Yes it is the Melbourne shot tower!

But also the SA art gallery!

@@Marco-ik1xz Yes one of my favourite places!

Hi, yep I love black and white too.😎✌️

@@jdstrobist Awesome! It really is something special.

Thank you very much!

That's so great! May you enjoy the process. Do you know what camera you will get? I will be happy to provide some beginner tips and perhaps can do a video about that.

@@clarejean3309 Wow! That's so great. You will be able to do many things with that camera. Looks good too :)

Thanks so much! Great choice with the TTL. It has the bigger shutter speed dial that turns the more logical way.

Hi! I sometimes use a 35mm viewfinder - the one designed for the Leica X1/X2. But I mostly just use the whole window in the Leica M3 as an estimate of about a 40mm view and know that I will get a bit extra in the frame than what I see through there. If not needing to be super precise, it works fine that way. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you! Yes the colors are amazing. I love that Fuji look.

Yes I agree and would definitely err on the side of over-exposing. It certainly is the best roll of colour film I've shot...I just love the colours. I just wish Fuji kept producing film.

Thank you! I use sunny 16 most of the time. I usually lean toward overexposing and find if I estimate 1 stop over the correct exposure on colour film it tends to come out quite well. It of course depends what look you are going for, but in general I'd say aiming for 1 stop over will provide greater detail in the negative without blowing the highlights to any great degree. On a sunny day I tend to set the aperture to f8 so I can zone focus and on a 35mm lens or 28mm lens know I'm getting basically from a meter or so to 10 meters in focus and that way the metering and focus is locked in and ready for when something comes in the scene. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!

haha yeah some Leica camera humour :)

@ 😉😂

@@rogerbrooksfilms I see you have an X-Pro 3...beautiful camera!

@@shanecaut1063 yes, I love it, such a beautiful experience shooting with that camera.

@@rogerbrooksfilms That's awesome. I was fortunate to pick one for a great deal and having been using it with manual focus lenses. I love the colours from it.

Thank you! It's a beautiful place!

Nah mate, used to be.

I certainly enjoyed it!

Thank you very much!

Will certainly try to :) Thanks for the subscribe!

Very informative.❤

@@kate5113 Thank you Kate!

@ you're welcome Shane.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!

Thank so much! Yes really nice rendering. I like the colours a lot. The black ones are harder to find, but they do pop up every now and again. I wish one day to try the 21mm Ricoh out. It seems to have very similar rendering.

@@shanecaut1063 i think on digital the vignetting is more noticeable but it doesn’t bother me … the 21 not sure how well it plays with digital

@@simonkimber1152 I do agree. I'd say the vignette would be more pronounced on digital. On film, I've never really noticed it as a problem, but I like that look on a wider lens anyway. What digital are you shooting usually?

@@shanecaut1063 just got the new m11-d 🤣🤣

@@simonkimber1152 Wow great choice! The d versions always appeal to me. The simplicity of it! Let me know how you go with it.

I hope one day you can get them!

Begging ain’t gonna give it to you. He worked for it you work for one

@@chestdaybestday2572 That is true for sure. Also hunting for good deals helps a bit but takes patience.

Nothing wrong with the soviet lenses :) Yes the Ricoh is not super cheap but thankfully hasn't risen a lot in price in recent years which is a plus. Thanks for watching!

How much are you asking for it?

Absolutely! These days more creators are looking for character lenses in place of edge to edge performance and the canon lenses from the 1950s have that mix of character with sharpness like you say. Thanks for viewing!

Thanks so much! The summaron is a great little lens and with a IIIc would make a very compact set up too. Do you use the rangefinder on the IIIc much for focussing or generally zone focus? I have a Leica III from 1934 which I will show as well. They are amazing little cameras.

@@shanecaut1063 I still use the rangefinder with that setup, but mostly out of habit. Trying to remind myself that I can pretty much just leave it at one focus setting and just shoot; typically using ISO 400 film, so on a sunny day outdoors it's never below f8 anyway.

@@thew0nster Yes sunny days and higher speed film certainly make it easier to nail focus. I'm guessing your summaron is the earlier version, being screw mount. I think that is the one to get, being more compact that the M versions. Keep enjoying it!

As they are both repaints, they probably sit around the $2,000 USD mark I would estimate. The problem these days is the wait-time on repaints from some of the more established places, like Kanto camera in Japan. I was fortunate to get the M2 repainted from Camerworks UK before their demand also increased. If not wanting to wait year or so for the repaint, I'd look for one already painted but check the quality of the re-paint and ensure was done to a good standard down the brass. Thanks for the question.
