I tried that with some test shots at 18,36 and 60 Megapixel. And for me it would not make sense to shoot 60 to downsize it in post to 36 for less grain. I think it looked pretty the same. There is a video on UA-cam where the differences are shown, I just can not find it right now. The fazit was that you loose a bit of dynamic range if you a lower resolution. But I was not able to reproduce that, but I didn't try this specifically. My test is more about handling and feeling.

If I remember right, I focused at 5 Meter. But I tried it also with the 21mm in a recent shoot (hot air balloons, will post it soon) and had the same thing happening when I focused somewhere in the middle. But honestly I don't think anybody would see that in a print. It's just for pixelpeepers.

@@rogeryoung3587 thanks a lot! My Leica lenses have no 6 bit coding, that’s why I don’t see what lens I used in Lightroom. I started to paint the encoding on the lenses by myself, but it does not always work.

@@mhaustria Then it's time to install the LensTagger Exiftool Lightroom Plugin, which allows you to insert EXIF metadata into your images for those manual lenses.

Ein wenig Werterhaltung schadet nicht und mir hat der Titanlook schon immer gefallen. Die Haptik ist immer noch gut, da sich die Oberflächen metallisch anfühlen

Ich hatte bis jetzt noch kein Problem bei der M2. Sie werden natürlich immer nur so hell wie auch das Umgebungslicht ist. Da ist natürlich die M11 im Vorteil, aber wenn es mal so richtig dunkel ist, dann wird es auch mit dem Fokussieren eher schwierig. Ich such mir dann immer eine harte Kannte zwischen hell und dunkel.

@@mhaustria Super,danke für deine schnelle Antwort!

Leica still builds three different analog M models. If you would have watched to the end, you would have seen that I like both a lot and both have their advantages. For my point of view, sometimes grain can add space for interpretation. A totally clean image is a finished product. It's a bit like reading a book and not watching the movie. Give it a try.

@mhaustria I don't and will not agree to your viewpoint on grain. Grain was a shortcoming of analog photography and manufacturers tried their best to get rid if it as much as possible. It's like using 24p for " cinematic" look. It emulated a look that we had to use at the time but it's in no aspect better than what we can use today. It's just nostalgia. But hey, if it makes you happy, go ahead 🙂 I have used plenty of analog film and enjoyed it then but have started in the late 90s with digital and finally completely switched over. It's just so much better. I still love to hold my old analog cameras in my hands...for purely nostalgic reasons 😉

@@ngakg304 thanks you so much - it’s called Keks light meeter.

@@mhaustria Thank you Markus! Keep up the good work!

@@ngakg304 very welcome

It's the keks light meter. Made of aluminum. Otherwise I use the good old Seconic L758

That's why I made this video, I was looking for a comparison like that. They are hard to compare and as said in the video, there are tasks were the M2 us the better tool and there are tasks where the m11 has an advantage. It's like when I am in my studio, I prefer my 8x10 wet plate camera.

who said it will be a fair comparison? ;)

@@MelodyPetrasMelsAlt.Images thank you so much! Sometimes I think and plan the light setup several weeks before the portrait session.

@@mhaustria That's a great idea. haha especially if the customer has no ideas and that way you can move quickly through enough and not have much awkward debate time inbetween trying to figure out a cool shot.

@@MelodyPetrasMelsAlt.Images I am always prepared and have have an exact idea in my mind how I want to do the portrait. It hast mostly to do with the story of my sitter and what story I want to tell.

@@SinaFarhat thank you 🙏

@@fbraakman I can relate to that. But I am not fully convinced from the m11 so far. A great camera but not as easy to handle as the m2. How do you do with the m10 monochrome? How are you doing with focusing for example? I was thinking about the monochrome as well, but got a great deal on the m11

@@mhaustria Using the optical viewfinder I feel very confident getting the focus. I don't trust the screen. However for lower shutter speeds I may use a tripod with the shutter cable, but I don't use it that often. I feel pretty confident getting the focus, since I can shoot at higher ISO with the monochrome, not getting much noise, if any at all.

@@tisme good question, I would say they do less.

@@leitwolf70 so nahe? Wusste ich nicht

@@user-mb4qx2xe1g thank you! Yes, I like that one also a lot.

@@Wasp9513 mostly Summilux 35mm

@@leitwolf70 thanks a lot. I try to bring new perspectives to places I know for ages.

My story is a bit differently about the swans. I did a reportage of a swans family after I followed them for two years. Now I have a deeper connections with these birds. They started to sleep in fron of me because they trusted me so much. Have a look at this video, where I captured them with my large format camera: ua-cam.com/video/tS7Eb-vT-Fk/v-deo.htmlsi=pgpwFIrKBETHSs8Q

@@mhaustria You win, my Dad never had a relationship with the birds, but his father kept birds, so I guess there is a deeper connection.

@@SinaFarhat thank you 🙏

@@jamescoleman24 Thanks a lot! I do every day

Thank you so much!! I will go on to show you guys what I will capture with it.

@@ulyssesnathanialowen3831 thanks a lot. That’s actually a great question! Maybe there are many of us out there! Where did you get yours?

I bought mine from another guy not far from where I live in london …since added a summarit collapsible 50 f2 , summaron 35mm f2.8 and a Elmar collapsible 90mm f4

@@ulyssesnathanialowen3831 nice combination. Did you compare the 4.0 and 2.8 sizewise?

@@mhaustria yes i did , i really wanted to prioritise weight and size over an additional stop of light, hence the choice of collapsible models, the f4 is sharp enough for me and surprisingly a very good lens, not considered enough by most people.. to have in your bag as a walk around option i cannot think of a better lens ..

@@ulyssesnathanialowen3831 i wanted to use it for concerts as well, that’s why I went for the 2.8

Very welcome! It always puts a smile on my face when I think about his stories. Will you post the Kodachrome slides somewhere?

It's kind of hard going there and not buying something :) Danke, schöne Grüße zurück!

@@anils.rkumar6551 thank you so much! There is more to come from there.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'll take it out today again.

@@donjagoe it was like I hear angel sounds when I unwrapped it back then.

@@mhaustria -true! I was so excited too.

@@donjagoe these days the cameras are amazing supercomputers that make it hard to miss a shot. For me it takes away a bit of excitement

@@mhaustria totally agree-that’s why I sold a very extensive Canon kit-all of it-and bought a Leica M 10-R, which I love.

thank you. I digitised the first negatives with it and they turned out quite good. But my Screen Cezanne ( ua-cam.com/video/Oi3Tef3zZPE/v-deo.html ) gets so much more out of every negative, but it takes also so much more time to scan them :)

Thanks a lot! I guess your joy is still present today.

Vielen Dank für den netten und ausführlichen Kommentar. Ja mir ging es sehr ähnlich. Ich habe für meine typischen Porträtarbeiten immer noch meine 5D mkIII un IV Canon Kameras mit sämtlichen Glas dazu. Zusätzlich noch zwei analoge Canons EOS 3 und 5. Und viele weitere analoge (Mamiy 645 usw). Am liebsten Arbeite ich natürlich mit meiner 8x10 und einer Linhof Technika, nur kann man die halt nicht so einfach überallhin mitnehmen. Deshalb war die Idee geboren, mir etwas für jeden Tag zu gönnen. Ich habe viele tolle Kameras ausprobieren dürfen. Die Fuji Mittelformat war auch in der näheren Auswahl, da diese wirklich klein und toll ist. Aber am Ende habe ich mich bei der Leica am "wohlsten" gefühlt. Gut wars, dass ich noch gewartet habe. Vielleicht bekommt die M2 ja noch irgendwann eine digitale Schwester...

No need for a camera to enjoy pictures and there are many images I enjoy that didn't come out from a camera. I can loose myself sometimes in images..

Very welcome and thank you for your nice comment. Enjoy the Zorki!

@@jz8638 thank you so much! I feel blessed to use it every day. Just took it for another long walk.

Totally agree M with 35 and 50 summilux lenses is zen. I've spent so much time and money exploring other camera systems, film and digital Ms, many focal lengths, lenses of different speed and characteristics. At the end of all this, a Leica MP with a summilux 35 and 50 pair is what you will pry out of my cold dead hands.

@@donald5378 I have one more that I learned to love. The Elmarit 21mm. I wanted to go wider, but didn't find anything small and fast enough. So out of curiosity I bought a used one. I just thought, that I sell it again if I don't like it. But now I love it. It's so nice to just stand in the middle of the street and wait that a scene in front of you builds up. It's wide and small enough that people don't think that they are in the frame. And capturing people where close to the lens gives you a feel of intimacy. Otherwise the 35mm is my go to lens.
