It’s a GoPro 11

@@BernardGatt Thank you!

vacance 🎆

Oh la la merci! Buon Ann!

Yeah, someone also suggested extracting the CUBE files from the app. And since it’s quite an open secret at this point where that 60MP sensor is coming from, it should be very easily adaptable to some Sony cameras.

It’s the Chinese Garden of Serenity in Malta. I will try using a spot meter and averaging the exposure out for my next pack. Hopefully I get better results.

Thank you! I was hoping to get to the breakwater, but the area was completely flooded 😂

Thank you for subscribing! Is there any particular content you’re interested in?

It’s better, much better, but definitely not Sony better 😂

I’m really hoping the M12 changes this.

@@BernardGatt I'm sure a lot of people have spent a decent fortune saying the same thing after every new generation of digital Leica since the M8!

Yeah, I agree; it’s extremely hard to justify. Personally, I wouldn’t want to shoot with any other 35mm camera besides my M6/MP, but when it comes to digital, there are so many options.

Thank you! They’re not out of camera JPEGs. The main reason is that I’m trying to achieve a consistent look in my digital photos, and I want to be able to replicate it across different cameras.

Thank you, really appreciate your comment! There's so much action going on, I love markets.

Thank you ❤️ unfortunately I didn’t, i’ll try to go back and ask if its ok to take some shots inside, it would look amazing in B&W.

Yeah, you’d expect a camera with limited features to be super snappy. Imagine using an M11-D and it freezes up 😬

@ exactly. The film Leica M were snappier than all the SLRs of the time (no mirror to lift before triggering the shutter). They were quasi instantaneous. The coupled rangefinder was faster than the groundglass of the SLR to focus precisely enough to get satisfactory impression of perfect focus on any film you loaded (with wide to standard lenses anyway). A fantastic tool. In the digital age, the Leica M are slower to boot, slower to wake from sleep and slower to focus than the lowest end cheapo MILC. It is senseless toy that seduces buyers through a mix of artisan luxury appeal and nostalgia driven marketing.

Thank you 🙇‍♂️

It’s very beautiful inside the fortress, will eventually do a walk there 😁

It’s a look you apply in camera, if you’re familiar with Fujifilm, it’s like their film simulations.

Hmm, there’s a CCD look about these images. Very nice✌️🇦🇺

Not sure what to expect, it will be the first time I shoot SX70 film.

Yeah, I find that the OG Q3 is more “for everyone” in terms of focal length, you also have a 60mp sensor so, if you need to, crop. Personally I just never connected with the 28, that’s why I sold my Q2.

I’m amazed Leica actually went with a tighter focal length. The 28mm is for everyone but it feels the 43mm does a better job in making you feel more comfortable and you don’t need to always fit everything in the frame ( say a building or mountain ). And let’s not forget how much everyone cropped on the original. It’s a feature no doubt, but this feels more what the majority would have wanted from the very beginning. Definitely considering in this camera tbh. Great video btw. 👍

The beauty of the 43 for street photography is that you can get the shot from a farther distance so as not so be so intrusive.

People include too much stuff in their 28 field of view, and mostly produce boring pictures as a result.

The Q3 43’s lens indeed limits wide field photography in relatively tight spaces. In relatively wide spaces, effectively wide angle shots can be created by stitching together multiple shots taken with the 43 mm lens. I took a new Q3 43 and my M11 Monochrom (w/a Leica Super-Elmar-M 21 mm f/3.4, a terrific lens) on a 10 day trip in China this last Fall and found that I used the Q3 43 much more often (and I LOVE the M11M).

Someone on Threads tried to use Capture One's Match Look feature, it got close, but not enough.

Yeah Lightroom should let you toggle through these looks via profiles for dng

Thanks for saying this. I was going to ask if raw or only jpeg. If cameras (all brands) can add sharpness , contrast & the like adjustments in camera, I don't understand why not at least in a tiff format or something so one still has the option of a full raw file. I believe that having the untouched raw file for editing (or not) is the reason camera companies don't provide these treatment looks in the raw format even though one has to actually select the treatment knowing that the original raw would be altered. Just a thought.

The Leica Looks are just standard CUBE files. You can create an Adobe Camera RAW Profile from them and apply them to every camera you want. Though it should be one with the 61MP Sony sensor base in order to work. Profiles can be extracted from the app and Leica conveniently supplies you with the decryption keys if you are looking for it 😅

I will definitely look into this! Thanks!

Thank you! Glad you like them ❤️

The M11-D is a very interesting camera. The point about my video is not to say that the M11 is a bad camera, I just think that if you're shooting film with a Leica M, it kind of doesn't make sense to own a digital M.

Great! Hope you found it useful! The end shots were with Kentmere 400 pushed at 3200.

@BernardGatt Damn ! I thought there would be more grain.

It’s super clean looking, and it makes sense really. 400 speed films are finer in grain than 3200.

It really depends on what you’re shooting, something like Kentmere 400 goes for around $6, I think the most expensive part at this point is dev & scan.

It’s the Cinestill TCS-1000, but any other sous vide should work.

In the full video I go more in depth about my thoughts on generative vs assistive Al. But considering how divisive this subject is, I would expect adobe to be more cautious when saying such things.

Yeah, an M is designed to be MF and that’s fine.

Like the Sony RX1 and it's detachable EVF, the M cameras have the Visoflex 2 EVF. Your statement is incorrect.

Except that Leica does make the Visoflex 2 EVF for those times you think you need an EVF... focus peaking and everything. I had to buy a separate EVF for my Sony RX1, so not a unique situation. Sony's EVF's are WAY worse than the Leica EVF's (much lower resolution, than, say the Q3). They don't even have a rangefinder, their menus are convoluted and their app is not nearly as good. Just sayin'

@@teseglet Oh, so fist you have to buy a rangefinder camera that you do not want for more than double what you need and then you have to biy an extern EVF, great, not! I have NO problems what so ever with Sony menu, just customize your own! What app? Just sayin

Maybe "have to" was a bit too strong, I do own VL lenses and have taken some of my favorite photos (mainly because of their character) on the M11, still I think if you're buying a ~$9k body you will eventually gravitate to buying Leica glass, its one of the main reasons to buy a Leica anyway.

Agreed, some VL lenses are just incredible, but still, if you're buying a ~$9k body you will eventually gravitate to buying Leica glass, its one of the main reasons to buy a Leica anyway.

@@BernardGatt agree to disagree. I buy the best lens for the output and budget. For example the Voigtlander 28/1.5 is superior to the 28/1.4 Summilux for my purposes. The Zeiss 35/1.4 ZM Distagon is superior to the 35mm Summilux ASPH. etc.

The voitlander 35 and 50 apo are every bit as sharp and in some cases actually sharper than the Leica APO…

@@BernardGattI’ve used a 10$ plastic wide angle Diana Lomo lens on my M10-D and Nikon Z8 with fantastic artistic results. It fits very well in the collection of rare and ultra rare Leica modern and esoteric vintage lenses. They all get rotated as do the wonderful Voigts

Love the SL2-S, I also use it to scan negatives 😄

Yeah, AF on an M is unnatural, that should stay as is, but a hybrid RF/EVF would definitely be a nice addition.

I had a Q2, fantastic camera but really hated the focal length. I’m always shooting 35 or 50 so 28 is too wide for me. I still shoot on the M system btw, I almost exclusively shoot on the M6/MP, it’s just that when I need a digital camera, I need a proper digital camera.

It’s been popping up very frequently recently, it’s certainly a beautiful camera and the UI, fantastic ❤️

The Hasselblad is beautiful. I went with GFX. I loved my M11 but old age caught with my ability to accurately focus with a rangefinder.

It’s one of the standard Q3 accessories, the round hood, see: leica-camera.com/en-AT/photography/accessories/lens-hoods/lens-hood-q-black

Thank you! It’s not my usual setup so I had to improvise, turned out well!

Glad you found it useful! Yeah, development times are the only reason I don’t do this more often. I haven’t tried using higher temperatures but wouldn’t mind experimenting to find the sweet spot.
