Just rolling through a few videos with the Simera -- it's interesting to see the ability to switch between ~F5.6 for street work and then drop it to 1.4 for what you would usually accomplish with a 35mm. @0:23 -- leading out with a strong moment! The color blue seriously holds it down with this.

@3:11 is spicy man. There is so many layers to the image. The one shot from the Summilux 1.4 @4:11 still makes you want to magically come across $6k to spend. It was good to hear that you didn't hate the weight and size of the Simera. That has been my big question when deciding between this or one of the F2 variants.

Looking great

Some banger street portraits there!

Picking up

Lookin forward to the Hung Supply bag setup!

Very nice work!

Good to see you on here Shawn! Just got recommended this, good stuff!

Love this. Great video. So glad I found this!!

When I go out to shoot street photography I generally carrie several things with me. 1. I prefer to use Sony 135mm and 85mm GM prime to keep my distance from people that may not like their pictures taken. 2. I wear a shirt that reads "Never Underestimate a photographer who's also a U.S Veteran" (got it on ebay) which sets people at ease. 3. Positive Attitude! I walk around with a smile, say 'hello' to everyone. Lastly, General rule: Whether positive or negative, the energy that we emit into your environment effects the outcome of our day. Think happy and smile. Smiles can be contagious 😊

❤❤❤

Great work! Thanks for sharing! Do you have any suggestions for people who are just starting to explore this and don't yet have a portfolio of pictures to share from yet?

Hey~ really splendid unboxing!🤚

Hey , love your video. Thanks for sharing. Keep up with your journey. M246 Monochrom is a great camera. I’ve been shooting with the Q2 Monochrom and love the results but do like the option of changing lenses in the M Series.

Superb video Shawn. Your work is amazing 🙌

I've been shooting 35mm on apsc so technically 50mm equivalent, so when you said that about distance to be shy, I thought, "I totally get this." And you're right: if I don't go out, I won't get the snap. Great post. Great advice. Keep going!

Brand new subscriber, Shawn. I love the video, including the content, but also the music, the way you put it together, everything. Very nicely made. I got some great tips and advice, which is why I subscribed. :)

May want to linger on the photos a bit longer. I couldn't really take them in before they were gone. Nice shots from what I caught though. Also a M240 NYC shooter ✌️

Great stuff shawn

Love it

were there fireworks ? I was tempted to photograph brooklyn but I just shot around soho / greenwich village

I commend you for not only braving the crowds yesterday, but also getting this video up so fast! I had big plans to go out yesterday and the heat compelled us to stay home. You got some great shots! Loved the rollerskaters dancing, and the zoom in on the iguana! Also all the photographer portraits 👌👌

Check out the Voightländer 50mm F/1.2.

This was a neat little review. Great to see someone outside for once, instead of the desktop studio setup we usually see in gear review videos 😅

the wobble you have can be fixed easily. the front group does not have separation is has a specific haze. In my experience this lens does not suffer from schneidereitis but has small circular haze build up on the glass that reflects on the black paint and looks like schneidereitis. The front group can be removed and the glass too but by a very good craftsman who can cut the edge with a fine saw. I did this yesterday after buying this lens after watching your video. I have a decade of camera repair experience and even for me it was challenging to work that precisely while cutting. I am located in Austria if you ever wish to get it serviced.

Thanks for the review! Do you feel like the Leica 28mm 1.4 is that much better than the Typoch? Like how much sharper did you feel it was

excellent video, your photos are so organic from the 240, what lightroom profile do you use ?

I think you pushed me over the edge on this lens. Loved your images-nice work!

Great review and thank you for posting. Love the images from the lens.

Keep it up shawn!

I love that Leica 28mm Elmarit asph.

These images are insane!!! Beautiful work!

Looks like you cant cut corners with it... You need to prime the canvas before doing the painting...will solve the light coming through it and will help to not use that much paint. But they look amazing. I think I will start one today

At 2:15 ...the Minolta looks like it was shot on some Agfa or Konica negative film. Looks so good! I love the low contrast and slight cyan tint. It's not good for high contrast scene or landscapes but it shines with portraits! Maybe the lens can use a CLA but as a people lens it works really well.

Gee, whatever did the masters of the 20th century do with small maximum apertures and slow emulsions?.

Great use of the typ246, I adore mine. Really great shots my man.

Great job

love it

Love seeing your shots!

tompkins is great!

00:01 your name is Sean Aginh?

Bellroy advertises their bag having an internal airtag slippocket. Can you find it in your bag?

I had the same with a Zeiss Planar and it was poor factory quality. Sent it to a lens specialist and it’s now perfect. Seems Cosina can be a bit slack on quality.

Nice and informative...I'm considering adding this camera to my Leica M5 to keep my film interest up. Thanks for investing the time to share your experience...RJ

Hey Shawn, how did you handle exposure in the bright light? Did you use a dark red or ND filter or just expose for the highlights? Thx, enjoyed the images and the video. (even in 2024!)

Love the b&w photography

Zine looks awesome, dude! And great video!

This zine is really nice! Thank you for making this!

3 minutes into the video and there's already a great amount of information about your process. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This was REALLY valuable.

Love it. Looking great
