Funny when new version of a camera comes out, people think they cant take photos with the older version all of sudden. The fact that leica q is a good camera wont change because a newer version came out. On the contrary, it got even better cuz it got cheaper.
Ahhaha indeed! Although I’m curious to see what specs the announced Q3 will have, I don’t really want to go higher then 24mp. I think it’s a sweet spot.
Thank you for your video. I am trying to decide between a Q-P and a Q2 in 2024!
I bought a black Q earlier this year and I love it. Its funny it's like when a new version of a phone comes out, people flock to buy one, as though the older one is now useless :)
Keep em coming. Love from Scotland
Just picked up my Q a few weeks back. At first I loved the simplicity and I still do. What surprised me was the utility lurking just beneath the surface! I set my function button to swap profiles. So I can go from a fully manual and zone focused street machine .. straight over to an auto ISO minimum shutter speed 1/500 touch for focus/trigger setup. One perfect for never missing at F8/F11 with zone focus, and another for rarely missing with family and portraits. Simply not possible with other systems. And the colors SOOC are already just 🤌🤌
Thanks for the great video! You are so right - It is awesome to see a twin lens make an appearance.
Excellent walk through! It looks elegant and simple.
Thank you for your assessment and your insight it was wonderful I learned a lot.
Thanks a bunch! Just picked up a Q yesterday and have been paying around with it. It’s nice to hear your take on setting up the menu and custom buttons.
Enjoy your new Q!
I'm literary looking at that same model. This was very helpful.
It’s been three months still at it every day! Check out my new video three months
I sold my Z nikon with lenses to get the Q2. No regrets 🙏
Am a relatively new (and happy) user of this great camera as well. A long history with Leica, beginning with analogic M7 and the digital M8, then went to M9-P to finally sell everything at a Leica shop.... Rangefinder and getting older unfortunately. Recently came back to Leica with a nice small and compact X2 and now the Q. I don't regret a second this purchase either. Also made a great bargain in second hand. Thanks very much for the video.
Gee yes long relationship indeed. I was lucky enough to buy my Q before Peter McKinnon got his cause a week after his video about buying a Q2, prices went up. I also own the M4 and I have to get used to it cause it’s not as easy to use as a slr 35mm.
I needed to see this. I almost got caught up with the idea I needed the Q3. I keep hearing great things about the Q. Merci!
Yes well the Q is a great option and prices have gone down since the q3. From Q to Q2 is really not a good idea but from Q to Q3 the difference is big enough but for the purpose of the Q series, the Q is perfect. In my opinion. Of course if your coming from mini computers with lenses such as Sony or canon it does take aehile to adapt to the lack of features, all you can do with this is take great photographs
Good info , great video
Really enjoyed your video, thank you. Liked what you had to say about camera technology and marketing,. I am debating getting a used Leica Q, it would really suite my needs. I am a retired pro photographer and have owned some wonderful cameras over the years which I have sold to help pay for the next best camera and then really regretted selling them. I too had a lovely Yashica mat, gone now, Bronica ETRSI, Mamiya RZ, Mamiya Press all gone now bar one Canon F1n 35mm film. I had a collection of Canon EOS 5D`s up to Mk 3 and a collection of L series lenses. So I got rid/sold all my kit when I stopped working professionally other than the F1n as I said and a Fujifilm XPro1 which I have just sold and am seriously looking at the Q. I have never lost my passion for photography its just been curtailed somewhat by family situations. Thank you once again.
Wow yes that does sound like quite a collection over the years. I can’t tell you not to get a Q cause. Live mine very much and it is perfect for street photos and well pretty much anything I shoot, very light weight. Prices should start going down now that the q3 is out. I find there is not enough difference between q and q2 to upgrade. But from the q to q3 it is worth upgrading but I cannot justify that for now and my q still ticks flawlessly
Ive been hovering over the “buy now” button and you, yes you, have caused me to press it. My wife will be contacting you in due course. Love your presentation
Ahaha like they say « if I die I hope my wife doesn’t sell my cameras the price I told her I paid »
Jokes aside at first it takes time to get used to the simplicity especially if your coming from canon or sony mirrorless. Then I realized that most functions they sold me on I never used anyway.
@@3sixty2degres I used Pentax since 35 film days to a K1, decided to modernise and went Sony A7Riv and GM lenses. Out of curiosity I got a Fuji couple of weeks ago, that turned my life upside down. I loved using the Fuji but I always looked at the shots when I got home and thought if only I’d used my Sony. So, I want to size factor, I want the more manual film body type of experience but I want the image quality. I think Leica will give me that. At 72 I want one camera I can dedicate myself to.
Nice! Different from the rest Jean-Francois
Thank you love the video, aiming to get one next month :)
I went a year with a fujifilm Xt 5 and xpro 2 and last week I came back to my Leica Q and I'm back to loving it.
Jean-Francois, thank you for your time and input, helped me out a lot. Just got a Leica Q and big thanks.
Hope you’ll enjoy it! The lack of functions is it’s greatest feature !
Thanks man.@@3sixty2degres
Please make some demo re: Macro function, want to see how sharp it is. Thanks for your great demo.
Thinking of adding the original Q to my Leica M kit... Thanks..
I bought my Leica Q in 2016. it is the first digital camera that I had for that long. It is still a very competitive camera, especially when it comes to image quality. I will never trade it in. I would add a monochrom to it though. :-) btw Leica recommends to disable image stabilisation, as it may impact the quality of the image being taken.
This was great thanks. Do you use a filter on your camera?
I have a UV filter made by leica otherwise I never use filters, why buy great lens if we are to put a cheap glass over it, I've found that it takes a lot to scratch a lens, and the scratch has to be pretty big for it to show on the photo. For the sake of the argument, I scratch a lens of my minolta with a key and I never saw the difference on a photo. But that's me. I don'T think the price of something makes a difference on how to handle it. I wouldn't buy dinner ware only for sundays and special occasions, to me every day is the perfect day to use what we've got.... Of course I won't go out of my way to break it either.... just no more careful with that than any other camera I use. was that about your question or I think I was just blabling on
Thank you for the excellent review. I'm about to buy a 2nd hand Q and appreciate the settings overview and your thoughts on this camera.
Be aware that now that the Q3 is out, maybe the Q2 will be roughly the same price as the Q was, worth comparing but if you get a good deal on the Q I say you will probably enjoy it very much. The only difference really with Q2 is the weather seal and the bigger MG Pixels... I personally enjoy the 24MGp
@@3sixty2degres Thanks for reply. I can't afford the Q3 and it would be a stretch for me to get the Q2. I believe the Q will be more than enough to meet my needs. As you state in your review, newer models being released don't make the previous model a bad camera. :)
Very informative, thank you!
My Q-P has been with me now for 5 yrs. 28 mm has its limitations (at 24MP) but the quality of this lens is unbelievable! I have some serious GFX gear, for work, but for everything else my Q takes the biscuit. I can’t sum it up any better than that!
Gfx is some nice material too! But I agree I always have my q at all times as for the rest, only when needed
great review Jean cheers. I shoot so many different brands and formats for work and play, but never used a leica it's always nagged me to get one just to get it out of my system. I don't want the Q2 the files are far too big for my needs, the digital M system too expensive, the M film system, that's for a future purchase right now I'm wanting something to chuck in my bag and go play. The Q is looking goog to me so far. Liked and subbed cheers Paul
Yes 24mpixels is my sweet spot but now I so badly want to use the leica m systems back to film
I haven’t touched my other cameras since I ought the Q and I’ve been shooting more then ever. And for street I like it in manual focus slow paste photography a joy.
@@3sixty2degres 24 is more than enough mate. I buy a lot of old folders, TLRs, SLRs etc etc from charity shops mainly as content for my channel, I love trying to get a result out of old tech, I keep looking for $50 M6 not found one yet but hey only a matter of time.......
@@3sixty2degres Awesome mate sounds bloody good to me. I'm normally impulsive and pretty decisive when buying gear, but for some reason leica has me confused. One day I'll get an M6, no issue, but digital for every day use ie family street general stuff the Q looks great....then again so does the CL...tough life aye.
@@paultaylorphotography9499 ahah I get that … apparently the m6 is not so much a good deal cause they don’t make parts for them anymore and the light meter always breaks and you van’t get it fixed anymore that’s why when buying a film I will go for the m4-2 Canadian. The one ghat saved Leica from bankruptcy. It’s all metal partis instead of brass parts tu accommodate the gadget for auto advance so they made it stronger and easier to fix … and I do believe the q is great if you can get used to getting closer to your subject
Great video fella ..I also have a Q ..not had it for long but adore it already ..slightly off subject .but I wondered what strap you are using as it looks rather lovely ..anyway ..looking forward to more videos ..cheers
thanks well the strap came with it it says Very Release on it but I can't find it nowhere
Did you make the 3.1 update so that the leica fotos app work again?
Ok thanks jean
Feb 2024. Bought the Q. Plan is to sell my Fuji x100F, and then see what the soon coming VI will bring. Then decide which 🤔 Thx for the excellent video!
Yeah I bought the x-t5 cause I love film so I wanted to test out the simulations. And I’m back to having too many choices and options and settings… and always wondering if I could’ve set better 🙁
@@3sixty2degres Hehe sitting here with my “new” Q and wondering where the hell are alle the buttons and switcharoos Im used to on Fuji. Then I remember I used to forget half of them..
No doubt this Q simplicity takes a bit to get used to (that darn non-programable red film button irritates me just saying).
Have ordered a couple of spare batteries, really looking forward to take it for a prolonged spin.
Super video Jean @3sixty2dedres !
Une hesitation que j'ai (lire: avais) sur la Q est le manque de stabilisation d'image, mais suite a l'information presente dans ton video ca confirmer que j'etais dans le tort. Pour le manque de protection d'intemperie c'est sur qu'un Q2 offre cette avantage (et beaucoup plus meme) mais au double du prix..
Oui DIS je peux shooter à une vitesse tres le te et être sharp genre 1/25
I went from the Q to Q-P to Q2. ...and back to the Q for a great price. That Q2 file size was overkill for my street photography. Q-P was my favorite. I plan on picking up 2 or 3 when the prices come down after the Q3 comes out. Cheers! Will be my last digital Leicas.
Yes the file size of the Q2 is quite the investment new computer more memory… and you’re right it is a bit overkill for street photography. I now own a m4 which I really enjoy but I haven’t gotten much great photos, there is a bit of a learning curve with the rangefinders
@@3sixty2degres Same. I picked up an MP film camera. Love the build quality of the camera but hate the processing and scanning workflow. I'm pretty good at using the focal distance on the lens...so I hardly use the rangefinder patch.
excuse me.Its capable for long time exposures or only a few seconds like de Leica M?
Well it doesn’t have a bulb mode so say you have tripod and set it to aperture priority say f11 at 100 ISO it will expose for the time it takes but we can’t really in full manual. It’s funny cause I also have the little d-lux 7 a micro 4 3 and it’s loaded with fonctions
Does the Lightroom app come with the camera or did you have to purchase that?
Leica fotos app? It’s free
@@3sixty2degres Awesome! Thx. I'll have to try that out. I have the x2 right now come bonus time I might get the Q. I like your videos. Good job in NOT trying to make a video. Very good camera skills. I can see some other people don't know quite what they are doing yet with the Q.
I have a strange problem with my Leica Q. With all controls (including the aperture) set to A the aperture remains fixed at 1.7, with the other controls (ISO, shutter speed) changing with light conditions. Manually changing the aperture using the aperture ring works well, but the automatic position doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
I should see if mine does that. I’ve never used it in auto. I’ll let you know. Otherwise maybe shoot in aperture priority
The easiest camera to use. Worth ever dollar or euro 😂.
