Video

I love the black-and-white sample photos. You used in this video. Beautiful dynamic range and use of darks and lights. Intensity and contrast without being too crazy intense and contrasty.

4 years later and this video is still so relevant lol I purchased a used x-t2 and now I am in the process of selling my Sony a7 II haha

Nice video & review 👍🏻 Q; where did you get the lens hood?

I wish my town was as “boring” as yours 😢

Philly in the house! Great channel!

Well make that six years on and you're still helping folk. I liked the wee Irn Bru cheers at the end. So Cheers back from Falkirk 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

I found your comments about criticism for photographing the back of a person pretty broad. In wildlife photography, avoiding rear shots makes sense since they often lack interest. However, it's different for human subjects. In the photos you mentioned, the focus isn't on the derriere but rather on capturing a different perspective or context. Saul Leiter once said: "A person's back tells me more than the front."

Your a Git, from another part of the country,,good for you,muppet,,you an artist,,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is it good with Leica M11 60 mpx sensor?

black on black can be useful for an eyesight test, but probably not for reviewing the straps😂

Nice video! I'm thinking of buying this lens to use when I travel and it seems like a good option. Great pictures!!

Get the VM Ultron2 35/2 and you will not miss the Summicron at all. The Voigtlander is a better and smaller 35/2. I have had a v4 35 Cron for 35 years and love that lens for its character so def a fan boy here but facts are facts. IMO the Ultron is the best M 35/2 buy for money. If Leica was smart, they would discontinue the current ASPH, keep the APO, and reissue the v4. lol mine is showing its age and would love to have a new one!!!

Great review! Do you have any take on the difference between this lens and the 35mm f1.4 Summilux?

I have to say that your review corresponds well to the short experience that I recently had with it, and even with paying used pricing I decided to return it. The lens certainly can deliver good IQ (on the X-T30 I used it with), but the lens is unexpected heavy/dense, and I just noticed it so much while using it, and combined with the overly stiff zoom ring and what I found to be the inconsistent photo AF I ended up having a lousy shooting experience and many missed shots. For me, the lack of a mid-telephoto zoom is and continues to the most major shortcoming of the Fuji system as a travel photography system, which I otherwise like for that purpose. (I've tried the 70-300 and found that it sucked too, to my great disappointment.)

such an awesome camera, jealousy is at an all time high 😂😂😂

A regular shoelace knot is a square knot, which is really quite different to the cobra (Solomon) knot that you tied, you must have been pretty confused when trying to tie your shoes when you were a wean! Great to hear a (west central?) Scots accent again though and I hope that you have found a simpler way to tie yer laces these days (bet you only wear slip-ons). 🙂

Hahahahhaha - stick to your Cannon. The M262 is a brilliant camera and it's pretty laughable that you don't get it but still choose to make a video about something that you obviously with respect don't know much about!

Liam. Where did you buy one in the UK?

Nice video…next time include the camera settings for each shot. That would be very helpful for your viewers. 👍🏼👍🏼

for me one of the best review about lenses overall............ and the end the klick do everybody self....... (hopefully not the KI in future........... Your klick-finger is very good..........

Do you never miss a shot because you miscalculated the distance? Also which aperture are you using usually?😊

Leica look is not about image quality. The Summicron lenses are not the lenses from Leica that can render the Leica look. Summilux and Noctilux are the lenses with caractère that will render the LL. Some other oldest lenses from Leica ca also do it. Those lenses were made by hands and are different to each others.

xt2 is STILL good in 2024

Yeah, I don’t believe in the Leica Luke either tbh. That dude’s way overrated.

Litigation the American's favourite word

Specially in Britain with all those CCTV cameras, people should be used to being photographed by cell phones and dashboard cameras. Also if your laws are like Canada’s any photos you take become your property to do with as you please.

Just found your videos man! really like your work! Just subscribed

I can’t believe I found this lens on FB marketplace with only two very minor imperfections inside the lens (however no effect on images - so far that I’ve noticed) for £50, from a retired hobbyist! An Incredible lens for sure.

Work on your lightning, it's distracting.

CI The

you say xt2 quite often, yet the title is xpro2, can you clarify? :)

for me, i can see its value as a one and done kind of leica lens; great IQ, a fair heft, and sick ergonomics. heck, it’s even cheaper than the KoB because used modern lens isn’t so demanded, so it’s a banger value price to performance in second-hand market. but if you already have other M lenses, it’ll be moot in marginal returns. since they can do 80-90% for a fraction of the price- it’s hard to justify having one. as for me, been enjoying it a lot on the m4, and like the flexibility of the 6-bit tech if i get a digital M. i knew i wanted a cron later on, “buy once cry once” so they say!

Saw a GRDiii from 2009 online for under $350. Should I get that one?

Just bought this! I’ve been shooting film for years and all I need is a 28mm, snap focus (zone focus) I needed a digital camera for weeks I can’t afford film.

Are you editing your photos, and if so: how? ☺️ Just bought a m 240 and the same 35mm you have 😍

Nice. I saw a lot of good shots in downtown Dallas. Hope you enjoyed!

Amazing video, Thanks for the help, was looking for a chest mount that wasn’t a strap around my body!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

thanks for these videos, im just getting into street photos and watching these is helpful to understand things to look for

Prefer xt1 and xpro2, my cameras 😂

I have had that exact camera and lens for over 6 years now and have yet to see anything even close to the photos you are producing here. What would mean more to me is to find out how you got these photos to look the way they do. Until then, I will just keep trying. Indeed, these really are gorgeous photos. My compliments.

I wish this translated well the X-E3 . But seems informative. So thumbs up from me.

yes there was a man confronted me in a cafe , I was not taking his picture I was taking coffee car and barista, he was there , he was not my main object, but he was so overacted I told him , not you I didn't notice you were there, then he walked away. anyway if someone ask me to delete I will, don't want to waste my time with these super humans.

Am acest obiectiv și pot spune că dacă îți cunoști bine aparatura poți să te ridici la nivel profesional...totusi pe mine ma intereseaza mai mult sa obțin imagini artistice cu acest obiectiv decât imagini profesionale.Nice review.

Which fuji lens is good for low light and night photography.

So its always gonna shoot at 40mp or we can lower the file size?

2024 and still 600 dollers

hi Liam. Precisely which model strap did you get? could not tell if it was the friendship strap or the medium. Looks to be a very comfortable fit.

Hoping one day it will be an f2

Why people love those videos which tell us nothing about anything really important…. 😮… there is no value in comparing fotos from different cameras…make fotos and be happy….

Nice review, Liam! Interesting points. Really like how thorough this is 👏
