- Have I sold all of my Leica gear? This is a question that I get asked a lot at the moment! And in today video we address this question!
I decided it was about time I came to a decision and shared them thoughts with you! So on a recent trip to Florence all I took with my was the Leica M10 + 35mm Summilux and my iPhone 15 Pro.

Hi Goughie. Definitely enjoyed this one. I am a lover of Fuij but have now also picked up one of the new Nikon Zf cameras. I probably won't ever buy a Leica, never really been drawn to them but still liked watching you with yours. What was even better though was seeing Florence. I had a great time there about 2 years ago and I have been sitting here going "I was there", "I know where he is", "I remember climbing up there", "I took a couple of shots from that spot" and so on. Very, very enjoyable video. Let's have more like it.
I want to start to try and make this channel a little more gear agnostic! So there will definitely be more travel and general photography videos coming!
And Florence was so good! Really enjoyed it! I think we benefited from going slightly out of season!
I love to hear those good decisions. It's great to hear you talking about these Leica cameras. Thank you for keeping Leica and making the content!
Let’s see if this M11 turns out to be a good one!
@@Goughie It will solve your lighting problems because of the new metering option. It's a great camera!
@@DirkMenker highlight weighted worked like a dream yesterday
Good decision on the M11. It is awesome. I too use my iPhone 12 Pro Max and Fuji xpro2 and I sold my XT3. Funnily enough I’m now only using the M11 with 35 m and my iPhone! 😂 enjoy the 111.
I've been on the fence for so long for a Leica, but ultimately, the Fuji's are so good. I went to Venice with a GFX50R and GF 50, quite similar output I guess to your M10+35. Now I've got the GFX100s and with the GF50 it's a great camera combo for walking about on holiday. As soon as they bring out the X-Pro4 I'm getting one.
Love to see a video on your iPhone video workflow aren’t the files massive do you move them off the phone while on the trip?
Sticking with the X-T5, your film sim and Lightroom presets.
The files are silly big! But from making videos I have a couple 1TB SSD drives
So at the end of the day I’m moving the files off the phone onto the SSD, and because it’s lots of short clips in total they aren’t thaaat long
I know you can record straight to the SSD but that ruins some of the convenience of just having a phone for me
Awesome video per usual. The iPhone footage looked great. It’s crazy that a pocketable phone can be an ‘A camera’ for behind the scenes content.
Crazy isn’t it!
Great video as usual. To be honest, I was enjoying the absence of Leica as too many TH-cam channels have gradually become 'Leica appreciation societies', which is probably why you are finding getting hold of kit from Leica so difficult. They have so many TH-cam channels grovelling at their feet for gear. Please, please, please, keep a balance as not everyone wants to re-mortgage their homes to keep the Leica shareholders happy.
Interesting take for sure! I’m not sure Fuji is really in a different place right now 😂
I also don’t see that much digital leica content on here! See a loooooot of film stuff!
I want to try and make the channel a little less geared oriented over the next year! More focus on photography than gear
@@Goughie indeed!
Ooof, sold a really good M10 for a M11. Feels like that's a bad trade up, the additional cash and everything for a 60MP camera. The additional cash doesn't feel worth it just for an upgrade over the M10 series. But still happy for yeh, enjoy the new M11.
I just picked up a FUJI XH 2. What a fabulous camera in every way! It far surpasses my expectations!
Should hopefully be sharing my thoughts on the XH2 in the next couple weeks! Had it for a couple weeks
You’re going to love the M11: much longer battery life, great photo quality and selection of metering options, and surprisingly easy to use 60MP sensor (that is, the body’s stability is so good that there is no real issue regarding achieving sharp exposures). It will be interesting to see which lenses, aside from your 50mm, you settle on. Apple’s BTS video about professionally filming the latest Apple event entirely with the iPhone 15 Pro serves as a good reminder of just how good the video capabilities are.
I did use the m11 for a day in London last year so I have a bit of an idea on what to expect! I do actually have the M11 in my hands now! I’m sure a video will be dropping shortly!
Oh, that’s right. I did see that video. Great to hear you’ve got the new camera now, and I look forward to seeing your video(s) about it.
Nice to have your feedback as a user. The M system is really tempting, I’m gonna rent a kit to experience it myself.
The video footage from the iPhone 15 Pro is really good. The only bummer is for pan and tilt, at 7:20 we can see the unfortunately famous jerky movements :-(
By the way stunning pictures 🙌🏻
Worth trying first! They aren’t for everyone! And clearly aren’t a value proposition at all! You have to enjoy the feel and process of them! And you don’t really know until you’ve tried them!
Yes I noticed that when editing too! A little annoying for sure, worth the trade off of a full sized camera! I think I just need to learn the limitations of the phone!
Thank you!
@@Goughie Sure. It’s a common problem with iPhone and I noticed it’s not happening when recording directly from Instagram. I do that for quick social videos with a lot of movements for work. I’ll try with the new Blackmagic app.
Good choice, man. And: Nice and informative video. I am curious to see how you like the M11
I now have one in my hands! So can’t imagine an initial impressions video is far off!
I was also one of those wondering where your Leica content went, but happy for you, that you find more time to shoot your Leica again thanks to the iPhone 15 pro 😊. Curious about your M11 videos upcoming.
I can’t remember correctly, do you also own a M6 for film photography?
Yes! So my complete kit right now for Leica is M11, M6, 35mm Lux and 50mm Lux! Had a couple offers for the 35mm might accept one so I can hurry up and get a 28mm again!
@@Goughie thanks for the reply man! 😊
I was lucky to get my hands on a Leica Q3, next to M9 and M6. And recently I wanted something with better AF again and got the Nikon Zf😇
@@IntrovertAmateur that ZF looks to be a great choice! Good to see Nikon with an attempt at modern retro design! I do worry that Fuji is getting caught sleeping
@@Goughie that’s what I’m thinking, since Nikon is serving a demand gap: modern retro fullframe. Now I’m just waiting for Canon to do something similar 😄
@@IntrovertAmateur I think the big gap for Nikon and canon will be small lenses with aperture rings etc!
An unexpected alternative might be Sony 😂 they have a lovely set of small primes with aperture rings! I’ll go wash my mouth out now 😂😂
Very interesting thoughts on the iphone for video. Now maybe camera companies can return to making cameras again Woohoo
It’s not been thaaaaat bad! I think it’s more to do with how little progress there is to be made with photography atm! Video was lagging behind
But I think we’ve basically reached that point now that all cameras are only marginally better than the ones before, will be interesting to see what the next big thing will be with photography
Good choice I think.
If you want to be happy with Leica, just buy the M262. For me is the best modern Leica ever made.
Hot take! Based on?
@@GoughieI agree with him. No live view, light, battery lasts forever better colors then m10/m11.
@@Leicam10better colour is subjective no ?
What monitor do you use for photo editing? I see one on your desk there!
I changed it this year to the Apple Studio display! There’s definitely cheaper displays that are as good and better!
But in the end I chose it for ease of use, I benefit from some subtle bits like speakers too, and I got it used at a great price that means I likely won’t lose too much money on it
Fair enough but I’am keeping and using my X100V, and of course your preset…..haha.
I still have my XPro2 and XH2S! 👌🏻 I’m not sure I really own the X100V these days… my girlfriends stolen it!
😂@@Goughie
7:58 I had to cringe a bit at that. "Over-exposure problem"?! Mate, you need to learn how to use the meter in your M10. It's not a spot meter, it's center weighted metering - same as on the analog M bodies like the M6 or MP.
If you can't get past the learning curve of the center weighted metering on the M10, the M11 is the better choice for you.
The amount of people who also adopt the advice of under exposing 1/3 to 1 stop…
But no! It’s a skill issue… 😂 that’s the one! 7 years of shooting an M! Maybe one day I’ll get there 😂
@@Goughie I've been shooting an analog MP for years, then picked up an M10. I've very rarely had issues with blown highlights or exposures being off. It is a learning curve issue, not a camera issue. If you think you're forced to use the camera in live-view most of the time, CLEARLY you don't use it the way it was intended to be used.
But Leica has a solution for you: M11.
That's one of problems I have with Leica (other than being prohibitively expensive) - frame lines for 35mm, yes, for 28mm (which I don't have and don't wanna use), but none for the 24, 21, 20 or 18mm without external viewfinder ??? Automatic dealbreaker...
Thankfully for me I don’t shoot any wider than 28mm! But if wides what you like then agreed an M is a hard sale!
I am in the same boat, but replace fuji with sony. I love the m system(and q) and have sold half my sony stuff. I had to keep some sony things due to video needs and the odd commercial job here or there. Like you, it means I have to lug around two cameras when I just want to shoot the M, or I even have FOMO selling more sony stuff. I actually thought the iphone 15 would solve this(in terms of personal video work and bts clips for the tube) and I think thats what Ill do eventually. That footage looks great and I think I could use the phone for almost all personal video work in the field and pull out the sony at home for talking heads stuff and any future commercial work. Im glad Im not the only guy struggling with this, almost thought I was going crazy.
I think a lot of us making video content this new iPhones been a game changer! It’s the best thing I’ve bought this year… well… other than maybe next weeks video 😉
If I sold my M10 to upgrade it would only be for an M with a built in EVF
Fingers crossed! Would be great to see how they’d implement it! Have just picked up an m11 that’s come with the new Visoflex feels a lot better than the older one
that light 3:47
I was incredible! It only last like 5-10mins! Before the sun dipped behind some clouds waaay earlier than expected! Sunset was still an hour off
Crappy photos are not to be blamed on photographic equipment. In America they say - it's not the fiddle, it's the fiddler.
I quite like my crappy photos… 😂
@@Goughie Me too 🤣
Hahaha. Why people are so obsessed with gear. But I understand. It’s TH-cam. Leica M’s are a drug for me. It’s my only camera. It’ll always be. For me the Summicrons. So small are awesome. I’m down to single shot mode. It’s great. Get a Voigtlander 28 Ultron II. Not a lot of money.
Lightroom has certainly killed a lot of Fuji relationships.
I should probably learn capture one! But it’s not something I can be bothered with! Lightroom provides all I need / want
@@Goughieconvert the stackable presets to capture one for us and I'll be first in line to buy it 🙂
@@BrandonDavis985 thank you! I’ll have to try at some point!
If Leica releases an M Camera with built in EVF that would bring so many new people to the ecosystem and preventing many from departing from it. For low light photography the EVF is crucial and the few times I used the Visoflex2 I really hated it. Viewfinder style like the Q3 for an M body would be awesome.
Would love to see it added! I got the Visoflex 2 with the M11 and it’s definitely better than the old one! But I hear you! Integrated would be far better! 👌🏻
Then pray to the Leica gods that they also sell you a functioning M11. :D When I saw that the 15 Pro can also record logs, I was positively surprised and thought I would buy it too. Then I started hearing all the news about so many things not working on the iPhone, which completely put me off. So, I'll stick with the iPhone 11 for another year. :D But the video quality is really great. The clips from Florence turned out really good.
I’ve not had any issues at all with the iPhone 15 Pro! So hopefully I haven’t used up all my luck there! 🤞
People will say that about anything. For the most part, no one has any issues with new things. The small percent tend to ruin it for the rest.

@@Passingmomentsvideo hmmm I agree generally! But this M11 is a little different. They’ve been a nightmare!
I know multiple people with M11 that have had issues with their own cameras! It’s a lottery for sure! Thebignegative documents it well on his channel!
I was talking to someone today who’s camera has been fine for over a year, and the recent firmwares just bricked his camera too, so they haven’t fully ironed out the issues yet either
It was obvious you were going to upgrade your Leica like most on TH-cam have already done
Ahhh I’m too predictable!
M10 gone, Hasselblad X1D gone, Fuji GFX 50Rii gone (all with lenses). X-T5 + lenses (retained in reserve). My new everyday venture, iPhone 15 pro max + 58mm & 18mm lenses. No more sd cards, instant uploads, night shots, portraits, Pano's, stills, videos, tripods, light stands & LED's, 1/4 of the size & weight. Computational + AI seems to me to be the way to go.
Oh wow! That’s interesting for sure!
You’re to frivolous.
Could be a lot worse! Taking photos for my own enjoyment and getting paid for it! It’s hard not to be!
You should just abandon fuji and leica altogether and go with the Nikon Zf. I mean, that's what the new trend is. I on the other hand will not make such hastily move.
It’s great to see Nikon giving it a go! Can’t see me moving from Fuji as my main system for a while tbh, more than happy atm
@@Goughie Well, to be completely fair, Nikon has been "giving it a go" since about 1948. They may have borrowed a page out of Fujifilm's recent retro playbook, but the Zf actually draws directly from Nikon's past catalogue of iconic 35mm SLR cameras (FM/FE). The image quality, performance and technology with the Zf is exceptional, too.
@@RobertFalconer1967 I was talking about the retro inspired cameras, and hopefully lenses that match
Aware that Nikon make great gear! 👌🏻used an handful of them film SLRs you mention
@@Goughie That's true, it's only Nikon's third retro model (second in the mirrorless space). But judging from the reception the Zf is getting, it's going to be hugely popular. I hope they expand the lineup into a second full frame model with even higher specs than the Zf. And I'd love two or three new lenses that match the vintage Nikkor aesthetic; the S-Series Z lenses are optically spectacular.
