I’ve been thinking of getting a MP or MA. Does this option make sense for someone who might only shoot voightlander glass ?
Of course the Leica lenses are incredibly good... But the feel of the camera is the same with any other lens too! Just be aware of the fact that you might ending buying a Leica lens anyway 😂
That yellow flash between shots is annoyning but the camera is fantastic
Congratulations on your beautiful Leica MP and thank you for a really interesting video.
Thank you Andrew for your nice comment!
I got the Q3 for landscape. That was the best move I did. Still getting used to the 28 mm lens. As you said in the video, the lens is so good
hey Ronald, thanks for your comment! absolut, even with the crop mode you can kinda shooting like its a 90mm lens
Great to see other photographers coming to Notts and see what catches their eye! Good vid :)
Thank you Paice!
why tf all leica analog shooters have that fisherman beanie??
Really enjoyed your video & photos. Our daughter went to University there, there’s some lovely parts around the Uni park and nearer the river Trent too. Hope you revisit - thank you and all the best.
@@andrewsnape1705 thank you Andrew for your comment. It was only a day trip but I enjoyed it very much! I am sure I will revisit :)
The more i use, the more i love my leica Q3. Thanks for great review!
@@lgy8282 thank you as well for your nice comment! :)
if you ever think of selling, i would love to purchase it from you.
@@jjj8na will keep that in mind! 😄 but I think it’s very unlikely I will ever sell it!
Beanie came with the camera? 😂
Congratulations on your beautiful Leica MP.👍🌟🌟🌟🌟📷
Thanks!
Great video. Agree that it needs a 35mm lens!
Thank you Byron! we need to make a petition :D
The Q3 43mm is coming...
Was my favourite backup for when not bringing the SLR. Exposure good enough for slide photography, great lens, solid build, and the additional angled viewfinder. I worked in a photo store in the ‘90s and considered loads of cameras before I landed on this one.
(edit I had the T5 which also had the angled viewfinder)
Die Fotos die du mit der yashica geschossen hast sind so nice. Lomo 800 macht nen super Job, schade dass er so viel kostet wie Portra 😤 Anyway, geile combi!
Vielen dank Brudi! 💛 Ja echt schade! Wäre so nice, wenns zumindest ein günstigen guten Film geben würde!
are you scanning your film on your own? the color balance seems a little strange and the color tone is not that portra
Hey Angus, I get my film scannend - ive tried multiple labs as well in England / London as in Germany. My FilmLab of choice right now is the "UrbanFilmLab" in Kleve, Germany and they also have an "Noritsu" Scanner, which is a bit different then a "Fuji Frontier" that most Labs uses these days. That's why you also probably think that the colour tone is a bit off...it comes from the scanning process and it is the typical "Noritsu" Look which I personally love ;) (You can find a few videos about the scanner here on UA-cam) Hope that can help ;)
@@nielsfreidel Thanks for your response. i am in hong kong and not much choice here locally. i hardly got a "Noritsu" lab but the quality is so-so compare to what i have tried a prolab in US. it is quite discourage for me to use film.
I was in that library a couple of weeks ago. Interesting to see what captures the eye of a photographer who’s unfamiliar with the city 🙌
Hey David, thanks a lot for your comment. I've noticed that as well when people take pictures of cologne, where I live now most of my life :D
What lens are you using on the MP?
Hey Chris, i am using the Summicron 35mm 2.0 :) Favorite Vocal Length
Thanks a lot for talking about this important topic of our Job. I'ts very good to exchange experiences with your colleagues and reflect your pricing and how you comunicate with your clients. 🍀
Thx a lot Felix!
No You don’t need it . but it’s a thing of beauty
Congrats. Looked you up on Instagram and added. Love to see the pics. say hello if you see me.
Im waiting to see if the fujifilm GFX 50R #2 fixed rangefinder will be able to compete with this camera. Fujifilm would have to include ibis, reduce its size and make sure its lens is epic. The unique ability of the Q3 to change aspects ratios is incredibly useful. Of course offer film simulations and come in under 3500.00 the film simulations are only good for smaller jpeg files which is great for workflow.
Hey Niel , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
nice video. love from Germany
Thx Julien! Gruß zurück aus Deutschland :D
Hi, what camera strap are you using in this video?
Hey! in this video I actually have the original Leica strap on the MP which comes with the camera when you buy it new
preach
I never regretted spending so much money on my MP. It’s my favorite tool ever and I still love it since the day I purchased it. Congrats to you and I wish you many many great photographs!
Thank you very much John!
Insightful! Not getting the job isn't the end
Thank you Kristen! And absolut...seeing it as a learning and moving on is the best way...
Best camera ever❤
very nice video and very good advice
thanks a lot timothy - appreciate it!
Hi Niels, thank you for visiting Nottingham and capturing it so well with your photography. I live nearby Nottingham, but can you believe I did not know about the new City Library until I watched your video - wow, I have to go and visit!
Thank you very much for this comment Robin! :) Thats really what UA-cam is all about! Surprisingly, sometimes you don't see what is in front of your doorstep when you live there like how you see things when you're visiting for the first time.
The Leica MP is worth every € I think (got myself a silver version two years ago), because its so small and the since the rangefinder system has less camera body shake when you need to hold it very still I always prefer it over my SLRs. A little something on the side.....why does every Leica/Film photographer have to wear a fishermans beanie and use Lo-Fi hip hop beats as a background music. Of course Im thinking: You do You but I am just so tired of this look and feel which feels like a copy/paste version of any other photographer UA-camr. Look at Jamie Windsor or Samuel Streetlife. They are doing their own thing. I dont want to hurt you but I think that Im not alone with those thoughts (also regarding lots of other content creators). I always think to myself: It would be even better if there was less of a professional feeling to it, since it would be more raw and therefore more personal.
Ich antworte mal eben auf Deutsch, weil ich glaube das ist etwas einfacher zwischen den Zeilen zu lesen ;) Also ich ziehe mich an und trage, worauf ich Lust habe, nicht weil ich glaube es gefällt jemanden. Ich mache Videos auf die Lust habe - und mache Content den ich selber gerne sehe. Mehr gibts eigentlich garnicht zu sagen. In dem letzten Video trage ich übrings keine Mütze und es läuft House Musik :D das nur mal so nebenbei erwähnt. Ich frage mal so rum: warum müssen Menschen hier auf UA-cam über alles ein Fass aufmachen? Leben und Leben lassen sage ich mal. Ich schreibe doch auch nicht über dein Japan Kurzfilm: warum trägst du da ein Anzug, warum ist der Film so komisch bläulich gelooked... Lange rede, kurzer Sinn: ich glaub man muss sich als UA-camr einfach ein dickes Fell aneignen und bestimme Kommentare überlesen.
@@nielsfreidel Im Grund stimmt’s schon. Leben und Leben lassen ist auch meine Devise…und es tut mir auch Leid, dass ich dir das jetzt geschrieben habe, weil ich das im Grunde auch unter viele andere Channels die sich dem analogen Fotografieren widmen hätte schreiben können (und normal schreibe ich generell keine Kommentare). Das ist auch das erste Video das ich von dir sehe und habe deshalb auch nicht gesehen wie du deine Videos sonst so gestaltest. In dem Sinn hab ich dir auch ziemlich Unrecht getan. Vielleicht sehe ich einfach auch zu viele dieser Kanäle und erkenne irgendwann einfach zu stark die Klischees. Ich wollte mir nur mal meinen Frust darüber von der Seele reden, weil ich das Gefühl habe YT Creators kopieren bewusst oder unterbewusst einfach immer die selben Muster…aber das ist vermutlich einfach nur allzu menschlich. Und ja ich glaube auch man braucht ein dickes Fell als UA-camr….ich wollte dich damit aber wirklich nicht angreifen und habe es dummerweise trotzdem getan. Tut mir Leid. Der Kurzfilm von mir war übrigens ein Experiment… mit dem ich in keine bereits existierende Kerbe schlagen wollte. Dafür fehlt dem Film aber halt die Professionalität…daraus kann man dann machen was man will.
@@KameraObskura Danke für deine ausführliche Antwort :) und es stimmt natürlich schon auch mit den Klischees! Ich weiß es zu schätzen, dass man sich dann doch so offen drüber austauschen kann! Ich nehme das auf jeden Fall mit und probiere mit jedem Video etwas mehr mein "eigenen" Stil zu finden...aber das braucht natürlich auch Zeit... Und keine Sorge, wollte dein Film überhaupt nicht kritisieren, sollte nur ein Beispiel sein ;)
Congrats! I bought a new black paint MP in February and couldn’t be happier 😎
thank you Richard! Congrats likewise! :)
Very well said!! Totally agree with everything you said.
Thanks a lot Constantine!
Looks like a great adventure with some great footage and shots captured! Hitting Der Pschorr is a great move, amazing beer.
It absolutely was :) loved the beer at "Der Pschorr" as well!
look amazing , congrats
@@ricardocarrillo621 thanks a lot ricardo
Congrats on the MP. I’ve had mine for a few years now and it goes everywhere with me. It’s a special one
Thanks Kevin! Absolut :)
Unnecessary annoying music
Hey Henk, music is understandably down to personal preference - will nevertheless consider it for my next video...
@@nielsfreidelmusic is fine, adds to the video
was kb angeht definitiv auch meine traumkamera in genau der ausführung. ...werd ich mir aber erst gönnen wenn meine m6 mal den geist aufgibt - also wahrscheinlich nie😅
bis eine M6 nix mehr kann, wird viel Zeit vergehen! :D aber auch eine sehr schöne Kamera!
Geiles Video Niels!
Vielen Dank Nico! Schön, dass du vorbeischaut hast! :)
What an awesome camera! I am having the exact same dilemma as you were having. :) I want to buy the Leica M-A. Still trying to justify the purchase - should I go ahead and buy it, or should I spend much less and buy the new MINT Rollei AF? On the other hand, I want to get a camera for a lifetime, something I will hand down to my son. Not sure about the Rollei's longevity...
Hey Adam, Thanks for your comment! I would definitely go for a Leica if you can - is a bit like a Rolex, they cost more, but you don't really lose that much value in the long run. Especially if you decide, that you dont want to keep it in the end.
Buy an M-A ...
Awesome video, awesome shots and great camera bro
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Had the same thoughts before pulling the trigger. Never since regretted. This is a fantastic piece of gear that itself inspires to shoot. Once you get used to it and controls become second nature and you get used to a paired lens, know the film latitude it becomes a neurosurgery instrument shredding perfect shots way faster then any digital camera (non-M, though). This is THE ONE camera to take with you that never fails.
Well said! :) thanks for your comment!
Congrats! Have fun.
Thank you!
Your photos will be legendary
Thanks Robert - I hope so :D
Congrats on your MP! Mine also arrived last week (second hand, but good condition with CLA a few years ago) and now I have time to put a roll through it :) Also mine in silver chrome really looks great next to my M3 :) Did you purchase your MP before the price increase? I was blown away when I saw the MP was in 2019 around 4350€ :O Happy shooting und schönes WE!
Thanks! :) I just saw one of your Q3 Videos just a few weeks ago! I actually bought mine from an official shop - including "MWST" so I got it around 4000 new over all. I think silver is a great choice as well! they look very classic in silver - had mine M10 in Silver, which I loved...
@@nielsfreidel oh really? Thanks for tuning in :) Curious to see more shots of your MP!
the colors are beautiful, congrats man.
Thank you Lucas!
MP is the child of the M3 & the M6. It will make you think before you press the shutter, I promise you that. Just one piece of advice, stick to just one or at most just two lenses. That is the only way to get the best out of yourself and this amazing tool for pure photography. Enjoy the camera.
Thanks! Will stick to my 35mm always as it is my favorite focal length and I’ve used it a lot on the M9 & M10 - also buying more lenses for the Leica will make me absolut poor 😅
congrats on the mp. Hope I can visit Venice one day
Thank you Eddie! definitely try to go a bit of season as it is a bit less touristiy...venice is absolut beautiful - but whole Italy is actually...(especially the north in my opinion)
Man nice shots! I’m also contemplating on getting the MP or M11p. Same thoughts regarding the slowing down process. I’m currently shooting my Canon FTb and been experimenting different film stocks. On your first 2 rolls of portraits, did you meter them to overexpose of with correct exposure? Thanks man! Cheers!
Its amazing how this manuell focusing end everything makes you be more present - and not just taking shot by shot digital all the time... i usually expose correct with the MP and other cameras - the Portra400 roll was accidentally over exposed one step because I forgot to move the ISO dial :D turned out to be really nice! (its mostly the shoots at the end)
@@nielsfreidel thanks man! More to come!
fantastic Camera .
Absolut!
