Pete was the first photographer I followed on Instagram and KZread when I started this journey 5 years ago. Now I've built a side hustle where photography is key, met amazing people, shot international bands and this is just the beginning. I don't know if he'll see this but thanks for inspiring me to commit to a hobby and make it into a passion.

​@@oliscurra hey mate, it might sound cliche but I just really enjoy the process. Planning, shooting, editing, and helping people grow their business... It just excites me and gives me a chance to be creative outside my regular office job. The first time I booked a 5 figure contract flipped a switch and made me realise it wasn't just a hobby anymore.

I was a photographer in the late 1960s and 1970s. In those days, Leicas were more expensive than the competing cameras but only about 25 to 50 percent. I still have a price list from a store where I worked: Nikon F with lens - $388. Leica M3 with lens $513. So Leicas were expensive but not prohibitive. And you could always find lightly used ones for much less. I used film Leicas for years, without feeling either robbed, or ashamed to be seen with one. Today they have a kind of Poseur aura about them. "I have a Leica, so I'm a real photographer. And rich." Over the years, Nikon and Canon prices have increased with inflation, but Leicas have increased as "Veblen goods," where demand increases as the price increases. So now, if a Nikon is $2000, a Leica is $8000. Or even more for multiple "Special Editions." And the lens prices are worse. Leicas are very very good, but 4 or 5 times as good as a Nikon?? Measured by results? Nah.

When your a professional photographer, you are looking for new methods...new ways to express your work. Leica's are legendary for connecting the artist to the photos through a more deliberate process...especially in the M series of cameras

jesus how much promotion can you cram into one video? barely talked about the leica at all

One reason why Leica cameras are generally more expensive (apart from the branding) is because they are traditionally handmade and extensively tested in Germany and not Vietnam or China. This also leads to a limited amount of cameras that can be bought.

Totally agree with you, and there are more reasons why Leica is so expensive and worth it.

There's a joy that felt lost during the pandemic in doing the videos, I think Peter being an outdoor person was missing out and you could tell by hte videos, good to see that that feel is back in the videos.

You should put a progression bar on those ads to know where to skip them

I’m into my 6th decade of shooting, and I’ve used or had most systems. I’ve owned Leica cameras for about 25 years now including film and digital full-frame and medium format. I’ve got bin after bin filled with photos shot with Japanese cameras, some of which I love. But then there’s Leica with the build quality, ease of use, and superior glass. I really like shooting my S glass on my SL system as it gives it a nice pop and rendering. I also like shooting Hasselblad glass on my S. My most recent Leica purchase was a 120mm 5.6 tilt shift. I was shooting a few shots in Charleston yesterday with good results.

Can we take some time to appreciate the dope leather jacket Peter has on. The color alone just pops.

@zerovisdiver

Almost the same experience for me, except that after trying a Q2 out, I sold all my Sony gear and the Q2 to fund a Leica M with a single 50mm Summicron. I used to take thousands of photos with my other cameras that I don't even bother looking at afterwards because all it took was press a button. Now I only have about a hundred photo taken a year. But all are deliberately taken and I love them.

Been shooting canon for over 10 years. Just got a X100V and haven’t touched my full set up since. The convenience, and still being able to get insane results (some that I like even better) is a no brainer. That being said I do understand the ease of use factor isn’t there for high pressure shooting.

Anyone else feel like Pete's living out his inner Arthur Morgan (from Red Dead Redemption 2) in this video with those fits? Dude looks amazing in those jackets holy shit!! Amazing video as always!!

Do you write your scrips or just adlib? Whatever you do it is so good! So good you almost convinced me to get a Insta 360 X3...

Paused the video just to say, the sound affects you made about the sawing of the vents, *chefs kiss*.

Great video, I'd love to get my hands on a Leica someday. My current price point is whatever film camera I can find at a thrift store for under $20 lol, which is also very fun!

Cool video and great pics 👍🏻 At the end of the video PM is scrolling thru some raw Photos, are you LrC or LR? Which would you recommend? Thinking of switching back from CaptureOne.😊

Great video, actually watched it a second time :D though, never got to see the finished camera strap in it's full glory.

Love your content! I’ve been shooting on and off for years and haven’t found the spark that really gets me going again. But I recently came across a Leica Q for about 1800$ I think that will bring me back to the love of photography again! Time to move the feets instead of the lense again.

Love the honest opinion of this camera, Pete. Great video, great audio, keep up the great work!

This is my favorite PM vid in a while. Maybe it's a combination of the aesthetic and sound design or most probably the curiosity and passion you have to try something different (camera-wise).

Q2 is mega, did have one put the slightest pro mist filter on and really really brilliant. Then got interested and wondering about the SL2S as really was after 35mm focal length. So sold Q2 for the SL2S and put a voigtlander manual lens on that’s that. Definitely miss the Q2 was as you say a lot smaller package. Think was not a good idea but it’s done now over a 2 years ago, actually really miss that was a brilliant camera.

There are always more affordable ways to get into some Leica system. That‘s especially true with the L-mount and the flexibility of using Sigma or really any glass. I‘m using a CL which is APS-C but gives me most things I want from a camera. Some film shooters even get into the old R line. So not all prices are sky high.

Killed it with this video, great visuals, sound, everything!! It “slaps.”

Great vid Pete! The SL2s didn’t really replace the SL2. Main differences are the SL2 has 47mp vs the 24mp on the SL2s….the SL2s has better video specs mainly because of the 24mp sensor. Killer jackets, killer shots…hope to see the strap he made you soon.

The fixed lens just feels so intimidating for me. I mostly do Portrait and more travel tpe of photography when I bounce around.

Have you tried using M lenses on the SL2-S?

I use a R6 and absolutely love it. My daily and primary driver. I've went down the Leica rabbit hole and dove into the history of this camera system. And in my curiosity, I started to figure out on how can I get my hands on one since I live in Northwest BC where there are no camera shops. So I decided to take a risk and I purchased a Leica D-Lux 7. When I received it, I got a shot of buyers remorse but returning it was not an option. So, I dove into it...What a fun little camera. The construction is solid and feels good in the hands. It does have a bunch of quirks the the pics I have been able to get out of it has been fantastic. Doing side by side comparisons with my R6 has been educational and awakening. I can just imagine what a Q2 or the SL2 could do. Thanks for the video Peter!

came from the Q2 and actually loved the manual experience so much I struggled with other camera brands and the leica sl2s. that manual experience and the quality is simply why you buy leica. hence the reason why the leica M is such a favorite to a lot of ppl. I ended up with the Leica d-lux 7 for the go. zoom lense. micro four thirds sensor and even video ( which looks good but I wished you could put a mic on it) and of course its overprized. and you pay for the brand. but you also pay for so much more on the leica which is why people stick to them despite the price tag.

How are these videos so good. So smooth.
