The Leica M11-P -- Thoughts and digressions on photography 

Excellent video! Loved the thoughts on film vs digital.

Really enjoying your calm and thoughtful videos! Thank you so much. Already excited for the next one :)

Months later, still watching this Video, trying to make that decision between M10-P and M11-P :-)

I must say I have really liked most of your well-weighted comments, not just on photography, film and digital cameras, AI and more in-depth comments about the nature of constraints (not just in photography), the future of photography and where it could lead us to. I am a Kriya Yoga and Tai Chi teacher, Wim Hof Method instructor and I love photography. Keep up what you are doing because it brings not just beauty but a lot of insight to whoever watches and listens carefully. Take care!

Very thoughtful insight into photography. Moral and financial dilemmas . I also have used film for most of my life and have struggled with the film process v the digital. At the end of the day I have decided to shoot film as a passion that makes me happy and shoot digital to get the job done, there is room for both.

I loved you trying to put a roll of film into the battery compartment. Would make a great spoof clip.🤣 Interesting content. Thank you.

Pretty calm, well balanced content, Jahan.

Very interesting thoughts! :)

Nice to hear your thoughts on this, I also struggle with thinking about the environmental footprint of film photography, but can't quite give up my 4x5 and 8x10 cameras yet. I do love photographing with my M9 though, it definitely feels more like a film camera than my Sony a7RII.

Great video. I immediately though the m10-d would be a great for you as it’s a very analog experience.

Nice insight man

I really would love to own an SLR but I still can't afford it, processing and printing is way too much for me to spend on

Great video, and beautiful photographs! I use old M lenses on my M10 (and film M) and love the way they look on digital. I don't think you need a separate set of modern lenses for a digital M. It's just a different look, with its own value.

I'd love to eventually see some kind of organic sensor which behaves more like film. I'm not sure it's even possible hahah.. but a least it may give some soul back to otherwise dull digital files.

Thanks for this video, really enjoyed your perspective on the M and photography as a whole. I wonder what your thoughts are on the monochrome versions of the digital M, refreshing or crazy? 🙂If you are interested, I also make videos on Leica camera and photography in general. If you have some feedback for me, I would highly appreciate it. Greetings, from Belgium

The startup time problem is not as big an issue on other brands. Leica has fallen behind in a few ways.

People can and should go on photographing with film without ever considering the ecological impacts.

I too am trying to make digital work, even my M9 doesn't feel film like to me and I wind up adding grain or blurring. In other words I feel like I'm violating the nature of my digital cameras.

When one goes too far to the point of being hypocritical. Your ecological point for not using film is beyond absurd. You know what, maybe it will be also good to not use electricity and soap and that is probably few million times worst than film. People shoot film because it looks like, well, shooting film. They want that result. If one doesn't want or need film, then digital is obvious solution. Babbling on youtube is just that, babbling....same as my comment. And digital Leica doesn't have any advantage except only to tickle somebody's ego...Film one is another story.

The romance of film. It's a lie! It is capricious, speed of film varies! The idea of one exposure is nonsensical. The after work, darkroom, that I loved, before there was a choice! Not ALL Digital cameras are fast asleep! Only Leica! Danger of high end, new digital boxes, is their cost! Ransom-ware a real threat! The Leica thing in P, will not help.. The cost of film. It was always expensive. Arnold Newman moved to 35mm as magazines, etc., refused to pay for his loved sheet film, in 80's! Simplicity and actual costs of Digital are there! There are better cameras! Sorry! I love my Film Leica but new models very few can afford. "My old lenses fit" a poor answer.. It's pay for film or move forward. I still shoot a little film, but mostly digital.

Ecological footprint of photography? What a lunacy. How about eColOgicAl foOtpRint of this video being rendered/uploaded/stored on power hungry servers and watched by hundreds of people in 4k rather that modest 720p which is more than enough for talking head format.
