather than an M camera... But that'll take a lottery win for that to happen these days... I prefer manual focus cameras as I'm an old Olympus OM1n user so I grew up with manual focusing... Flickr thesrpspaintshop

I am totally with you on the advantages of simple to use cameras and manual focusing. How ironic that we have to spend the most money to get the least electronic wizardry that just gets in the way of the creative process in my opinion. Joysticks and D-pads are not the same as pure manual focus. I’m about to invest in an X-Pro 3 to see if I can get a similar experience in a more affordable package.

Aperture being easily accessible via the body's aperture wheel i don't really miss compared to my analogue camera.

@@frame-lines thank you so much. I hope you're having at least an "ok" time during quarantine (isolation whatever you want to call it). And I want you to know how much I enjoy your style of photography ☺️✨

Please try the X-PRO 3 :)

We have another video on the xpro 3 !

Went from Fuji Xpro3 to M10. And it was kind a natural move to go real rangfinder not a simulation. Manual focusing feel much natural for me and kinda slowing down. Yes you can miss some shots but the positive thing is that you dont have 500 photos in the end of the day. My LCD is turned off too. I just press play only if im not sure about exposure. And my preview is monochrome. What i like the most on M10 is that i has no features or minimal. Exp comp wheel switched off. Kinda unnatural to comp photo. So yeah, simplicity is the key word for me. Im a bit in learning phase in Zone focusing but is easy and faster than AF actually and as you said you can kinda decide what do you want to focus. Im still learning to keep both eyes open to shoot (kinda feel that im more accurate to focus if i close left eye. Thanks for the video btw, i had Q too but was forced to sell to get M10. They was too close in price (used M10 body only) that i decided to go with the one to able change lenses. Still miss the Q. Best point shoot ever. What other lenses you have other than 35Cron?

[@frame-lines]

aha nice, I just sold my Q also. Just the 35mm for now but I think I might need to get a 28mm for the summer.. we will see! Thanks for watching - Josh

[@WoodenChickenHead]

£125 for a battery? You weren't joking!

[@frame-lines]

A bit steep 😅

[@nayuki2020]

for most ppl one battery is enough on M10, i reckon

[@duncandee2514]

Oh Josh u and hoolahoops 😂😂😂

[@konmorse]

I wish I was right eye dominant. My nose touches the back of the camera regardless if it’s a rangefinder :(

[@nxtlightdesign7440]

Nice video - please lower the background music!

[@frame-lines]

Aha noted !

[@HenkMelching]

I find the music? Very annoying.

[@antoineveling2650]

Hear hear. I agree.

[@condal32]

BUSTED, on the Hoola Hoops front!!

The Leica M system, analog or digital, forces you to slow down and stay in the scene without distractions. You can see the scene with your second eye and because of the rangefinder you see what is around your frame. With a Leica M you get definitely better in composition and natural style.
