Cleaning the lens- I ve heard number of times about this issue. Like sensors getting dusty.. Q: How often it happens? How long time it serves without or between cleaning? And you ve mentioned that it cost 500$, does it mean that during some years of use one should additionally pay this money to keep it in good condition? TY

Great story about a wonderful camera! The story behind my S2 is nowhere near as interesting, but I just got it back from Advanced Camera where it received a much-needed CLA. It took longer than estimated, but it works fine now! I hope that you enjoy it for many years to come! 😊

I just a Q and am going to try your settings and see how they work.

I sold mine : worst AF and ergonomics I had even seen in a camera!

enjoyed your presention and style, like your pictures too. I got a Q, swapped that for a Q2, went back to the Q. it's a great camera and the pictures are lovely. nice and tactile to use. I recommend it. t has the Leica feel, I've had several M system too, but it is so much more convenient

Do you use any filter Infront of your lens? Your images look very natural without a digital touch. Maybe that's also the magic of the Q. I'm buying mine tomorrow

Question: do you find the lens locking bar a bit untrustworth? I've had some near-drop misses, with the lens knocking free from that tiny bar.

Nice video. My questions is, since I do understand the concept of an every day camera and of “simpler” setup, do you guys use SOOC images on the Q system? Because from what I have seen, it seems that I don’t see much people saying those love the jpg from a Q or all of them do post processing (jpg or raw). And that’s one of the reasons that I, in spite that I do love the Q concept, I do also recognize that I do love Fujifilm film simulation for images SOOC.

Can that work on my mini 2se

Just found your channel man - I feel like we have had similar paths as I now own a leica m240 after finding a Nikon S and S2 rangefinder at an estate sale last year. Got the s2 working and it shoots some amazing photos and got me loving a rangefinder! Just subscribed - keep up the great work.

I need to send my Q in to have view finder replaced, apparently this is a known issue with the Q but potentially 4 months ?? not liking that.

Use leica Q is now going for the same price as new fuji x100 6. Got the Q instead (for $90 less) and love it.

Love my Q (116) and pair it with my M10 for a great kit... Thanks

35mm Summarit 2.4 paired with my Leica M6 as well. Agree with the mini Q assessment. Wonderful design language!

Hey Brian, I stumbled on your page searching for some info on Leica cameras. So glad I did!! I subscribed instantly. Back in 2020 I bit the bullet and bought a leica Q2 but only had it for 2 months. I sold it in a panic due to the uncertainty of our world at that time (pandemic lol) and my wife convinced me to sell it, they never want us to have any fun. I loved it for the short time I had it and I wish I would have kept it. I didnt even get to name her. Im new to photography in the sense that I've had a DSLR camera and I know my way around the exposure triangle etc but I'm nowhere near an expert or know what I'm REALLY doing. I just enjoy the art of photography and I want a cool camera that will last a long time to take pics of my family. Would you recommend the 240 or the Q/Q2 system for casual photo taking? Thanks

Excellent video bro. I had a Q2 for a few months but sold it in a panic during the pandemic. I didn't even really get to know it, give it a name or understand the power it possessed. God I miss it so much. I may double back and get another Q2 or I may opt for the Q, depends on my budget and the prices. Thanks for this informative video.

Hi Brian, i think you referred to slr image quality being more detailed than an m6 (but in different words), would you be able to expand on the differences and what you like and dislike about them? Thankyou p.s. great video

how much did the service cost?

Which protective filter do you have on the Q? The M240 is nice, I’m looking at a 246 eventually to go with my Q

We have the same Leicas and I wish to learn from you. Subscribing!

Looking through videos while waiting for my Leica Q to come in, thanks for adding tons of photos to the video and talking about the Leica service!

How much did it end up costing to service and change the skin to blue? Thinking of changing the color too

Good to see another fellow Portlander here. Great video!

Forest green on that nikon is mint 👌🏾

Beautiful straps man!

There is only one company that seems to be holding its own: Canon. I own a Fujifilm X100S which I purchased new in 2014. Last year, I decided it needed a sensor cleanup, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to have the display replaced, because there was a small scratch on it. Display was still fully functional. I called the Fujifilm repair center in New-Jersey, explained what the problem was, they told me to fill in the form and send the camera. I sent the Camera, with the filled form as instructed. One week after, I received the camera, with a note: Camera out of warranty, no spares, return to sender. I was surprised since the form I filled in did not exclude any year of model. I will continue shooting the X100S, and I will upgrade with a Q3, not with a X100VI. Fujifilm clearly does not care about supporting their product. Now that the X100 series is successful, they don't even need to make an effort. No more Fujifilm for me!

The very contrasty Phoenix 200 worked really well in this setting. Have to try this film myself...

Just went to Cannon Beach for the first time and very much enjoyed this! I hope you keep making these types of videos, man.

Digging the vibe of these videos. Very subdued and subtle. Color grading matches the tone really well. I watched a few before I picked up the M240 and it was solid hype material ha.

GREAT PHOTOS OF THE LIGHTHOUSE. IT FELT LONELY AND ROMANTIC AT THE SAME TIME. LOTS OF DIFFERENT EMOTIONS. THANK YOU.

Hello from Texas! New sub - Really looking forward to more of your videos - especially if you're willing to share your professional experiences (using on project; editing, etc.) using your "Fully Leica Kit." I'm hoping to obtain my first Leica camera (the Q) sometime this month.

Q should be 35mm.

I felt cold just watching this! Well done✌️🇦🇺

What thumb grip did you spring for? I bought my Q last year and absolutley love the feel of it, great vid man!

Lovely kit. You.l have a great photo year with this gers ! I had a Leica Q, but i sell it, i prefer my manual focus on my M240 and my M4-P.

Great lenses

I love this video. The cinemascope. The aggressive grading. Lowkey feel. Great shots, with digital and film side by side. Iz all good. I recently picked up an M240 myself, only 12 years later lol. I love it to death and I'm psyched UA-cam is just throwing great stuff like this one at me now. It did the same thing with your Q video ha. I didn't realize both were from the same person until just a few minutes ago. Obviously gotta subscribe.

While still not cheap, a used q or 240 in 2024 provide a lot of camera for the money if you want Leica. You can get both and add a 35 or 50 lux asph previous version and have everything you might need for the best price on a used m11.

i just got an m8; even older. society peaked a long time ago.

Love it!

This video was an emotion. Loved the howling winds and your narration style. Thanks for sharing.

Comic sans?

I just bought a QP and hoping it arrives tomorrow. I am hoping it is all I ever want in a camera. It’s been 35 years since I was living a live of photography and I’m ready to resume.

If I ever consider a Q it will be the Monochrome.

Its a perfect focal length for me too.

Nice Videos

Nice review, and really lovely photos. I’m absolutely there with you on the Leica glass. I’ve used Voightländer and others, but Leica always seems better to me. I also use the 35mm Summarit, It’s basically glued to my M10-D. Good to see it get some love, it’s a really underrated lens. 📷😻

Love my 35mm Summicron

I have a Q typ 116 and was considering an M240 so I can play with the lenses. The thing is, it's so similar to a Q and arguably not as convenient as the Q. Can you comment on how the two fit as a pair? I have an Olympus Pen-F with a bunch of lenses so I have a bunch of kit to sell to make it happen financially. But i'm just not sure that if I had the m240 + Q that i'd actually choose the M240 over the Q. Any help appreciated.

Lovely images‼️✌️🇦🇺
