    Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure! What a difference it makes to have multiple shooters that allows you to splice in all kinds of different footage - it really ups the production value. That M11/50 combo is something special. I just got back from a trip overseas and used my Q2 90% of the time. I'm seriously considering selling a bunch of Sony gear to help fund an M11 purchase. Videos like this don't help!! 🤣🤣

    Thanks for the detailed comment. This kind of comment really makes my day! I started shooting Leica in 2022 and I love it. I’m almost exclusively Leica now, with Sony only for video (and that’s changing, too). The SL2S is mine, picked it up a couple of months ago. That’s becoming my video camera as I’m moving from Sony. I love it! But I’m anxiously awaiting the SL3.
