Good pics, enjoyed the narrative. The older cameras are less clinically slick, and I like the look. Good eye for interesting compositions, too. Did you do 250 or 500 for shutter speed? All your movements seem sharp, which is cool.

If you want to enjoy street photography Get a DSLR with A CCD sensor like the Nikon D70 and get with it a cheap 50 mm You will be surprised with the results from that camera with its CCD sensor I know it’s somehow a big camera compared to that Olympus but it’s worth the try …

Nice shots! I definitely prefer the commentary on the video.

How did you overcome the light meter batteries "issue" ?

La Leica M5 es perfecta, un visor luminoso, fotómetro preciso y el dial de velocidad fácil de localizar sin quitar la mirada de la escena.

Another Leica fairytale. Everywhere I go it is another Leica fairytale.

I had one but the meter was completely unreliable (like -/+ 2 stops at least, way less reliable than my sunny 16 skills) and it’s hardly impossible to get them fixed, so I ended up selling it and bought an M2, which I like a little more design wise and it has no meter at all to fool me. I think that the meter is the main drawback of this cameras.

COST. Sure. Every photographer older than 30 wishes for a Leica. We all used to want a Hasselblad. Then, We grew up and got over it.

You mention not being able to use certain lenses and I don’t quite understand. Why can’t you use all the m mount lens options on an M5?

I have run about 4 or 5 rolls through my new M5 and I also love it

50% missed focus with a Canon AE1? My first “real” camera was an AE1 about 45 years ago. I can’t imagine missing focus 50% of the time with that camera. Certainly not my experience even as a total newbie to photography.

I've owned and tried many Leica and the one I kept was the M5, its definitely my absolute favorite camera, im thinking of getting a second one as a back up

I honestly feel like if this camera was a bit thinner, and had a red dot, it would be the best designed Leica lol. The purists hated it, but everything is so well thought out, design wise lol.

I have a few Leica film cameras, M5 is still the most practical & affordable one , I bought it to over 10 countries, never disappointed me,

Great to have you back! Looking forward to all the new and upcoming videos!

Hope you're doing well!

I love my M5, it took me a while to find a strap that i liked. I landed on the domke gripper 1.5, works beautifully and is very comfy.

Really good system, amazing photos, really good software!!! Thanks for the tutorial!!

Nice photos shot . Love the M5 my favourite film camera . To me the M5 better than M6 and M7 .

hello Ethan o/ Cheers from Poland. I like m5. I own m4 but still m5 is good looking for me ;3

OMFG Why are you attacking me??

Nice video but photo heh not so cool. In my opinion you could at liest crop those.

I absolutely love Black and White and looking at getting a Leica M5 . So so nervous about the purchase. I don’t shoot film that much. I am wanting to shoot it more . This is “bad” motivation for the G.A.S. Thanks for such a nice video. I like how you also critique you photos as I do .

What was the classic car at the beginning? an old Saab? cool af man! side note I'm from Liverpool UK and a street photographer but work for Cascade in the day job and our head office is in Portland, spooky this vid popped up 😂 great vid and cheers 🎉

bro said budget

For anyone this video motivates to assemble a rig like this one, please note that a 50mm 1.4 lens designed for full frame 35mm photography is probably the worst choice you can make. Lenses like this one have to give up something in favor of that fast maximum aperture, and what they ditch is "curvature of field". That means that the center or edges of its image can be optimally sharp, but not both. In shooting the real world, that's not so important, as subjects in life tends to be at different distances from the camera anyway. In scanning this way, it is critical the lens focus its sharpest them the subject is a flat plane. That's why most of these videos recommend a true macro lens, which is optimized for that feature, but they are relatively expensive. A much less expensive alternative is a good enlarging lens, which also require a flat field to function. For this use, a lens of 75mm to 135mm with a 6-element design would be best. His rig here seems okay for images to be used in noncritical areas, like phones or computer monitors, but if he starts making prints of any size, he's screwed.

Stumbled on your vid yesterday while looking for Leica stuff and since I live in Gresham... How did you find your M-5?

Looks like scanning error of my portra 400.

Dope!

It seems like you shoot a very large percentage of your shots vertically? have you thought about shooting a square format?

4:48 and 7:12 were my favorites. Gorgeous Ethan!

50 likes? This is a very good edited video and I love your content, and you deserve more

Good stuff. Loved the lighthouse pics… cinestill xx is a fav of mine too!

WOAH! awesome to see another portland local enjoying the streets! portland is AMAZING for street photography.

I miss the era of film. It's crazy how beautiful the shots are in comparison to digital. The color balance of a SOC shot for most digital platforms is just so ugly.

Making me want to get that film camera sooner so I can use it for my trips to Chicago and Yakima! 😆

love the relaxing nature of the video, would love to see some voiceover of you talking about why you took certain shots and why you like/don't like them. Keep it up!

Great shots, and lovely find at 7:49. You're making me want to take a trip over to St. John's. Been a couple years since I've hung out over there!

feeling inspired by this!! will go out right now and take some pictures. 7:07 that shot is sooo gorgeous!!

i shoot most of my movies with a nikkor 28mm f2.8 ai-s mf on an m43 sensor, so like a 58mm equivalent. i dont think i'd like that distance as much full frame, but i like it a lot cropped. the best use i get out of it is to just treat it like whatever distance i want-use it for closeups, use it for two shots, use it for head to toe, use it for landscape, doesnt matter. the 28mm i use is so sharp all the way to the edges, and the lines are so straight, that it can be whatever i want it to be.

I am using my CONTAX G2 with all the G lens. I like using 16mm 21mm and 28mm. My favorite is 21mm for street photography. 35mm is still too tight for me. 21mm is good for some close-up and wide enough for things like narrow streets and back-street corners. I don't really like using anything narrower than 35mm. G45 is a bit too tight for me.

I’ve always loved the looks of the m5. It aesthetically reminds me of the movie Playtime. Great video and congrats on getting married, that’s so beautiful

bought a used camera last week spontaneously that came with a 60 mm lens, a detail i didn't even think about cause i barely knew there was a difference between lenses :/ holy frick everything is so close!!! that's how i found ur channel, searching for camera content to learn about my new camera :)

Nice glass! (I don't use that phrase loosley now 😅) I like the 50mm, I really think its neat because its perfect sitttin lens..meaning I enjoy using it whenever I'm sittin somewhere chillin especially diners etc. Its also fun to see some squeeze and tighter angles in a scene. I am addicted to using it vertically in portrait orientation though ha ha. I love shooting liminal night scenes, nature/forest too! I actually do a lot of shooting with a 50 on a tripod tbh..just feels fun to me, slows me down and treat the scene with my full attention, and thinking why I want to move closer.. further away etc instead of aimlessly pacing and overthinking it. Love the channel, would love to see bits of your films too! Cheers!❤ 🍻

Wow! This is so exciting! Im glad people are noticing the channel now. ❤ I can't wait to see the movie.

I've been shooting instant for a couple years, and i think the mm equivalent of most the cameras I've used has been around 35mm or wider. Jumping into non-instant 35mm film for the first time, and using a 50mm kit lens; Its been a bit of a learning curve in terms of having a more narrow view with my shots. I've been thinking about getting a 28 or 35. Perhaps even one that's variable?

For a while, all I wanted to shoot was 50mm, but now after shooting 35 and 40 so much I struggle with 50mm.

Found your videos after you started following me on Instagram, I loved your work. I always love the difference in what people shoot in Oregon vs what people shoot in Washington, being that they're so close together. Personally I love shooting more sad American landscapes for my personal work, but I've been experimenting with gear, style, and types of photography with my RUclips channel. I love learning and pushing myself when it comes to photography. As well, videography has open up a whole new can of worms as it comes to shooting style, editing, lighting, as well as learning audio. It's been a wild ride here on RUclips. Can't wait for the next episode!

No Minolta? I think you need another cam! 😄

Nice vid! I rarely shoot analog, mostly fuji digital these days, but enjoyed the video! Film photography too expensive and inconvenient :(
