I had the exact same biases towards Q2, but I was absolutely blown away by the image quality of the Q2 Monochrome. Now I switched to a classic Q2 and completely happy with it. As for the price, think of a 'standard' Sony A7IV and add a few descent prime lenses and you're more-less in the same price category.
I went from an X100F, to an X100V, to a Leica Q. The biggest thing that annoys me with the Q is how there are no markings on the exposure compensation dial. I like how on the Fuji system you can set the exposure compensation with the camera turned OFF! Why, Leica? Why can't we do this on the Q/Q2??
It’s a multifunctional dial set by holding FN and choosing what the dial operates, hence the lack of markings. But I agree, I’d rather it be ex.comp as that’s what I use it for!
Thanks for Sharing this Felix! Really looking forward to buy my own Leica Q. I've used Leica D-Lux Typ 109 before but ended selling it, due to financial problem. I just can't believe how nice Leica outputs was it's very surreal! Keep on creating!
I think my phone also has a 28mm eq. focal length. Perhaps I should just go for a walk with my phone in order to teach my brain the same lesson you learned. ;-)
As a generally street photographer who loves the mood of film, I clicked on some of your videos. Great editing and narrative! Love your automotive composition and new take. I've subscribed and followed IG too :). What is your experience with Leica Q vs. Fujifilm cameras?
Nice shots. Personally I'm still waiting for the Q3 with a 35F2 lens or even a 50F2. 28mm is not my focal length. And the whole "you can crop to 35mm" is not the same compression. Disclaimer: I have not heard anything from Leica about the Q3 - but keep hope alive! Oh, one more thing - love the Analog Vibes preset pack.
Yes, A Q3 with a 40 or 50mm lens would be my dream, I couldn't afford it but maybe a couple of years down the line haha. Thank you so much for your support! :)
Cool video! I have one off top question, I just bought my own Leica q and one thing bothering me, something heavy is shaking in it (when I shake the camera), I think in the lens. Is it normal thing? Overall camera is working perfectly. Thanks in advance!
Nice one, as always :) Is there a secret to the shiny and clean colors of the cars? I relly like that look, but couldn't recreate it like this in the past.
Thank you! It really depends on the lighting, having some nice light hit the cars makes a big difference. And I edited them with my preset pack, that's where the colors come from :) But it also depends on the exposure I would say, I overexposed most of these shots in lightroom to give that clean look
@@ericrjennings Ok than, try watching your video late at night. White paper frame and computer screen aren't the same. At that point your photos don't stand out, your white frame stand out! Super annoying!

Yeah you really can't beat the location 🤯 It's definitely not everybody's cup of tea and I don't think I could use it as my only camera, but it managed to surprise me
The point wasn't that the Leica Q Photos were better than the A7RII photos or the other way around, the point was that I have thousands of photos taken of cars in the 50mm-85mm range, and it was a creative challenge using a wide lens which I normally never use for this type of photography.
I am not a big fan of prime lenses, although I have a lot of them, Canon FD lenses the most. But a good zoomlens is so much nicer. If you want to make portraits, oké use a 80mm on a fullframe. But no, I never got so enthousiast as you got with the prime lens. But I like to see it, I am a follower now. (I have nothing with Leica, I like Canon, Fuji and the old Sigma Merrills) The Sigma Merrills also have primelens on the camera, but I own three of them. So I still can chose a little.
Dude your channel will blow up sooner or later! Those pictures and your editing style are just on point!🔥🔥
I think you right
Thank you so much bro!!! 🥰❤️
as someone who does majority automotive photography i loved seeing your compositions and your take on how you shoot cars!
Thank you so much! I love automotive photography but I realized I always shoot very similar compositions so it was great to try something new
I had the exact same biases towards Q2, but I was absolutely blown away by the image quality of the Q2 Monochrome. Now I switched to a classic Q2 and completely happy with it.

Photos, video, cars, camera, music, everything is perfect, congrats !
Where is the location with all those cool cars?
As somewhat of an automotive photographer myself, these shots blew me away!
You are so funny.
UA-cam must pay you more for being so funny. 🥰
Thank you for the music track. Breath of fresh air.
Love your videos. Keep it coming..
I finally bought a Q - titanium finish! Great review and the location is outstanding. Makes your point very well.
Mega nices Video! Bleib dran. Dein Channel wird eines Tages explodieren. Mega krasse Fotos und nicer Humor 😂
Danke!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I just discovered while watching your video that one of your photos featuring Porsche 911 cars is my lock screen. Keep up the great work.
Haha that's awesome! One of the ones I have uploaded to Unsplash a few years ago?
@@futc.photography Yes, I searched on Unsplash for car photos and I liked yours. In fact not one, but two of you photos are my lock screen :)

This was my first encounter with your UA-cam video, and I enjoyed it very much. The witty phrases was entertaining too. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)

Will your preset package work with DXO Photolab? Loved the photos!!
Thank you so much! They are just built for Lightroom, I'll look into supporting other software in the future possibly :)
@@futc.photography Thanks for the response. Really enjoy your videos.
Great video! Where is this location please?
Classic Remise in Düsseldorf Germany :)
have you tried a Ricoh GRIIIX? It is an AMAZING camera!
Some awesome shots here! I especially loved how the black and white ones turned out! 😀
Thank you!!! Yes the black and white ones were straight out of camera I believe, I played around with the Q's b&w jpegs a bit :)
If you had to choose between xt1+23 f1.4 R for 800e and Leica Q for 2000,what would you pick?
I think my phone also has a 28mm eq. focal length. Perhaps I should just go for a walk with my phone in order to teach my brain the same lesson you learned. ;-)
Definitely worth a try!!!
I really love this video! Personally, though, the music was a bit too loud in contrast to your voice. Great vid though! I want a leica now
sind so geile fotos dabei!

Also - the orange vintage car shots around 5:21 are my favorite! Was that pretty close to RAW?

Thank you! I haven’t heard anything like that I don’t think that should be happening
@@futc.photography Thanks! Maybe image stabilization?
Yes, it is normal. It's the stabilization when it is not in use.
this was a whole therapy session 😭
Indeed, some of us really need wide-angle lens therapy
So what does the Leica do what other(more affordable) brands can't?
You should do review of Ricoh GR III X
I’ve wanted to try one for ages! If I ever get my hands on one I will definitely do a review!
Nice one, as always :)

@@futc.photographyhow do you expose usually in camera? Underexpose on the shot and then overexpose on post?
r all those photos edited? or straight out of camera?
They're all edited, other than the short section when I talked about the in-camera black and white
What a video 🎉
Wish the slideshow had different color background, the white that everybody uses distracts form photos!!
I think the white makes the photo standout … like a frame

Laughs, Car is 45,000. Euros $85 in my bank account 😂
What's the music?

Bro make a xt30 vs xe4 video❤❤
If I ever get my hands on an X-E4 I will definitely make a video :) Don't currently know anybody with an X-E4 unfortunately :/
@@futc.photography appreciated🙌
@@futc.photography I might be able to help you out, you’re based in Aachen, right?
Yeah man that place was amazing. Great video! Not buying a Q though.
Yeah you really can't beat the location 🤯 It's definitely not everybody's cup of tea and I don't think I could use it as my only camera, but it managed to surprise me
You look like the main character in hifi-rush if he was a photographer
Haha I had to google that but I see a resemblance 😂
Great video! Still laughing.....
tbh I liked the A7RII photos a lot better...
The point wasn't that the Leica Q Photos were better than the A7RII photos or the other way around, the point was that I have thousands of photos taken of cars in the 50mm-85mm range, and it was a creative challenge using a wide lens which I normally never use for this type of photography.
Been looking at one since October but Peter McKinnon doing Leica q2 shout outs started making the q1 spike in price. Gotta wait
Yeah quite a few people on youtube have been raving about the Q2 making it more expensive than it should be after almost 4 years :/
I am not a big fan of prime lenses, although I have a lot of them, Canon FD lenses the most. But a good zoomlens is so much nicer. If you want to make portraits, oké use a 80mm on a fullframe.

I liked your content and humour, gave a thumbs up and a like. Looking forward to more content. Hopefully get that $82 up a bit :)
Much appreciated! 🥰
Zpoilurrrr aluuuuurt
Don't eat that shit bro. Stay fit.
More Leica videos please :) no I will not buy you a Leica
Okay I need to get my hands on some more Leicas somehow 😂🥷
Sigh.
Same as any iPhone pic, TBH.
It's NOT optically extremely good at all. Turn off software correction, and you see how shit it really is.
