I will wait till the Sony rx1r iii comes out

What makes you say it's a 27 or 26mm and not a 28? Why do you think Leica is lying or not correct about it being 28?? 🤔

Greats photos man! I need to stay away from your videos so I don't force myself to buy a Leica LOL Just kidding, your work is great.

As a photographer based on Mexico, I love your take on capturing the everyday life here, such a beautiful work!

Hola Luis, gracias por el vídeo, te puedo pedir que ajustes de color usas en Lr para editar la foto 6:46 ? gracias!

Gonna be interesting to see, how fast Panasonic users grow, being that they're about to push "simulations" / real time LUTS heavy ! Feel like ease of use, quickness of having your images dialed in, in camera...and being able to send em to mobile / post, is growing more and more these days. Before anybody comes for me, I shoot Fuji + Lumix lol. Love Canon, still got a 5D laying around lol.

From one photographer to another. Love your work and love seeing your work. Keep it bro. I’ll be going back to my hometown in Mexico in about a month. And I loved what you said “capturing the town as it is now how I want it to be”

Weather sealing ... weather sealing ... weather sealing... then battery..

Hey do you still recommend it in 2024?

Fuji active positives: 1) lenses are way cheaper and outstanding quality. 2) Physical user interface and the customization. 3) I was a raw guy but shoot raw and jpg now with custom film sims setup the way I post process. I'm actually ok to send out jpgs out of the camera without PP. The only thing it lacks is in cam color grading. 4) the output quality and the user interface make it a joy to use. Passive positive: Looks are not a factor but I'm glad it looks great; it does inspire. However, I'm the photographer, not the model, so I don't buy a camera as a poser. What a shallow reason to buy it. Who lets influencers and commenters peer pressure them? Jeeze. The need to fit-in strips individuality. I digress. I would add the X100 to my gear for its portability, but it's not much smaller than an XT5. No way is that minor size convenience and lack of lenses worth the cost of my XT5 body. The X100 is a < $600 camera. It is smarter to get the XT5 and a lens at that point. Plus, posers would be +3 points over their competition to flaunt the XT5 😂 don't cheap out on your image it says you're lesser. 😆 I'm glad Fuji sells so many over priced X100s tho... they get more money to improve their auto focus, which is a real negative to cover action based photography for many.

Picked up a Leica Q2 this year after selling off all my other gear and I have to say it’s hands down the best/favorite camera I’ve ever owned. The files are amazing and the lens definitely has that look to it. I actually loveeeee the high contrast BW SOOC as well. The only downside of the entire camera imo is the damn file sizes. I really wish they had a compressed raw option to get them down under 50mb. Usually my dng files are around 85-90mb.

The lens on the Q2 is digitally corrected. It has very had barrel distortion if you view the I corrected files. Kind of a beautiful lie if you ask me...

Nice video about leica in general, yup leica Q2 is best for the money right now, if you get good condition second hand unit, majority of leica Q2 is beat up, when I subscribed to your channel, I got my first leica, it's leica Q2 monochrome, because there's no leica Q2 at that time, but I love the experience shooting with it, then I sold it, then I bought leica m11, I'm happy right now with my leica M, but sometimes I missed leica Q series when the weather is not good and the Autofocus. That's all

your photos are stunning, i lovee the colors! one day i'll get a leica 🥲but for now i'll live vicariously thru your videos hehe

Sold/traded my Q2 for a M10R, and whilst I’m loving the rangefinder experience, as well as the ability to change lenses, I couldn’t but feel nostalgic watching your video. The Q2 fantastic colour rendition, well-crafted tactile experience and how simple it feels to pick up and snap memories away is something that does not get brought up enough when comparing the Q series against the M lineup. Have been following your channel for a few years now, since I discovered it whilst searching for a thorough explanation of Q2 settings and menus (seriously, superb tutorial series!) until now. It’s great to see you back at posting content. Keep up the good work!! Cheers!

sheeeeeshhhh! back to back uploads! a great week to be a Luis fan!

Thanks Very few mention about the learning curve

I don't get why people think it's a minor upgrade? New sensor going from 26-40 mp. IBIS which works in video. Open gate 6k recording. These are great significant upgrades.

We see all the cool reviews. We now know for sure it is a great camera :) Same for the X100V, but neither of these cameras are available. How can a brand like Fujifilm not produce these? And if they do it on purpose, I am sure they are losing some customers.

Hi, which thumb grip do you use and is it a good fit for the x100VI? I’ve seen some but they’re for the V and don’t fit great for the VI.

Eyyyy I made it on a Luis Chavez video! That hybrid viewfinder is badass.

Sadly the autofocus is so bad that it becomes unreliable to use fujfilm cameras

Great video, dude!

If you have the itch for an x100VI for photos, consider the X-E2 with a Voigtländer 27 mm Ultron. You will save a lot of money and probably have more fun.

Pizza Planet sling bag > X100VI

The playground is elite!

Hahahhahahaa you did what I did, have q2 and still buys x100vi…congrats!

first

BTW you need to try the GFX with the Mitakon 65mm 1.4. It’s a magical look ;)

Tocayo!!! Great video brother :)… how do you like the GFX compared to the Q2? I have the GFX50R and just ordered the q2 to test. Wondering which one you liked more.

Btw, that would be Waimea VALLEY, not Waimea Canyon. The Canyon is on my isle (Kauaʻi), not on Oʻahu. On the topic of the video, I'd own that camera today if I could afford it/justify the cost 😅! One day I'll add it to my event/wedding kit.

I guess it all depends on what you shoot and how you use this camera. The autofocus is fine for me, but I don't shoot kids running around. I can live with the battery life. Here's my wish list. Drop all the radio stuff to make some room to bring the flash back. If you feel the need to be connected to social media all the time, shoot with your smart phone. Implement a tilting rear screen, even if it adds 1/4 inch to the thickness. I can live with that. Waist level shooting would make this a perfect street camera. I would definitely buy it.

дякую! хочу купити Q3

Nice bag, let me know the tripod name and model please

I’m very pleased with my Ricoh GRiiix but frustrated by the Highlight Weighted metering mode. Compared to my other (full frame) camera, the default setting comes out far too dark, so I end up using Exposure Compensation to adjust and still maintain the Highlights….in practice I’m now finding it easier just to use the EP button. Can the default Highlight Weighted metering mode be adjusted?….I’ve not found an option for that. Any advice would be appreciated please - Thanks.

Love it.

Great video! Do you remember where you got the thumb rest from?

Really enjoyed your video I also am thinking about upgrading from iPhone 13 Pro Max mostly for the log and camera capabilities also I am vlogging and shooting more videos now and I think it will be a worthwhile investment to upgrade to iPhone 15 pro max.

Nice! Looks like Descanso Gardens.

Do you sell the lightroom presets used in the photos in this video?

I've been using the archetype profiles since the first video you did on them waaaay back, and now I never edit a digital photo without them. just dropped by to see if you were still using them! great images as always

With a Professional career spanning almost 40 years there but a few lenses that truly give you something special - the GF110mm is one of these lenses. The only other Fuji lens to make it my list of star performers is the Fuji GX100-200 for the GX680

Someone forgot to tell you its NOT medium format 😮

How does it compare to the Leica 60 mpix cameras like the SL3, particularly in low light and dynamic range?

Great set of images luis. I’ve always wanted and still want to visit Mexico.

Nice overview. New to the Fujifilm ecosystem after 20 years of Canon mostly full frame. Got the X-T5 but the GFX would be a great portrait camera with a single lens. Too expensive for my needs and wouldn't pass wife's review.😅

I’d snag this camera in a heartbeat if I could afford it. I think I saw some pics of downtown Claremont in there… love snapping some pics there

Great video. I’m loving the 100 II

The GFX is still a camera I would want to own one day. the resolution is crazy... but the cost of bujying more hard drives is 💀

Would love to see more on the GFX. Great photos dude 👍
