Jep, works just fine. I wouldn’t rely on face detection when there is more than one person in the frame, but with the autofocus field set to center or a larger field, it works great :)

That‘s correct :) thank you for addressing it. I just noticed that some of my devices don‘t charge when I use the high power charger. Of course it‘s not going full 100w. I‘m just happy that it works 😁

Exaaaactly!! It makes you want to take photos. The Leica is a bigger difference for the Photographer than for the audience/client. But it makes you get different results because of the unique approach to use the camera. 📷 And it‘s just really fun! Therefore we use the camera more, get even more experience and hone the craft we love so much :)) Congrats on your M11! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✨

Hey Sophie! Thank you for the note! Good thinking. I‘ll update that :))

Giving the D-Lux to a guest is a great move! I imagine that really unique photos come from that. :) And the Q3 42 and APO 90mm sound really fun! Two APO Lenses...crazy quality!! Love it

Thank you! :) That happend while I was just walking and I liked the top down angle :)

I'm super happy with the products too! I have a few other bags as well. Funny, I just received a mail to register the new bag. I have an account on the PD Website and the replacement showed up as an usual order. So I assume that it comes with the warranty as well. But I believe that I'll never need to use it. The 3L and 6L Bag didn't show any wear after quite some time. :)

I like it as well! Looks super good. I recently had a bigger production and I set up the Q3 for one angle. It held up quite well. After 35-40min recording, it used around 30-40% Battery as far as I remember. What I then did is to attach a powerbank to the tripod and start charging the camera. That way I didn't come close to an empty battery.

I'm curious, what exactly is ridiculous to you?

@@dasignarts Blows my mind because it rose so many questions. I'll tell you about the mind abysses your video sent me to. What's the point of flipping an expensive camera with an expensive lens and then feel the need to display it on TH-cam? Is it supposed to look cool, because that's what photographers do (no, they don't)? Imply that you are a good photographer because you flip that camera with ease? That you are rich, so you can afford to break it? How is it relevant on photography channel supposed to, I guess, promote yourself as a photographer, not a camera flipping artist? I am curious too...

Hey Jonas, these are some really good questions you raise here. I got curious myself to think about my motive here. I guess the first thing is, that I flip all kinds of things. It comes from my skateboarding era (that I loved so much) where I translated doing a Kickflip onto other everyday products like and old Nokia 3410, since it couldn't really break. And that habit continued and I used more challenging things like knifes, plates and...my Cameras. And surely there is some part in here that I do it because it's rare to see something like this, since it is risky and I kinda want so show off xD Gotta admit that :D Even though it's not serving the photography side. But it's fun nevertheless. And that's the main thing. It's fun to me. So it will probably happen again^^ That's my answer for now. Thank you for taking the time to speak your mind! :)

Actually I can. :) I use the Peak Design 3L Sling Bag and the zipper is so smooth that it really nicely opens fully with the right hand and then I can gram the camera, turn it on and start snapping. All with my right hand. It's probably harder with other bags. Have a good one! :)

@ OK, I thought you said from a pocket not bag. That got me confused. Q is not pocketable unless you have enormous pockets. Also you need to leave the lens cap off otherwise it’s not a single hand operation. Have a good one too!

@@xyphoto oh true, I said pocket. Got my wording wrong here. But I ment my 3L Sling. And I never have a Lens Cap on it. Otherwise, you're right. :)

Thank you! :)) I think the Q3 performes quite niceley here. I wouldn't rely on the eye-autofocus when there are many people in the frame. The focus behaves quite random and not reliable there. When there is only 1-2 People the Eye Autofocus is great! For the other occasions I suggest using another focus type like center or area. Or just focus manually. I learned that with my M10. You really get the hang of it and then you're actually really fast with focusing. Or even using the rangefinder works great. If I'd decide to use my Q3 as a main camera I'd feel safe doing so. I just don't have another battery or SD-Card to cover a full day. That's why I use it occasionally in between. The 128gb V90 card was like 200€ xD And the 128gb SD Card for my Canon costs 25€ :D The Q3 43 is really lovely! Looks like a super fun lens and it complements the Q3 28 niceley. But I'm so content with my camera that I don't need the 43. I initially bought the Q3 as an everyday companion. And the 28mm is better for that. When taking a photo of stuff I have right in front of me, the 28mm and the nice close focus distance are a perfect fit imo. :)

You're right, that might be misleading a little. I guess saying that "the Q3 complements your main setup really well" makes a good point here. And that's what I experience from using it on Weddings this year. It doesn't fully keep up with my R6 but still is really capable. And I'd say even using it as a main Camera will also work. Many use a manual Leica that is even slower in all regards for a full wedding and it works perfectly. But you're right, I didn't clarify that in a final conclusion. :) I'll keep that in mind for future Videos. The Colormatching comes mostly from my Preset. It works in a way that any RAW file will give you pretty much the same outcome. That's how I can easily use any type of RAW file and have a harmonic result. :)

Danke man :))

Thanks :))

I think the difference is really small. If you have the 2 photos with each lens side by side, you will see the difference. But it's fairly small I believe. So going either way will give you nice results. :)

Congrats on your M10!! Really lovely Camera! And thank you for the kind words. :)

Hey :) I don't really have a Lut. I use different kinds of Luts and manual grading myself here. :)

Thank you for the feedback! It's well appreciated. You're right, I could've doch much more here. But I just wanted to unpack my three Items and thought I'd though in a quick recording. :)

Thank you :)

Sounds like a reasonable choice to me. :) I was surprised as well when they offered me a surprising amount for my old 12 Pro! The 6"3 16 Pro is so much better for everyday life :D The Max models are just sooo big xD So congrats to your new Phone :) Have a good one!

Thank you :) I a quite a few photos in low light situations. I'll make a Video on that soon then. :)

Thank you! :)) I used manual focus. I had to close the aperture a lot because I didn't have an ND. The Autofocus would have been pumping a lot. The camera "sees" better with open aperture. With eye detection you can film yourself fairly well. But more complex things are a little to much to handle for the Q3 I guess. :) But It needs further testing from my side.

@@dasignarts yes. I shot a slow mo in 4k 60 in manual and it looked beautiful. All wide open. I think if you go around the limitations you can make really lovely video with this.

Hey Jon, Yeah! The combination is really nice. :) Keep having fun! Have a great weekend!

haha :D Thank you! Have a nice week :))

Thank you!! :)) I love it as well ^_^

Thanks a lot! Have a good week 😁🙏🏻🙏🏻✨

You're welcome! And thank you :)) I have no experience with the Samyang, but even after switching back to Canon, I sometimes miss the 55 1.8 Zeiss. Have a great week!

You're welcooome! :))

Thank you man! Congrats on your Q3!!! How do you like it??

@@dasignarts it’s been amazing so far! Definitely needs the thumb grip though.

@@devlincook5741 Good to hear that. :) Yep, the thumbgrip is good to have. I love having one. At first I go to third-party option, but it didn’t quite fit. Then I got the original. Works great, although overpriced for what it is.^^

@@dasignartshahaha I was the same, looked at all the 3rd party options but when I was in the Leica store getting a battery I tried the OG and it’s just so well made and light! Had to get it 😣

From experience, both works well :))

Thank you buddy! haha Have a great weekend!!

Thank you! <3 I'll remember that next time :)) Have a good one!

Thank you!! :)

Thank you buddy!!! ^_^

Yeah!! I'd looove to try that Camera!

Wow! What a nice summary! Thank you. I also got quite a lot really nice photos with zone focus. If you really develop the craft of manually focussing, it gets sooo fast as well. And I love how you describe the change of the moment with the M10...that it sometimes pulles us further out of the moment than the Q. Reading this sounded like a poem to me just now. :)) Have a great one buddy!

Try the Fuji X100 or Ricoh GR3. I have the GR3 and the 28mm focal length works well..both are hard to get.

I'm happy to hear that it's helpful! :) I'd probably go with the M10 and Q3 if I'd make that choice. The M11 is really nice. However the M10 is still really similar in it's experience. In you case I'd probably go to a Leica Store and just have the Cameras in your hands, click the buttons, take some snaps and see if the M11 is so much nicer for you that you'd skip the M10 and Q3.

@@rycm Also great options :)

@@dasignarts that’s what I am doing right now. I had the q2 a few years ago but it didn’t fit the “dad” photographer thing. I have used the m10 previously and just got an m11 rental delivered yesterday (for 4 days). The m11 is really a stunningly beautiful camera, but I am finding myself using the patch and LV about 50/50 so far. My brain needs some retraining to rely on the RF for focus. The response is much appreciated, and I think your suggestion is spot on.

@@squiddah So cool! Happy to hear that. Great choice to rent the M11. :) The retraining to learn the rangefinder is also such a cool process. I found myself nailing the focus at 1.4 without looking down to the camera. Just pulling focus blindly and it works surprisingly often! Developing the motor ability in your hands is quite satisfying. ^_^ Please let me know your conclusion when it's time.

I have also two small kids and used the Leica M10 with the 35 1.4. Of course lots of moments I will miss. But in summary at the end of the year, when i start a photo book and look at the pictures. There are so wonderful shots of quiet moments, e.g. the kids are in a day dream or playing just by itself. There are no pictures of running kids and action but more intimate moments. With a fast camera i will miss these moments I think, because with the M10 i see different. But the Q2 is still on my list 😂 Grüße vom Bodensee!

@@tombube49 yes totally agree with you! Specially these intimate moments, when I’m able to capture them with my M6 wide open are just beautiful ☺️ But since they growing up so fast and they are energetic kids, I also want to capture these kinds of energy and therefore I use the other camera systems - that’s how I justify my camera collection and my wife only shakes her head, but she appreciates the extra image quality compared to smartphones 😅😃 Grüße zurück aus der Stuttgarter Gegend ✌️

Ja moin! :)) Toootally! In that case AF is really welcomed. The X100VI is lovely for that. And I totally see the close focus issue with the M. The little ones are so quick to come close haha Grüße gehen raus!!

@@tombube49 Totally agree on seeing differently with the M10. The photos just have this little edge in composition, since you're forced to work harder for the photo. Really satisfying nailing the shot. :) Bin gespannt, wie eine Q2 für dich funktioniert. :)) Grüße aus Berlin!

Indeed, the Voigtländer and M10 is a nice combination. :)

Hey friend :) Comparison is the thief of joy. If photography is fun for you, that‘s mostly all you need. I became good because it‘s just fun for me to snap around and learn more and more about the camera and composition and such. If you keep doing it, you‘ll naturally improve :) Just keep having fun with it. Have a good one! 😁
