Leica Camera Gear that I Need

Great video Paul

Stop going advices .We don't come here for advices

Newer cameras won’t automatically be better, your pictures rock, no need for a new one.

One thing that makes me hesitate to get a Leica is the attention it draws. I was at an outdoor car show this weekend and I just can't imagine what it would have beenlike to have a Leica and have people noticing me and staring and pointing. Maybe I'm wrong, but even when I take a classic Nikon film camera it draws a lot of unwanted attention. I've had bicycle riders stop and turn around to chat. that can be a good thing, but it gets old really fast. And the stares from the shady characters made me a bit insecure.

I'm sorry, your self-promotion in the last videos is way too much for my taste. I haven't subscribed to your channel to hear from you giving workshops more than half the time of the video. I feels like a visual newsletter.

Curious that you use an M camera for film, but the Q for digital. Any particular reason you don't just use a digital M and share lenses?

Finally, someone says it! I also prefer SLRs a million times more than mirrorless.

Great vid, I love the single mindedness of shooting monochrome. I have a Q1 set to high contrast monochrome. I really like seeing the shot in mono through the evf - something the sweet M8 I once owned could never do, the only thing I miss however is the shutter clunk!✌️🇦🇺

The camera that proved to me that digital has come of age is the a7III. The low light performance of the a7III is still relevant now. It transformed my landscape photography by allowing me to get great low noise handheld shots right before sunrise and after sunset. My M10M is my dream camera, and it's my first choice for just about everything nowadays. I use it every day to document my life. Monochrome takes more thought, especially attention to light and shadow, but when I get it right, it's just magical and so gratifying.

I agree with a lot of what you've said in this video. I hate it when people post their images in black and white and color all the time. Often, it's not about the viewer's opinion. It's fishing for comments to have more interaction on social media. As a Leica shooter with some Leica gear, I can also recommend buying used Leica gear. I bought 90% of my Leica gear used, and you can often find used gear in absolute mint condition. Used gear is not sold cheaply, but it can save much money compared to new gear. Even official Leica stores do sell used gear with a warranty.

Flippin eck, Paul, you could’ve been speaking directly to me in the first half of this excellent video. That Q2M is calling my name. Thanks for sharing your other gear with us, very interesting 😁

I love your monochrome compositions Paul and I'd like to use it far more in my photo walk street photography. Wondering if your online course would benefit me as I don't enjoy taking portraiture images. What's your opinion?

I use Fuji, they work for me. The only other cameras that Interest me are Leica. However my wife knows they are not cheap, I have no chance of smuggling one of those into the house lol.

I am not a fan of when people send out BW and color and then ask. I post it as I see it. I will not let go of my M10M even though I am adding the M11M. I love the M10M and even with the M11M I will still use the older model all the time. I find it perfect lithesome older lenses that I do not like the way they render on the M11M. Of course just my opinion. Lovely work Paul!!

Like I said before, even though I cant afford Leica at the moment... I know that one day I'll own one. You sir deserve that Leica and much more. Love your photos. You are an inspiration.

In my opinion, it is important what you photograph, not the camera used. I have a Fujifilm x100T that is limping along (literally), and I got this amazing portrait image (with her permission) of a woman sitting on the ground in a parking lot. Also, I liked your input on the lenses used - for me a camera body is a body, but a proper lens takes the show.

LOL they do last a lifetime. My M6 and V4 cron have been with me for 35 years. a few CLAs and rangefinder re-cal but price per year was cheap.
