Thanks for the review. I love the way you edit the photos of your m10

Great vid as always. I shot Leica Ms for 12+ years before making a switch to the Q2/SL2 in 2020. I use the q2 as my everyday carry but watching you with the m10 makes me miss the beauty of that setup. I’m considering a new non APO 35 summicron SL. Apparently much lighter than the other SL lenses. May still not be light enough for an everyday carry but anxious to try it. Beautiful images btw. Be well!

Those shots of your baby (assuming) are magic. That SL2-S look just seems made for you and your work. Thanks for taking the time and sharing the insight.

Lovely talk. I own the SL2-s and the M240 but am planning on getting the M10 and use the M240 as backup/travelling camera. Great shots too man! Much appreciated.

M10 will be a great addition!

I've been getting the itch for a M10/M11 Monochrome. Totally agree with you on the SL lenses. My 50APO is like lugging around a brick all day. Tempted to part ways.

Excellent take on the SL2 vs SL2S vs M bodies. I have the M10R as my EDC and SL2 (with Sigma 35mm f2 DG DN) when I need AF. I enjoy using both camera bodies, but the M10R is super special. I do not shoot video anymore just pics. Cheers

I love my SL2s and agree with your take on it. I've not had the pleasure of anything newer than my old 240 though.

I’ve heard the 240’s are great

Awesome video Lukas! I sold my sl2s and 24-70mm because the setup was too big and obtrusive, and thought that I could just have my m10p as the only digital camera I need. But I really miss the sl2s - weather sealing, low light, focus peaking when difficult to see the RF in low light, and video which I hope to start doing. I definitely see a great benefit in having both... sl2s with M lenses is so nice and much more manageable for EDC. I think you just convinced me I should rebuy the sl2s or SL2. Curious, what's the max 'usable' iso on the SL2 in your experience? I don't mind a bit of grain, but the extra resolution may be nice to have since I already have 24MP on m10p. Cheers!

Another great video, 5:48 Would you make a daily carrier with your R mount glass if you didn’t have the M glass option?

Forgot to add, With your SL2S +R glass as your daily carrier

My everyday camera is an SL2s and SL90mmF2 APO. I just love the rendering, low light capability and sharpness. I also have a Fuji xt2 with several lenses, but 99% of the time, I reach for the SL2s.

That 90mm APO looks awesome, would love to try one out some day!

Recently sold my SL2-S for the M10. In almost every way the SL2-S is better, but the M10 is smaller and a better experience. So as an EDC I prefer the M10, but wish I could afford to keep the SL2-S for situations where I'm using extremely fast glass or in very low light. It's all about the trade-offs!

Exactly! Sl2s is the better camera but the m10 has some intangibles that make it perfect for an everyday carry for le

Great video. I have the same M10R + recently added SL2S. So far very happy with the SL2S, feels like a more modern camera and i can use it for both video and photo during the same shoot. One thing I miss during shooting a model is that you loose a split second of eye contact with the talent after every shot, while with the M you just keep looking through the open viewfinder. Need to find something to solve that. I try to learn shooting with both eyes open now. Maybe someone else has a golden solution, would love to hear

Hi Lukas.. I have an MP and an SL2 and I use both.

M11 mono as my EDC and SL2s with m lenses as my if I have an itch for color lol. Curious to know what M lenses are you using for your set up? Thanks for the content bro

How do you make those flashing yellow framing video effects?

I really enjoyed your video. Your attitude towards gear, and your relaxed mood and talk really fits well with your content. All the best from Norway.

Thanks, great video. I have a M10 and M6 and has been thinking about the SL2S. One off topic question came into my mind. How do you handle your film while traveling. I am super stressed about the Airport Security Scanners.

Ask for hand inspection. The new scanners can ruin any film speed.

you mentioned about the sensor - do you prefer the output from the sl2s or the m10? Obviously if its low light SL2s will be able to capture more, but what about normal or ideal conditions?

I have to say I prefer the sl2s, both are great but I really enjoy the sl2s for its flexibility. But there is something really special about the m10

I wish I had all money. If I did a SL2-S reporter, Q2 Reporter Mono, M10P reporter and an M11 would be mine. Lucas, I got a Q2 and I love it would love to dive deeper into Leica which system should I logically step into next? The M or the SL? Video isn’t the priority, I have a camera for that.

So, on a free davinci, can I process a log footage from an SL2-s ? Do you have a tutorial how to edit a log? I thought it’s just changing the file, turns out, there’s more

I feel fortunate the M series is perfect for what I do, because it's a very, very satisfying camera to use. Totally get that it's 100% wrong for many shooters though.

I have an M10 silver and got the oportunity to try an SL2 for a few days for a potential switch with a guy. I had it with my Voigtlander 35mm f.2. Everything on the SL2 is better on paper. But I only shoot still and couldn't leave my M10 for the SL2. It's big, heavy, hate the white LEICA text on the front, to buzzy menues, no manual settings at all, had to turn on the camera to see the settings, the OVF kills the EVF every day, manual focus lenses are way better with the rangefinder system compared to focus peaking. The list goes long. As I said, the SL2 are better in almost any way, but not for me. :)
