2 weeks in CapeTown... 99% Campsbay 😂 what a pretentious video

Different cameras for different purposes. The Leica is great for street and I have had very little issue with shooting portraits. I use Portra 160 or Portra 400 with a ND filter if needed. I also have the Hasselblad 500 C/M and had the RB67 Pro S, with all these systems there is a trade off, one has to work with the limitations.

Two words: boo hoo

Love the way you explained your thoughts and how to Focus and get wonderful results out of a non controlable environment. That really shows how that you are a great photographer.

Loved the video! What's the font called that you used?

Wow, what a beautiful video! As someone who lives in Lake Garda, I can say you've captured its essence perfectly. I especially love the shots from Punta San Vigilio - they're breathtaking! As a fellow film photographer, I really appreciate your insights on dealing with creative limitations. I've been facing similar challenges, so hearing your tips was both helpful and motivating. Thank you for this great video - it's inspired me! Also cannot wait to see your photos from Tuscany!

I wanted to add to you, I'm shooting only film (so far) and I am afraid of repeating myself, very rarely I do any backs for the shots, I always move on knowing that I have only 36 shots. And moreover, I have this thought 'oh, it's a simple image, mundane, let's not take it' and it leads to constant search of the 'golden shot' and thus many opportunities lost. You make me feel more confident with taking photos and working with camera

Bom de maiss !!! <3

Keep it up, my man! Qaulity content!

Yes! :) erster :D Schönes Ding wie immer Tobi!

Of course an m6 isn’t the best tool for commercial work in 2024 lol. It’s a 40 year old camera. Ppl are getting back in to analog to slow down. If I was on a paid job I’d use the best too for the job and M’s aint it!

How did you 'solve' the focus issue with fluid shooting style? I've shot models 10+ yrs with a lot of motion both on subject and myself, using SLRs and constantly focusing manually while moving, as it's what you see is what you get - it allows one to fully focus on the moment. Key reason why I'm still not on m system is the 'focus and recompose' requirement - any tips?

That really great! Thanks for making that video I discovered some new artists to explore. Looking forward to more.

Lanzarote i such a cool island to shoot! Great to see how you use the black and whites of the island! Great video!

wunderschön!

Aesthetics Masterclass!!

lieb das colorgraing von dem video! hast du dafür ein bestimmtes LUT verwendet? :)

Dein stärkstes Video bisher und wunderschöne Fotos. Danke für die 21 Minuten, hat sich sehr gelohnt ❤ Die Fotos sind wirklich herausragend gut!

So schönes Video und natürlich so schöne Fotos. Vielen dank fürs teilen

Super cool to see how you catch this vibe on film! Mallorca seems like a place I should visit soon too! Keep up the awesome videos!

So schön zu sehen, wie du in jedem Moment die Magie einfängst ✨😭♥️

The Z2X was one of my first point and shoots, and ever since I sold it, I've missed the infinity lock function. Such a great feature, and for some reason, so rare.

Why spend $7K on a camera? There’s SO many options.

love love love it! this video reminds me about my own creative shootings this summer. I wish to continue summer for these colours! thank you for uploading video. love it till the end

It is all so inspirational / just want to be there in this vive. The combination of vid and pics which is perfect and it is so one thing. Love it :-)

absolutely love it bro

ihr beide ! <3 Toll !

thank you Tobias🙏🏼 your vision help to understand how I have to be mentally calm to see things and not think about gear.its just instrument

The movie is bts is still with an iPhone ?

Então quer dizer que você é o chefão final do uno ? kkkkkkkk. Fico pensando como ficam as marcas quando você envia as fotos, para mim é simplesmente impossível escolher um momento ``favorito´´ . É com se você enxergasse os detalhes de cada locação e conseguisse transmitir a vibe nas fotos de uma fora muito certeira, na real eu não sei nem explicar.... kkkk !! Acho que esse está entre um dos meus vídeos favoritos, as cores, o local, está tudo bom de mais !

Had to stop the video. The background music was too loud and distracting.

Great shots and beautiful video !

Did you remember how much film did you use for this type of trip ? And where did you dev & scan your film ? Always loving your work ❤

Great photos as always bro!

Wie immer ein sehr schönes Video

i dont think ive ever, in all my years of taking film photos (since 2017), heard of someone's first camera being a leica let alone a leice m6. so lucky and fortunate to enter analog photography with one of the best (if not the best) machines avaliable. im also happy for you - you have not oy honoured your growth but found grounding in it. that is something to really celebrate :)

You're right, photography is on our taste, thank you for sharing your opinion.

Great video man!

Love this video man! Where do you develop and scan you film btw? :)

theeeere he goes <3

Você se tornou um dos meus fotógrafos favoritos... Não só pelas fotos e qualidade do conteúdo ( que são incríveis ). Mas por mensagens como essas, compartilhar seu conhecimento e nos despertar para glumas coisas... Já faz um tempo que vejo que meu trabalho está literalmente só `` instagram ´´ Não tem uma mensagem ou algo mais profundo, e queria muito mudar isso, e agora eu sei como.... Muito obrigado mano, aprecio de mais o seu trabalho !!

the video should be "The Truth about prime lens", "The Truth about fully manual camera" & "The Truth about film photography". Most of them are not quite related to Leica, indeed

So much quality and humanity in these well spoken words. Meine tiefste Dankbarkeit dafür, Tobi! 🙏🏼

thank you brother

Very cool video!!

awesome words my friend, big hugs and thanks a lot for reminding me of this :)

I also freed myself from the Leica M3, sold, and the Nikon F2, collecting dust, but I`m enslaved to the Leica MD262...!

I love this! Thanks for all the tips, specially the one where you can have a bad day and not deliver a great work every single time ❤️🙏 I needed to hear that

Thanks for the insight. How I wish I had had someone constructively yet as surgically brutal on my work as the instructor you encountered. Kind of reinforces the idea that we are what we consume. This resonates deeply with something I read from Fernando Pessoa earlier this week: "I am the size of what I see." For me, it suggests that our growth, understanding, and identity are shaped by the scope of our perception. The more we see, experience, and engage with, the more expansive and profound we become-even the art we create reflects this. I see it as a challenge to continuously broaden my horizons, literally and figuratively, by seeking fresh perspectives, new ideas, and transformative experiences.

My journey from film to digital, Leica M3, Nikon F2 to a Leica MD262 keeps me slowing down still! The MD262 has no screen neither does the film cameras. I loved shooting film but the rising costs and time to develop (too slow), put the MD262 as my main camera today. I`m content and not worried about never shooting film again...!
