Sir McCurry I highly prefer your film photos more than digital photos. Film photos are so magical and natural and unique. I never got that nice feeling with digital photos.
You can do all of that for a fraction of the cost of Leica. Not trying to be salty here, but Leica is ridiculously outdated, and extremely pricey. It has become more of a status symbol for people who can afford it. Even Steve McCurry did not shoot with Leica when he was trying to make a living. So, please do not portray it any differently now.
Two reasons for not using Leica early in his career. One the Leica’s rangefinder’s were restrictive to eyeglasses wearers. Two because of his hands physical limitations it was easier to use a different camera. As far as today’s cameras there are better speced cameras but it’s hard to beat Leica glass for image rendition. Plus if a brand also sponsors a persons work then that’s another reason to use it.
La leica SL3 è stata rilasciata nel 2024. Nell'introduzione in alto si dice che Steve ha visitato Myanmar nel 2023. Ora, da laicista mi dico, due sono le possibilità: o si tratta di errore di scrittura, come mi auguro o si tratta di un video in cui è mostrata un SL2, fatta passare per un SL3, cosa che al contrario non mi auguro.
Exactly who said it? So if I wanna make money from my photos, I’m supposed to explore rich 1st world countries only? If I’m in a poor country I should take photos for free?
Sir, with all my respect, I wish you more productive years ahead and your health.
Many thanks for all the beautiful and moving images.
Love these videos!
I ❤ only the almighty Allah.
I like LEICA
that one man who inspired me to dive into photography. once a legend always legend.
Wonderful, thanks for that!
Greetings from Frankfurt am Main - Andreas

Nicely done Leica! He is such a legend!

We love you Steve.

What's the story with the handle on the bottom of the camera?
I remember he said it was for stability and he got used to pressing the shutter with his left hand
Steve was injured by a grenade once, so this attachment helps I guess
No, it wasn't a grenade 🤣, he has limited use of his right hand due to an injury sustained in his childhood.
Leica is been always in my list of all time. One day I will own you ❤

Leica color is the best.
People may be surprise, big cities in Myanmar are safer than US.

This is just show. Steve Mc Curry is known shooting with Nikon and not Leica.

Guy told the same story an iteration before this one. Love the work, not the talk....

You can also drive a Toyota and it will get you from a to b, exactly like a Ferrari
@@john-nilsen driving a Ferrari is an experience not easily duplicated by other cars. Definitely not by a Toyota.

Maybe it’s a preproduction unit from late 2023 but it’s clearly an SL-3. You can see the extra dial on the left side at 0:57
Plus it has the new power button, which is enraging all the Sony trolls, at 2:32.
@@SolarChronicle Exaclty. It is.
Long lens
This man has a pistol grip mounted to the camera.
His magic is long gone since he no longer shoot on Kodachrome 64 on films for National Geographic. Now it's just an old man's hobby.
Nonsense.
Some people don't like this photographer.
He explores the people of poor countries to take pictures of them and make money. People say it.
I've done that, too.
It's an interesting adventure.

Why?!
Those people need to get their a.. of the couch and they need to try to explore some of those places )))

every second Leica user on reddit, goes to India or Pakistan. Is this new kind of douchery ?
I just wasted 5 mins watching this. Not even in my dreams am I traveling the world with a Leica.
great cameras but mostly just badge envy
