I think Ansel Adams will produce Ansel Adams photographs no matter what camera you give him. You can technically use any camera to photograph anything. I don’t think there’s a genre of photography printed on any box for any camera or lens. Thank you for stopping by

You’ve basically given your bak account a death sentence when you decide to go for a Leica..

Many thanks

Thank you so much!! Yeah that is why I encourage people to try a monochrome before forming opinions. I did exactly that and I was wrong. People need to try the cameras if only for experiencing another tool in our craft. Thank you for stopping by

Thank you so much!!! I would go for the m11 mono if you have the lenses.. actually, just go for the m11 mono..

@@robbiesumantri I don't have the lenses. Q2 probably gonna.be it. I just was thinking.i might win the lotto for a sec. Lol

@@Kalama_Llama_King_Kong Still an awesome camera mate…

I think I did. You get an unfiltered sensor. The CFA cuts about one stop of light and takes away a lot of clarity and sharpness. Why a monochrome camera? No reason apart from the fact that they like it. The fact is, it’s a huge commitment to shoot nothing but monochrome and most people will choose a colour sensor for options. Only the niche within the niche will choose to shoot purely monochrome. As for a warehouse full of this camera collecting dust, not really. Monochrome cameras are probably the fastest selling cameras in the second hand market. So the real answer to why a monochrome camera? For most people, it’s simply “I like it at the moment.”

Hi, thanks for your thoughtful and comprehensive comment! I completely understand your points and agree that a dedicated monochrome camera is quite a niche product. The key difference with a monochrome camera is that it lacks a color filter array (CFA). A CFA is what allows a camera to capture color information by filtering light into red, green, and blue wavelengths. Without a CFA, each pixel on the monochrome sensor captures pure luminance data, resulting in higher resolution, sharper details, and better low-light performance. That said, it's true that the improvement in image quality might be subtle and not justify the high cost for everyone. It's a tool designed for a specific type of photography enthusiast who values those nuances in image quality and is willing to invest in it. It will never be the value for money nor the most versatile option. I encourage you to keep an open mind and try a monochrome camera if you ever get the chance. The experience might surprise you, and it's always interesting to explore different tools and techniques in photography. Thank you again for watching

Yeah leica price range is a bit ridiculous especially when we start talking about lenses and accessories. They do perform well, but we can’t deny they are also luxury products. Thank you so much for stopping by 🙏

@@robbiesumantri you’re welcome. Some great photos you took there 👍

Oooh the nikon sp is awesome. There are rumours flying around of a ZS.. sort of like a digital rangefinder. I don’t see it happening soon though unless they decide to make rangefinder lenses. Or use the current lenses but make it just look like a rangefinder. Thank you for stopping by

M11 is still my workhorse camera. I just wish they fixed the god damn magenta cast..

Thank you so much. Yes, they are some of the kindest people. 🙏🙏

Thx so much, there aren’t any here yet and I’m way too small to receive a review unit from leica… I’ll do a video on it as soon as possible

I really think that is the way to go. You only buy a monochrome camera if you can make the commitment to shoot purely black a white. And a huge commitment when we’re talking about leicas. Thank you for stopping by sir

If it’s value for money you’re looking for, I don’t think we’ll ever find it in any leica. I think you can get a lot of very good setups with 6 grand. Or a leica.. Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it

I’ll see if I can get my hands on one.. Should be doable. Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it 🙏🙏

I’m quite sure most of the owners of the camera are hobbyists. It’s a luxury product.

Ahh will do that next time… I keep forgetting to do that.. thank you for stopping by 🙏🙏

Thank you kind sir 🙏🙏

Yeah I’m torn between the cameras. But, I would probably end up with an M11m at some point because I can share batteries with the m11. Thank you for stopping by

You make a great point about the trade-offs with high ISO and the flexibility of editing color photos. The Leica Q2 Monochrome is definitely a niche camera, and it's true that it's designed for a specific audience and people who choose this camera know exactly what they want. Personally, I would also only consider it if I already had a camera with a color sensor. Having tried the camera, I think I understand both sides of the argument.

I respectfully disagree. The latest versions of Lightroom, Photoshop and other software use AI to select sky and objects. AI selections can be refined by intersecting the object selection with luminosity. Refinements can be made using the brush and other tools.

Yes, I’m very aware of the capabilities of editing. I predominantly shoot colour photos myself. I assume that David’s point is the availability to be able to export the photos in either colour or monochrome would be worth more than what a monochrome camera offers. I put forward that the ideal situation would be to have both cameras and I think the conversation of value for money is not really relevant when we’re talking about leicas in general.

@@bensilverman3837 okay lets look at grass, whats easier, adjusting the brightness levels of greens, or selecting the grass with masks? What if I want just the yellow parts of the grass to be brighter to emphasis that it was golden hour? Being able to edit your contrast, and brightness levels based off color data is a way more efficient workflow and also allows you the flexibility of better results. Masks are not a replacement for color brightness adjustments, they are supplemental. then throw on top of that the ability to export in color or black and white and you are just punishing yourself when it comes to workflow and flexibility. That punishment isnt worth the extra sharpness or ISO performance in my book. If you don't edit the exposures or dodge/burn your photos as much then your opinion may vary.

@DavidVRUclips Ultimately, I think it boils down to the photographer's workflow and personal preference. If someone values the highest possible image quality and enjoys working within the constraints of a monochrome sensor, that trade-off might be worth it for them. For others, the flexibility and ease of use of a color sensor will make more sense. Both approaches have their merits, and it's great that we have the option to choose based on our individual needs and artistic goals.

Something that needs to be tried to be understood.

@@robbiesumantri boleh ikut nyobain bro., pengin tau feel nya seperti apa...

Joel has 1 available but these things go out quickly

@@robbiesumantri wow... Sudah dikembalikan kah....? Lokasi dimana mas bro robbie....?

Sudah, lokasi di Jakarta.

Congratulations if you can do the same thing.

Voigtlanders are awesome. Some of the best performing lenses available on the market. The ultron is very sharp but gives up a bit of micro contrast so the images are comparatively flat. Lack of depth and 3d pop compared to the leica cron. But, it’s nitpicking and cutting it close.

Thank you so much for the info, it makes sense in a twisted way 🤣🤣

No it doesn’t but it does certainly feel like so and I’m not the only one saying that it feels off..

Really appreciate it. Thank you so much 🙏🙏

Hi, the market videos are shot with a dji osmo pocket 3. Thank you for watching

Thank you so much

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

Ohhh… my mind is blown with the whole finger thing. Thank you for pointing that out (pun absolutely intended) Cheers for stopping by, enjoy your camera mate. It’s amazing

Oh yeah… might do a video on that… thanks for the idea

@@robbiesumantri absolutely! Will be great to see it!

@@Anatol19066 I have the lens in my bag… Will start to really give it a go

@@robbiesumantri subscribed!!

Thank you 🙏🙏

I am not going to risk a comment that might get me cancelled 🤣🤣

It’s so difficult to use though!!!!

Thank you so much for the sub 🙏🙏

Thank you for your kind words, the strap i’m using is the whip strap from barton 1972

That is what I heard too. But, is it worth upgrading to the v2? Or even buying the v2 with many cheaper v1 available in the market. Thank you for watching

@@robbiesumantri probably not worth it lol, I believe the difference is just minimal

I have a silver asph 28 cron v1 in my hands now. Hoping for the f2 cron look..

@@robbiesumantri that`s great waiting for your next video update 😁

Cheers mate.. I’m currently right on it

Dammit I just realised I left out saying “asph” v1. Thank you for pointing it out

Thank you for stopping by

Import the dng to lightroom.. It should have the settings

Thx for stopping by… I’ll consider doing that 🙏🙏

At least it doesn’t sound like elevator music in a W Hotel the way every other photography video soundtrack does.

Thank you so much!!! Which one do you have? The rigid? Or the older one?

@@robbiesumantri Robbie, I have the V2 rigid version, just purchased it a couple of months ago. It's a thing of beauty, the black paint with brassing finish.

@@ronaldjohnston7989 ahh i have the older one.. quite interested in how much the newer one is different from the older one

@@robbiesumantri Well, your guess is as good as mine (LOL). Actually mine is definitely the newer version but not certain it's "rigid" from the photos. Mine has the rabbit ears for focusing, if that helps. I've not really used it except to test it since purchse, no free time...ugh.

@@ronaldjohnston7989 ahh we have the same lens then 🙌🙌🙌

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Leicas are definitely built very well..

I like their lenses 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ And I mentioned the difference compared to the M7 later in the video..

@@robbiesumantri yes but your statement of MP having the best elements from M3 to M7 is not true is it? The design is based off two models only. Skipping what was the highlights of the models in between.

You’re right, they didn’t include a lot of features from a lot of cameras especially from the M7. I think leica was working on a fully mechanical camera instead of adding in electronic features from the M7. M5 had the first lightmeter, took some designs from the m3, m2, m4 and definitely the m6. But yes, it is sort of a more refined version of the m6.. thank you for stopping by

@@robbiesumantri o what features did MP have from M2, M4? I think as a youtuber imparting useful information is important and as your viewer I love to learn from various sources so let's be specific. So far my understanding is the creation of MP came from the belief that M3 is being hailed as the best RF (despite many versions of M6) and Leica didnt want to recreate one that could tarnish the reputation so they decided to make MP which is exactly based on M3 anatomy. They added the TTL from M6 to stay relevant and chose 0.72 to allow 35mm lenses be used without goggle and fixed the flare issues with view finder. Elements from M2, M4 were not in the narrative so I am keen to hear what is added and the sources behind. Await your reply with thanks.

@@Reddotshutter well, I understand that these are also included in the M6 but, framelines for 35 originated from the M2. With the 28 and 75 from the m4. I know it’s sounding very trivial but those things originated from said cameras. It’s a culmination of various features. The later cameras were “improvements” from older cameras and a lot of the best mechanical features wound up in the MP & MA

Oiiii sssshhhh… Hipster trend thing.. You wouldn’t understand.. 🤣🤣
