Thank you for your thoughts and time. My Q2M arrives in two days. Tuesday to b precise. I’ve been eyeballing a monochrom for such a long time. Seen tons of videos. Finally bought one. And because I am shooting my Q2 often on BW HC I think I can justify buying one. So now I’m good to go in color AND black and white.
i had a lot of fun making the video too! and i had the same experience as you, started off with the BW hc color profile and went for the Q2M! have fun with the Q2M!! hope you enjoy shooting with it! 😄
@@YasmineYen I’m in my 5th day of having the Q2M now and I must say, it takes stunning photos. I did attach an orange filter to it btw. Works like a charm.
@@YasmineYen I think you should definitely dive into the wonders of color filters. They enhance your shots each in their own way. It goes to far to describe all the effects these filters have, depending on the color you use, but in general I can say they’re a must have. Yellow is the most subtle one, orange is a little stronger and red is even more strong. I’m referring now to darken the blue sky. Color filters let pass the licht of the filter color more and block the light of the complementary color (that’s the color on the other side of the color wheel). Just find some decent videos here on YT explaining it far better than I do. I don’t regret the buy of them. But….. buy a good brand. B+W filters are very good. Cheap filters come with IQ issues. You don’t want to put a cheap filter in front of your Summilux lens. They range from around $50 to $60 depending on the color (and 49mm size) + sale tax if applicable. Just buy one to start with. Orange is imho the better choice.
Before I brought the Q2, I use mirrorless camera for work. Due to the weight of lens and body, I just don’t want to bring the camera outside my work. I have been a Q2 user for just one year. I must say that this machine really changes my minds to record almost everything personal in my life. It’s rare to see someone using the Monochrom version to shoot video. And it turns out great. TBH, It’s still new for me to use B&W. Thank to the algorithm, it’s been a pleasure to watch this. I feel Peace. And, happy lunar new year🎉!
thank you so much! and yeah i actually do love shooting video on the Q2 and i agree on not really wanting to bring the mirrorless out on a daily basis cause its kinda heavy! i also think that having a fixed lens helps with daily usage too cuz don’t have to think too much into focal lengths etc knowing that i’m super indecisive😆 anyways i really appreciate your words! have a good day! ☺️
@@YasmineYen Yeah, that’s what I am talking about. I don’t need to worry about the parameters any more. It’s fixed. You just get what the lens has. Besides I can crop whenever I need due to the higher pixel density. 🙏thanks again for the effort to editing the video and share with us. And you have a great day!
Photography is often very therapeutic and a great way to bring happiness and you've chosen a wonderful camera to help you along...Thanks for the lovely video and All the Best to You,,,
The Q2 is my absolute fav camera. I own a Reporter and a Monochrome and for personal work these are great. Even did some fashion shoots with one of them. I was moved by your personal message, Yasmine. I hope that photography can make you feel better. There’s so much beauty to capture.
Hey, lovely video! I really understand the whole connection with the camera and how it can get you through things artistically through photography cause I do that too with my Q, and I do it ALOT haha, glad to hear someone else bringing it up, keep up the incredible work, love to see more videos from you! :) Also, hope you’re feeling better 😇
Hi, Excellent intro, amazing videography and cinematography, good shots 👍. Wish you all the best and much fun and joy in your photography journey. The Leica Q2 monochrome is a fantastic camera.
I love my M10 Monochrom, having shot the original M Monochrom for many years. I still prefer some flexibility that I can change the lens, but the Q2 is a great platform, no doubt. Enjoy shooting!
Please don't make me buy one. Please. I had the Q and hated it but the Q2 fixed what I didn't like. The Reporter Monochrom is the one I really want though. Enjoy that camera and all the best.
Congrats on grabbing another Q2! I recently gotten another Leica MP. Have the Leica M10 now, tried the Leica M3, bought another Leica MP. Film BnW has so much feels ot it.
thanks! i really enjoy this one! and and omg your collection of Leicas are amazing i really need to check out the M series! which one would you say is your favorite?
Enjoy the Q2M Reporter 🙂 I have the Q2 Reporter and I love the finish on it - much more durable that the standard Q2 IMHO. Love the B&W images - and can I ask what Strap you have used with the Q2M Reporter? It looks pretty cool 👍
i agree on the reporter being more durable and loveee the texture that comes with it !! and i’m using the leica paracord strap in olive/black by Cooph! to match the reporter :))
Hiii Carsten! 👋🏻 it’s so cool and nice to meet someone that’s so close to where my favorite cameras are made! do they offer factory tours or like a public museum that you can visit? i’m so keen on visiting one day! 😄
@@YasmineYen hi Yasmene. It is a big Leica park, produktion, hotel, several firms - even watches, cafe… .. if you visit the museum, there Are windows for watching the produktion, many vernisages a year, several exibithion from different photographers, old stuff and new stuff selling ….. greets, Carsten from the old Villa Petersberg
please don't shoot videos on a reg basis, those are sooo pretty and sooo pleasant to watch, it should not be like granted, but it should be a long time waited, once you see it that new one released - you enjoy it like a good wine

@@YasmineYen I’ll say I have a lot more joy with my MP film camera than a digital camera.
now i really wanna try out their film cameras 👀😆
I recently just bought this camera and man shooting in black and white on a high resolution monochrome sensor is just beautiful
I AGREEE it’s absolutely stunning👌🏻😩 have fun with it!!!🫡🙌🏼
We got the exact same model, Q2 Ghost and Q2M Reporter. 😀
*high five*
Your photos are great & monochrome is a fantastic choice. :)
thank you!!! and it’s such a lovely camera to use! ☺️
Love B&Ws Hope I can see more pics from Q2

Great video & photos! Video made with Gopro?
thanks!! and how’d you know 😆
Had the opportunity to trade my Ghost in for one of these and I didn’t pull the trigger. Sometimes I regret that decision
it's certainly a really tempting decision!! 😆
Try using the orange filter 🤩
i’ve never actually heard of it but i’ll definitely look into it !! 👍🏻
@@YasmineYen there’s yellow green orange and red each give a different effect with the monochrome sensor orange is my favorite 😁
@@salduaij sweet! i'll try it out soon !! 👀👀
What strap is that please?
hi there! i'm using the leica paracord strap in olive/black by cooph!🙌🏻📸
Wow that intro you good 👍
