Mate, these shots are unreal! Awesome work. Keen to try it out myself sometime

That didn’t last long for Pentax. They didn’t produce many of them, so there was a backlog of people waiting to get them. Now that enough have been distributed in just a few weeks - there is now a surplus of them. Turns out that they are not selling well at all. Wonder if Pentax will reduce the price to four hundred?

Awesome video, Lucien

You mentioned "phase" detect did you mean multi field detect?

Nice one!

Hiii, We should meetup for a photowalk. Enjoy Vienna.

❤❤❤

Nice work mate. I love the last set of images in the collage, haven’t seen something like that done before.

Nice video! This camera is really interesting. What camera did you use for the POV video?

I can't help but notice there's no setting that corresponds to the zone between 54cms and 1m. Like what setting to have it on when the subject isn't a meter away but also isn't 50cms? Prefect example is someone sitting across the table at a restaurant. It's called the 'extremely close distance' setting, but 1m is not extremely close.

I worked in that abandoned building a few years ago for a few months. Carpet tiles, suspended ceiling, fluorescent lights, the usually fair.

Be sick to see 36 dyptics. There’s the challenge! Seems like a fun way to shoot film whilst being economical.

Awesome video Luce looks like you had a lot of fun with the Pentax , pictures look great. Glad you were able to resurrect your DJI. 😎👍

Absolute insanity! That window you were watching from was an elite spot, which made your coverage awesome! I had no idea this existed, so pretty cool to go behind the scenes.

Great Video! Was like looking at myself shooting since those are the same two spots I frequently visit since 2007 😂 we also share the same shooting style, lovely to see your shooting! (Great camera work!)

I have a mint G1 and G2 with the OEM flash, 35 mm, 45 mm and the 90 mm but I also picked up an Elan for like $10. I use this often when not shooting with either Contax (with either the EF 40 mm 2.8 or 50 mm 1.8). It's quite plasticky but I'm amazed at the photos this thing takes. Not as fun as my Contax G models but it's a reliable film alternative that takes great pics.

Killer video! Had no idea about this event. Such a cool thing they are still doing it. Crazy and all but still it’s nice they kept it. The light looked so nice as well, very warm, bouncing around the dirt and the buildings, alternating between the shadowy parts. On a side note PETA and the rest should probably focus on say, the chickens first, before attacking a bunch of Italians keeping tradition or a tiny % of population eating foie gras.

That's hectic dude, I have mixed feelings about the event... but imagine the bangers 😅 Great video!

Great video dude! 🎉

Hi Lucien! 😎Wow! Unbelievable! You covered the Siena event superbly. Wouldn’t have been able to comprehend that event without seeing your Video amazing! Thanks for sharing. ✌️

Nice job! Thank you

dont quite get why you would spend 11k Aus on a 60 MP camera but then use it at medium DNG. Am I missing something ?

Thanks for the tips, just got the Q3 will give them a go! Love the Jesse Marlow print!

Are you really using S-mode?

Used your recommended settings for street work with the Q3 and I am super impressed and grateful for the results. I used a Q exclusively for nearly 4 years of shooting (have been a photographer for over 55 years) and it was my fist Leica. Lot's of impressive performance but terrible autofocus particularly when so much better tech was available for rent even from Leica's digital partner, Panasonic. The Q3 is miles better than the Q in may ways. Had high expectations for autofocus improvements but with the settings I was using before your suggestions I was seeing at best a 20% improvement. I do a lot of shooting from the hip. The settings you recommended are stellar. Thank you so much.

Where does this idea come from that film cameras or old lenses are blurry and washed out? I have family photos from around 1900. They are tack sharp.

The first photo of the dread person is a smoking frame imo . The zoned out expression is so real. I love the lady at the bottom left edge peaking in and the one in the back right kind of entering the frame. It feels very balanced and real. Those are my favourite kind of street photos, far more than any juxtapositions or anything!

Great video!👍🏻😄 video with a Gopro?

Great video! GoPro on your chest?

For street, I set f8 @ 1/250; auto ISO with focus set to 2 meters. Drive mode is single shot. LCD off of course.

I don't know why so many people call this the perfect street camera. I miss shots all the time because of slow response after auto power off. If I disable auto power off then the battery life is total shit. Never miss a shot with Contax T2/G2

I would rather have a clean master image and add a fake glimmer glass look in post (if possible)

Did you travel with just the Q3? I am considering one, but not sure if I could travel with just a 28mm. I know you can crop with this sensor, but so can my A7rv.

Isn’t it a bit off to surreptitiously take photos of people, where you don’t dare look them in the eye and be honest about what you’re doing?

What's point of Vivid setting using dng only. I thought that is for jpg output

Good video! ❤❤❤

Do you use Sf20?

Ты прикольный чувак)

Very wide lens, a huge distortion

Hi Lucien! I have a little question about your shooting style on Leica Q3 Is that DNG with postprocessing in Adobe LR? Or JPEGs directly from camera? The resultat is incredible! I saw your video about settings on Q3, but not understand - VIVID color profile is working only with JPEGs, no? Beforehand thanks for answer and wish u a good day

Turn off EVF and LCD, set focus to manual and set the lens to 10ft. Set aperture to f8. Shoot everything that comes to within 8ft of you and it will be in focus. If you know the lens' field of view well, you will know roughly what is in the frame.

These are really the most primitive tips I have ever heard, I recommend you use one cell phone rather and you can save a lot of money or buy several cell phones. Please do not take photos with the Q3, this is pearls where swine are cast.

Could I ask what are your camera settings and what power do you set the flash to

Love your photos and your work with the Leica. What is your setup for the video? Equipment? Chest attached? Thanks!

Lucien. Do you see any problem w magenta cast? Do your pics get post processed?

thx for sharing. what Af method are you using? and do you use single or continuous Af? thx

Love the dog. Nice street photography

Nice video, good commentary! Subbed

I love the way you capture light. Your pictures are beautiful, thanks for sharing this video. 😎✌️😮

@lucien - Great Vid. I'm taking my Q3 to Tokyo in a few weeks... Could you share your shutter speed and focus approach doing street? Zone or auto..? Thanks.
