Thorsten, love your videos. Is there a lens cap you can use on a 50 summilux black chrome will the lens hood is on in the proper orientation or do you always have to take it off to put a lens cap on?
Similar function in my Fujifilm Xpro2 camera. I have the zoom in focus assist off so I always see full-frame when manually focusing, I never use AF. The thumb wheel on the Xpro also allows me to quickly zoom in on focus assist when I need it. Its a great little tool to have but as you say Thorsten can be distracting if ON as default. Thanks.
How do you focus on moving people or objects with the OVF? Without using the liveview of course... because I don't like it and I find it rather inaccurate. The reason I have a Leica M is to do everything with the OVF. Thanks in advance for your reply, Regards.
If you ever wrote a book on how you become the traveling photographer I would love to here your story Torsten. I’ve been a fan of a lot of the projects you have been creating with also being a photographer and filmmaker. I don’t hold any relationship view and I know that would be one thing we would cash on with art and photography began something we both have in common. I went back to art school before the lockdowns and did a project on you. I’m trying to create something new right now with working towards my own dreams with just wanting to say that over the years you have inspired me to try and go out and create photography and filmmaking projects myself. Just to say thank you and enjoy your trip away 😊
Thank you (from Hong Kong today). The book "A Little Book on Photography" tell some of it, and the upcoming "The Artists Guide to the Galaxy" will be a more hands-on for all artists. Tell me about the project if you like, thorsten@overgaard.dk
@@MagicOfLight_ThorstenOvergaard I find it faster and I don't need to change my grip on the camera. And I don't need to move the camera from my eye if using the EVF. Easier to see the options in the dark, too. But I suppose I could change that to the FN button on the back, which would be even more similar to how I'm used to it, where it was on the M (and my Nikons have it by the shutter button too).
Hold on, when you press that button LV turns on yes but will automatically zoom in. This wont work to press 2 times and on 2nd time to zoom there is no option for that. Misleading info
It's even better: When you press the Fn button, the Live View turns on *without delay* with 10x or 5x or whichever selection you made last time, and then you click for full view *without delay* when you want that. (If the Live View turns on full-frame first, and then another click to zoom in it would take longer). Take your M11 and try it 🙂
Live View and 5x and 10x 'zoom in' are difficult ideas to explain in words alone. I think those ideas deserve a longer, more detailed video. My M10-R doesn't have that little round button on the top right side of the camera's top plate. I think I can overcome the problem you describe by getting my subject in sharp focus and then, quickly, pressing the M10-R's shutter button five or six times in a row.
@@thomastuorto9929 , the method I described assumes that I'm shooting a moving subject wide open at, say, f/1.2. At f/1.2 your depth of field is extremely shallow. Using your EVF get your subject in focus for an instant and then take 5 or 6 quick shots. One - at least - of the 5 or 6 shots will be in sharp focus.

It's nice to still interact with you on UA-cam now that we don't have DPreview anymore! keep up the good work..
Thank you for the tip !
Takk Thorsten for nok en flott video. Du får meg til å gå ut igjen å ta bilder som jeg gjorde for 20 år siden! Fortsett ditt gode arbeide!
Love to hear that. Thank you 🙂
Thanks for sharing Thorsten.
What a beautiful place you are staying
Thank you, RS, been in that place for every workshop the last 8 years 🙂
Great tip... I will use it the next time I'm shooting with the M11. Thank you Thorsten!
Thank you, Bah Aram 🙂

I usually find a focus point in front of them, and when they walk into it, I take 2-3 photos (and one of them should be in focus)
I own Fujifilm X-Trans Sensor Camera and I wanted to know which of your presets would be suitable for Weddings I like bright vibrant colors.
Some of them yet. Generally my presets are made for natural look.
Thanks for the feedback which preset pack is your latest natural look maybe add the link to the pack please
Great tip. Thank you, Thorsten.
Thank you, Virgil 🙂
You can half press the shutter and then focus and the focus aid remains inactive. Thats how I do it to avoid having to turn it on and off :)

Hmmm, I like that idea, but I like that button set to bring up the iso selection
Don't use the ISO dial for that?

I think you can also custom set the rear dial… as a push in for options.

Coffee is very strong 🙂

i had this like 2 weeks already since i bought M11

Zone focus doesm
't work this type of photography or the type you do. 5-6 times & with a very slight move to your subject? Just wondering.

I love to watch this kind of videos knowing I never will have the money to buy a Leica.
Never say never.
