THE most information-rich photo series on CZcams. Many thanks.
Wow, thanks!
This channel should have at least 100K subs.
Glad you think so!
New to Leica. I’m really enjoying your videos. Thanks!!
My favorite straps: Artisan and Artist red silk, Leica COOPH double strap for the SL, and Sailor Straps.
Another great presentation. And live so don’t worry about the gremlin issues.
I have the M system and the Q2.
Probably psychological but I feel more creative and enjoy shooting with the M far more than the Q2. Don’t get me wrong, the Q2 is deadly accurate but I feel the M images are more charismatic perhaps (that is when I nail the exposure and focus).
That's a great point and we'd totally agree. The camera in hand does influence your pre-visualization and ultimately the pictures you take. An M is more deliberate. A Q more instantaneous. They're both great options for all the reasons we discussed.
One quick addition to the last question on the Q2 versus the M10R plus a 28mm Summilux -- the latter is indeed sharper than the Q2 lens due to the SDC corrections that the Q2 applies to its much smaller F1.7 lens (to keep it small). This is apparent away from the center. It's not huge, but there are not perfectly equal as stated. Not a big deal and the other factors well noted here are no doubt dominant with regards to the decision here.
Such an epic episode. The internet gets screwy then the lights go out! 😂 but great episode guys. I love the show and I keep rewatching old episodes!
I like 24mm adds more environment
and 90mm for separation
I picked Sony FE 85mm f1.8 for street and I love it! Perfect for subjects across the street and portraits of cooperative strangers. Tons of toneh during the day and bokeh at night :)
My default setup for cruising: Q2 around neck and a backup C-Lux in a cargo pants pocket when on local land excursions. This covers 90% or more of the photos I want to take, and there is no sensor dust problem. I'd rather spend time on ship activities and not worry about cleaning sensors. I also bring a CL aboard with a set of lenses, and a compact tripod. This provides all the handy options for on board shooting, balcony shots, time lapse, parties, other activities; and special excursion situations (the other 10%).
I ALWAYS carry a second battery (2 for the Q) and a NITECORE CHARGER I purchased @Leica Store Miami online, for the cameras I have: One for M10, One for M240, One for Q116. And a spare battery. I take an external power pack and purchased a 3 foot USB cable. So when I'm shooting with one battery, Or sitting at a coffee shop, The other is charging in my bagpack Basically, So power pack is so fast (2A Output) that I don't get stuck without a battery!
Can't recommend the NITECORE enough, Except for the Short cable. The M10 model has 2 battery slots and they are tiny, light and come with a fabric pouch. Much lighter than taking the Leica chargers and gives a solution on the field, On the street.
I have a COOPH rope strap and used it for awhile but it was a little stiff for my taste, maybe it loosens up with time. However, I discovered Gordy's Camera Straps and have to say their simple, leatherwork is really great - it's a great match for me and very affordable. Highly recommended.
The Q2 is really a good main and secondary camera to have. I too would pair with the m10/50lux.
I have bag problem too. I have a Leica bag .(overworth) in black- gorgeous … both if those Onas . We have similar taste ! 😂 they are good, if you carry all that $$ in gear you need to go all in! Those leicas are dreamy. Have the Q2 … would love an M ! Lenses so expensive . I have to canon M 4 and a whole prime line up. I’d have to sell those. Not there yet, even though I went to photography school during film and the M flexes those muscles. I think I may have to wander into Soho store today…. 😄
For the wide angle range actually 16 18 21 and 24 and 28 the step need to be closer on ultra wide side before past 35.
I have a Billingham Hadley One and Think Tank Retrospective as shoulder bags. Peak Design for backpack(everyday 20L). Manfrotto Roller for when I want to take the kitchen sink on trips.
Sounds like a good setup of bags!
Same here but have the Tenba roller and Tenba video backpack as well. Domke F-6 and the photojournalist bag are excellent lightweight bags that can take a beating.
The both Tri-elmar f4 plus one portrait Len’s. While 16 in crop mode is 24. Therefore used the higher pixel density sensor. But tri Elmar is pricy and it is only a f4 also higher pixel density is also more expensive.
Video at 1:31:50 - "Leica table-top tripod & ball head" - I also own this combo, but my favorite BY FAR is the amazing Minox Pocket Tripod; it even has a built-in cable release !
Still have the boxes for my MEDIUM ball head and small tripod. Price on the head box was $25! Pod was $15. Keep in mind I made $600 monthly.
Wow. One word: inflation.
Love all your shows. Am now completely caught up having watched all! I am enjoying your comments on bags. When you have a bag episode, please consider Fogg. I’ve bought too many to mention, but love their build, aesthetic, function and customer support. My dog chewed up my favorite. I sent it in, and Nigel and bee rebuilt it better than original. They are a must mention.
Great tip!
I agree Fogg bags are of excellent build quality.
Keep the back of lenses clean and inside of back caps free of dust. My option 2 is the light and bendable fuzzy pen to pick up dust. 3 is Eyelead.
#2 is sensor clear and sensor pen.
Do not buy the cheap imitation wands from China. They can and will destroy cover glass as they are far to sticky.
Use the ones for Pentax if you use an M9.
By by being careful I can go years without a wet clean.
The links are always good - because you know which stuff not to get because all the expensive stuff is linked always.
Great strap for an M Gordy
I was surprised to find my SL2 charger didn't have connection & car adapter that my M10 came with. A bit of a disappointment.
Should battery be charged to 80% for longevity of the battery or 100% all the time?
😀😀😀😀
good
Josh....one of the worse things to damaged camera equipment is to advise putting a tripod inside a bag.
Love your videos but just thought I would pick you up on this.
Battery life management: it is better to let it run low and re-charge? Or top off whenever?

Wow !
You mention that the M10R has Dual Native ISO. I'm familiar with how that works from owning and using Panasonic Varicam V35 and LT's; where there is two "native settings" 800 ISO and 5000 ISO from which we often gain DOWN in order to get both high or low ISO and less noise. The M10R has that loveky ISO controil with thge knob on the top left, but what are the two native settinbgs? It would be very helpful to know, and to the best of my knowledge is not discussed in the literature or operation manual. Can you fill in the missing information? Thanks! JSA
Hi from Philippines
What do say to someone when you have taken their picture on the street and they say, " Don't ever do that always ask permission to take some ones photo"
Always be respectful of other people's wishes. I'd apologize and move on. Generally, I'm more likely to ask for a picture, than to try to be sneaky. That way, there's never any confusion and much less change at a negative interaction with a photo subject.
Hey what were the photobooks mentioned? I can't remember where in the video i heard them
Thanks for informative vidéos. Please specify thé brand name and modele of thé 90 dégrée direct in the wall plug for the Leica charger? (Sorry for the autocorrect French accents!)
No brand name. Leica Store Miami sources these plug adapters. Here's a link to the 90 degree adapter: lsm.to/Y9Uev
Which is physically smaller? Summarit 50 f2.5 or Summicron 50 v5?
The Summicron isn't a big lens by any measure, but the Summarit is definitely more compact.
2:16:00 you should have mentioned the pain in the ass it is to get the Peak Design "anchor connectors" attached to the body of the camera.
I know I’m a little late to the party but I used dental floss to pull the anchor through the hole of my M10R and it Works like a charm. Got it done in under 30sec per anchor. Let me know how it works for you. FYI, I wrapped the dental floss around a skewer stick once I threaded through the hole to keep from hurting my when when pulling.
My only camera is a Leica M2 with a summilux 35 v2
David, are you related to Alexander, the founder(I think) of the old Alexander's department stores?
That goes back a long way to Fordham Road, in The Bronx, New York City and other places.

How safe is the ona bowery in rain?
Are you aware of a double lens mount like optech for l mount?
Nothing that we know of currently. They might not hold the same advantage as the M back-to-back caps though. Two M lenses will take the same vertical space as one SL zoom. Perhaps a double cap could be useful for Summicron-SL lenses, but you'd still need a fairly deep camera bag to accommodate their combined length.
@@RedDotForum acknowledged. I'll just buy 2 L mount rear covers and superglue them together. I did this 20 years ago with my m6 system!
There is half a million of USD sitting of the table 😁😜
Not quite. Haha. However, Josh and I led a workshop to Monument Valley a few years ago where we provided loaner S Systems to all the participants. We tallied up all the cameras and lenses for fun.... $500,000. Insane.
Can someone explain to these two dudes how to clean optical peace of glass which covers sensor? Don’t ever use the lolipop stick, you will never get clean sensor with that stuff.
Can you ship to Europe?
Leica Store Miami does ship to Europe via UPS Worldwide Express. Any orders over 3000 USD ship for free.
28 in hyper focus is a lot easier, which can have lesser light challenge than 35 for DOF
Xanadu,
Watching that acam 1100 bag with all zip teeth so close to the Leica cams makes me cringe. Defo a big no for me. Have the Hadley small pro which is pretty damn nice.
Of course we all joke about ion storms disrupting the stream, but they can be very serious things. What if Josh, David and Jose were swapped out for their counterparts from a mirror universe during the disruption? What would be the consequences? czcams.com/video/8_rTTXCOpL8/video.html
Haha. How do you know we weren't? ;)
Mirror, Mirror is a classic Trek episode, btw.
I persoanlly prefer 35 for street . 28 looks like an iPhone.
You should open a Shop 😆 you guys are Salesmen . camera gears are expensive. My advice is buy what you need not what you want. All uou need is any camera and good lense. U need $10.000 if u listen to this none sense. Looking for bankruptcy 😆
why pay for overpriced Leica gear?
Because we can.
