Do you have the option of closing the shutter curtain for changing lens so the sensor is not exposed?

I agree with you 100% and it’s harder to compose at higher aperture that 1.2 and obliterate the background. However, a lense that is 1.2 and one at f2, and if you use the 1.2 and go to f2 it will be sharper that the other lense at f2.

So wait, what are they not telling us...?

I was living under a rock and found out about you this week. Been binge watching your videos ever since. This one is AMAZING, and I could see why I always miss focus shooting film with my SLR, while nailing it with my rangefinders. Wish you had one or two more videos shooting with film. Thanks for sharing such great work!

I like these lasers realy a lot 😊

Great, thank you

this video really helped me, thank you 💜

lol I've taken so many photos of that bull with my x100v, weird as soon as you "look" like a photographer they start to harass you. Also you were there when no people were there, there's always tons of people there taking photos and they say nothing

Thanks, this is where I have been going wrong with urban photography (can’t cope with people!). It’s obvious when you know the answer…

Just another proof that 35mm is the most versatile focal length.

❤❤❤

Europeans do the rest of the world a favor and get rid of dreadlocks in your communities. It’s an awful look on ya mates.

Build quality especially tge screen is terrible poor

It's the 35 for me, the biggest cue was I always felt like I was having to back up with a 50 or wasn't close enough with a 28. I suppose I could practice more with the other lenses and improve but 35 felt more natural and easier to compose with.

Number 5 👍

Cameras are small for people who want small cameras no? Portability, you want pro go xh2s

Sounds complicated. I'll stick to my M2 and HP5 with a Weston Meter

Got a "like new" Q2 for $3800 USD. At the price, it's somewhat justifiable (for a person without unlimited funds). It's a superb camera. I still use my XT cameras as my system cameras but the Q2 is so great on the streets. We're lucky to live in a time where there are no really bad cameras. I was tempted to get the Fuji x100VI but decided the Q2 was going to replace it on my Wish List.

Im suprised you'd not been before if your from Nuneaton. My dad used to take us out of school early to go as kids. Great photos though 👍

This has opened up a whole new world to me. Seeing your photos here, I just resonated with the ICM ones, then when you did a more traditional one it was ‘just another sunset’ and failed to capture the feeling you get viewing a sunset first hand, which I felt was miraculously conveyed with the ICM. Thank you.

Dude....analog or digital dies not matter . You alwats need to expose precisely. Use a Velvia or any slide ( as every pro did) and try to overexpose the highlights... 🧐

Leica omitted the back button focus because it does NOT matter. Started as a pro photographer 35 years ago....no camera has such feature and NO ONE gave AF. now it seems we NEED it? 🧐

Awesome info. I’d be lost without these videos. Much appreciated. 🙏🏼

F1.2 provides the same amount of light on both FF and APS-C. The photos on aps-c look like FF at 1.2.. the F2 lens you’d recommend does not provide this benefit for apsc shooters

The 16-80 has actually better bokeh than 18-55 and 16-55.

Is that the new 56mm wr or old one?

Thanks, great video. Couldn't agree more!

Which is the best choice camera did you can recommend.

Live mode on an Iphone is similar to the same feature on Olympus cameras which has been there for some years.

ive had the fuji gfx for years and absolutely love it. i do mostly landscapes and some street photography. i found it cumbersome to walk around with gfx as it was too conspicuous and heavy for street photography. so 2 years years ago i bought the q2 and i do love the image quality. one thing that has been a challenge is the highlights. it is so easy to blow the highlights. i've gotten some nice images out of the camera, but would like a longer focal length (50mm) which is what has drawn me to the xt5, do you think the image quality is comparable using primes to the q2?

love you videos.. Have you ever worked with the Fuji X70? The 28mm version of the X100

Excellent v ide o. I learnt a lot ❤

Very Valuable! - Thank You!

Love my old Q. But the focus throw is simply to short for zone focusing. Never understood why 2 meters and infinity are only a couple of mm apart on the focusing scale. It is practical useless.... On M lenses you often have 2, 3 and 5 meter settings before infinity. Even the Ricoh GR is easier and more precise to zone focus with.

Edit ruthlessly or have someone do that for you when you start out.

Looked like a fun day with those guys! Thanks for the share.

I chuckled at the part when you threw up "X100 MK2 with digital stabilsation pleeeeease Fuji" on the screen ... and now we have the X100VI... which is basically that with some additional pixels. Also, you mention the X100V having an ND8 ... I think the earlier cameras in the system did, and they jumped to an ND16 starting with the X100V.

A really good and useful insight into your focussing method. A bit disappointing to see some of the negative comments regarding manual focussing and your deliberations. Sure, anyone can nail focus with all the latest auto focus/detection/tracking but then who is taking the photo, you or the software engineer behind the processor ? For me a massive part of the enjoyment of photography is in the process of taking the photograph and enjoying the camera as much as the resultant image itself. And the enthusiasm you show in your videos for learning the craft always encourages me to get out and about with my own camera and try things out. So cheers Gareth, great video.

This looks like so much Fun .!!! xD

Not withstanding your excellent photographs, I love the camera 🤣📷👍

why are you not using the lens hood?!

If one has the money go with this nonsense! I use freaking old cameras, as I am now old! They lasted! Every 2~3 years a new fantastic wunderkind! Use anything! ps phones are better!

Incredible.

Just started playing around with street photography, my God its far more difficult than it looks. Where the bloody hell do you start?!!

Is it a hack or a technique ? Confusing title.

Mate, you're really making hard work of this. It always amazes me that people spend ten grand on equipment then override everything that 100 years of research and development has taught the engineers of camera companies.

APS-C to FF: I’ve been with Fuji for years. X-T1, X-pro2, now X-T5. I own all the newer LM fast lenses: 18, 33, 56, 90. I also own the classic primes: 23 and 35 f/2. It’s my kit. I shoot street 99%. I love warmth in my color photos and contrast bnw. The film recipes are a joy in the X-T5, I have the film types added in as profiles. I never used them in my X-pro2 days, it was always just raw then. Now maybe I’m just in a creative rut but I find I miss the simplicity and limitations of the days when I only owned the X-pro2 and my og 35mm f/2 (~50mm equiv.) Anyone else relate to me? I want to sell it all off and go full frame. I could get a digital Leica m so I can use my many M mount lenses (from film) OR get a Q and be forced to just use what I have for digital again. Likely Q2 Monochrom or Q1 for color and save some money to see how I like it. I’ve also never owned a full frame digital camera, only APS-C. I do shoot film still: 135/120.

Love your videos mate, but sometimes I think you need to relax a bit about your settings! 😊
