วีดีโอ

Happy to hear you were able to take a step back and refocus. Prioritizing, distractions, there's only so many hours in a day. It can get the best of any of us. I'm looking forward to whatever content you put out and future photo walks.

If you comitt, you do it daily. A week off, understandble. Thats why youtube is not a career.

The internet has been really quiet about this lens! I was able to find a really good deal on the used market, can’t wait for it to arrive! Your portraits are amazing!

Thanks for sharing. Burnout is so real and it’s helpful when we are all honest about it. Always love watching whatever you do next!! Happy New Year (& early bday) 🎉🎉

I felt this. Thank you for being transparent bro

Great video

Burnout is real, gotta take care of yourself bro. Happy New Year!

Thank you for your vulnerability and for continuing to share your journey. As creatives, we often set these lofty goals and that’s great. They challenge us, push us, and leave us with tools and experiences that no one can take away. But what you’ve pointed out is so important: productivity isn’t always about relentless hustle. Sometimes, it’s about knowing when to pause, to rest, to step back. Cheers to you for recognizing that and giving yourself the space to do it.

Your photo walks were a huge part of helping me rediscover my love and joy for photography after burnout shelved me for almost five years. Thank you for all the work you put into community building. Excited for the winter events you’re planning. I’ll be there 🙌

Super Dope! #StaySolid 💯

Thank you for being honest. It reminds me that we are all human and not machines. Have a wonderful 2025

Silencing my notifications has been a life saver and I recently learned how to have a select people’s notifications not be silenced for emergencies! good luck with finding your balance! 🙏

Inspiring, informative and educational, as always! It actually has made me feel better about output, and simultaneously pushed me to plan out aspirations for content creation for 2025.

Catching yourself from burning out is not only necessary but incredibly healthy. Thank you for sharing and letting us know that it’s okay to slow down and create balance in our lives. 🙏🏻 ✅Adding time blocking too

I haven’t touched my camera since the beginning of October. It really hurts me that it’s the case but I lost all inspiration and drive to shoot. I’m a husband and father of 2. I lost my full time job and have had to step into a new career as well as carrying many other part time/side jobs not including photography. Burning out is unfortunate. I’m trying to streamline just like you mentioned but it’s tough. I hear you and appreciate the info you added to this video, take care of yourself!

I just saw part 1 of your video. Great job!

I've been looking for a small 50 to pair with my 28 Ultron v2. I have a Voigtlander 50/1.1, but it's massive and heavy and just really doesn't give me the light, fast shooting experience I love with my M10. Your video convinced me to give this lens a shot. It'll be here in a few days. Stunning portraits, man! Thanks for the insight and the casual real-world look at what this lens offers.

Really beautiful photos Bryan. This video was really helpful - I'm at the "researching Leica lenses even though I don't actually have a Leica" stage.

I’ve also been playing with the idea of getting a 50mm v4. I like what voigtlander is doing lately. I have the new 28 skopar and I love that lens. One thing I heard on the 50 2.2 was the focus tab sits close to the camera body. I use a half case and I wonder how much room I’d have to move the tab with the case on. Hard to know for sure without getting my hands on one. Maybe I’ll just pony up for the v4. Great shots btw!

Wow, this is really awesome. The black and white has a magic that is really unique.

Awesome how can I mount it on non metallic surface like a wall

so where is it?

is that jay z in the back?

I hope this message finds you well. It’s been a while since we last connected, so I wanted to check in and ask how the progress on the review video is coming along.

I dont understand why voightländer makes every lens to focus till 0,5m when most rangefinders focus til 0,7.

For a meaningful, timeless image, I miss the man's face, his expression, his emotions during the pandemic, so it's descriptive but not captivating

Wow, stunning creativ pictures, I like them a lot! The model is great too! The lens is ... a lens, yes, but it does'nt matter for me.

Halo great video lots of information 👍👍👍just one question nobody talks about is where do you sale your photos is it stock photography where to whom? Be specific please we need lots more info thanks

Your transparency is absolutely so helpful and encouraging. I’m currently a recently unemployed but highly motivated photographer with pretty decent skills for my low budget and self taught nature. I do however struggle HEAVY with networking and I’m super introverted. Hoping to bite the bullet, discover my niches, work on finishing my website with the best of my photos from the past year, and finally get some paying clients that aren’t just friends and relatives! (Commenting this to thank you for your work, but mostly to hold myself accountable to my words) Your shoots and freelance work the past year is incredible btw

Great captures! Love the way you guys played with the construction area. Well done brother!

Absolutely incredible photography. The model was great, striking looking and clearly great fun. As for the lens… looks perfect to me.

Nice video! What kind of soft release button do you use on your M6? Thanks 🙏🏻

Great review! Love to see how it renders with color films in your future videos. I am actually looking for a 50mm for my M11-P. Highly curious how this lens performs at 60MP.

Why not the 50mm planar? Relatively small, sharp, f2.0 and great image quality.

I've really enjoyed my copy. Ill be selling off my 50 cron v5, now that I have this.

Great video man and totally agree with you. I have this lens in silver and works like a charm on my M 240 and M3, specially since both cameras are also in silver :). I pair it with the 28mm 2.8 Color Skopar, also in silver and that combo is so awesome specifically the size and weight. Keep up your great work!

Finally someone talking about this lens! I have this lens adapted to my Nikon ZF and it's my perfect more compact setup. I love that the lens doesn't really give you that clinical modern look, but more of a character, which is great when shooting digital

I was surprised at how quiet the internet has been about this incredible M mount lens release. It's a fantastic lens and the video covering it is top-notch. Great job!

you gassing me up man 😂 I have a Leica 50mm f2 elmar M, very good lens, but kind of hate having to collapse it, might look at this onen❤

🔥🔥🔥 Lets goo!! The lens looks fun! my fav pic is the one from the construction, I like its depth of the 50mm and the bw

Great video! Love 4:02 🤣 I shoot 28, 40, 85 in general on the streets. I use the 40 as my slightly wider 50. 📸👍🏾

Cool stuff 😊 nice video!

The results are 🔥 🔥

Can’t wait to make it to Toronto for one of your events

Coming back to this!! Sometimes it's good to meet your heroines!!

Super cool video man ! Keep on shooting on ✌️

Thanks for hosting the walks. Great video.
