Hey everyone! First of all congratulations to Sam for his milestone. Secondly yes of course feel free to donate to Sam or I for the road trip via paypal..And or become a member of my or his channel with the $10 tier. The links are available in the description for both of us. I will also talk more about the project in the near future and why this is such a special thing for me in particular. Many thanks! おめでとう🎉
It was very moving to hear about your journey, a supportive wife is a big deal too, obviously supportive because she believes in you, so a virtuous circle
Congrats Sam on 100K. 👏👏 It must be nice! Haha. On the Street, Potato Vlog, GR project etc miss those days and for sure can’t wait what you have in stock. More blessings & wins.
Wow! Herzlichen Glückwunsch dazu!!! Ich hab dir von ein paar Jahren mal ein Objektiv verkauft, also hatte ich schon Kontakt mit einem Celebrity - ich freu mich :) Nein im Ernst, verdiente 100.000!!!
Hi ,,, I have been shooting Nikon all of 55years... The D850 is great,,, and You have decided to use as myself and people in the know say it is the Very BEST DSLR ever made ,,,, I look forward to seeing Your project and photographs :) :) :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally got time to sit down and enjoy this. That intro really put all the work and effort into perspective. Congratulations brother. Excited for all the great stories ahead ✊🏾
Thankyou for all of your work to make your channel ! I love your channel man, I watch you almost everyday on my lunch ! hopefully getting my first Fujifilm Xt30ii soon and hopefully gala start to learn street. Thanks again for your awesome vlogs. Congratulations on your 100k, well deserved !
They grow up so fast - congrats on 100K, very very well deserved Samuilu Lintalo Hopu! 🥳 Been here since the early X100F Japan days. Cannot wait to see what the future brings!
Congratulations Samuel! Well deserved 100k. Your Kabuki performance was really great. XD was quite unexpected. A road trip with alex. Dude. I am sooo excited about it :O
OMG! Never did I think you'd get a D850! I fell in love with one when it came out and a while back I got one - amazing! Looking forward to following your trip!
Ohhh nice! I had my eye on one for a while and I didn't own any of my old canon lenses anymore so I had nothing to loose by trying a Nikon. And I was looking for the best OVF ina Digital Camera that i can find. Then found the D850 :) Very happy with it!
Congratulations on this big milestone. Thank you for the update! Can’t wait to see the results of all your endeavors. Thank you for all the content you put out for us sharing your love for photography. 🙏🏻
Congrats Samuel! Long time following your channel (years), loving your work. I do wildlife, but always came here to learn and get inspiration to be ready when i finally decide to jump to StreetPh!! (Long time wanting one, but still i dont get my Ricoh GR 😁) PD: Enjoy the time with your baby, they grow too fast.
Very cool video and nice montage. Congratulations on the 100K. I've discovered your channel quite recently and really enjoy your style. I loved seeing that taped up D850 at the end. I was ashamed to feel nostalgia for my DSLRs (still own a Df though), and I am thrilled to see a "young one" choosing that platform in 2022. Also thrilled to see you using that Voigtlander 40mm. That lens had a lot of "so-so" technical reviews but it really works great, even on a high res body like the D850. I've also learned to trust that little dot at the bottom left of the screen for manual focus. I trust it at least as much as those little eye-AF boxes that fly around on modern mirrorless bodies. Again, "the internet" says that the dot lacks precision, but I disagree. I will be using my Df + 40mm this weekend, to celebrate your 100K. Thanks for your inspiration and good luck for the future!
Samuel, Congrats!!!...Live you best possible life!.Love your family!..Keep up the wonderful work!..me personally not only I get a photography perspective from your channel I get also get a life's perspective as well from you and all the other photographers you have had in the channel over the years..I will continue to appreciate it!..and Thank you!
Thank you. Thank you. It was because of you that I bought my first camera (x100s) and went to the streets in 2018. You and many others were so inspiring to us. 🇲🇽
Hello Samuel, this is one of the photography youtube channel that i really like. It is always entertaining and leisure to watch. This is a great contribute for the community.
Very excited for your Fukuoka Trip and where your channel will head to. Will follow for sure. And man, does that kimono fit mister Hopu 😅 By the way, you are really good in speaking in front of people. Got an exclusive view at the Ricoh Community Day in Berlin. So , Congratulations on this milestone and off to the next thousands of subscribers!
I've been watching your videos since you’ve started making videos in RUclips. you have come a long way samuel and you deserve much more than this, congratulations on touching this milestone.
Congrats on the milestone!! Started following your work when I was looking for good GR III examples and stayed for the person behind the camera! Looking forward to seeing the Fukuoka trip especially as someone who grew up in Japan! p.s. I was one of the peeps in the back from Alex's congrats video!
Congrats ! 👏 Can't wait to see the results of that trip with Alex ! Will be so fun. 😎 Unexpected camera for sure ! You said you found the SL too big and heavy, and now you bought an even bigger and heavier one ! 🤣😅
Congratulations Samuel 🎉 and THANK YOU 🙏🏼 for your informative and lovely content about photography! Also a huge THANK YOU to your family for supporting your creative expressions! I always enjoy your content and appreciate how you’ve created a happy space for those who love photography 📸
Can’t wait to see what comes out of yours and Alex’s adventure. Hell yes I’ll support it. Totally get why you want to focus on the photography instead of videos, but feel free to spam us with one-take shorts on your phones. Have fun
That D850 with the Voigtlander is great! Where did you get that focus tab for it? I have a Voigtlander 40mm f2 for my Canon 6D...love the lens and the focal length, but a focus tab would take it over the top. Are you using a manual focus assist screen (if Nikon has one comparable to the Canon EG-S)? Maybe we'll have to wait for a future video on the new camera for more info. Wishing you well as you juggle family responsibilities with photography and videos. Best...
Thank for the wishes!😊 I use the focus tab that 7 artisans (or TTArtisans I don’t remember) makes. It it‘s not a perfect fit but sits very strongly and improves the operation so much! Love the 40! I only rely on the focus indication in the left corner and my eyes😄 I am slowly developing the skill to check the indicator without looking haha.
Me as a huge Nikon fanboy, these are wonderful news to see you now using one of my all-time favorites (D850) 😍. Now you've created my dream team (which I also have and use since a few years) Nikon D850 + Ricoh's GR lineup = 🤩
Congrats Sam!!! Like the way you produce and try not to mix your Photo Projects with your Videos. So true that is really difficult to do both at the same time.
Congratulations Samuel and thank you for this channel 🙌🏼 your videos make me feel good about photography every time I’m down. And also, you are the king of intros. I’m always re-watching those from the GR Project. Success on your journey ✌🏼📸
Congrats, Lintaro! And I am excited your & Alex’s road trip concept! Btw, I like the Japanese style entrance door at your house in Japan. Very classy!!
Congratulations for having surpassed having 100K subscribers. Thank you, for your work to produce such a wonderful RUclips channel. I believe that you will do excellent work with you D850. In your previous presentations, you have mostly used cameras and lenses that were unfamiliar to me, but, of course, photography is mostly “not about the gear.” I can recommend trying the Nikkor AF-S 28mm f/1.4E, which I have found to be wonderful, on D5 and D850 cameras.
Congratulations on the milestone Sammi, take as long as you need. I'm absolutely loving my GRiii. I think it's the first time I've really understood the exposure triangle in 40 years of photography. I bought that on your recommendation. Thanks for that, and all the inspiring videos.. Good luck to you.
Totally understand. When my second was born and because of my wife’s job requiring lots of travel, I had to become an almost full time dad. I kicked into high gear but after leaving an amazing place (Jakarta). That sucked. Missed a lot of great photo opportunities. Lately, I had a big move overseas so had to take another break. Hoping to document it. You do great work and love your candor.
Congratulations on the 100k subs. I have enjoyed your content and you have made me a GR convert! Enjoy your trip to Japan. I hope you have a wonderful (and well-deserved) break.
Congrats Sam! Thanks for putting out entertaining content all the time - really one of the few channels that I look forward to seeing with each upload. I'm sure you can relate to that as well lol
Congrats Samuel. Your videos are always a good mix of information, nice photos and humor. I am a Fuji shooter, but due to your enthusiasm I consider a Ricoh GR III as backup- or always taking it with me camera, although I rarely do street photography and the Ricoh does not have a flippy screen. Maybe wait for a GR IV. Have a nice trip and have fun with your Nikon D850.
Congrats! What a huge milestone and I've really been enjoying your videos for a while now. D850 is a surprise, and I was trying to go back and see the photos you took with it on your protest video, but that video seems to be missing. Did you take it down? Would love to see those photos again. Cheers!
Congrats Samuel! So good to see your channel growing so much.😄 I am starting my own channel little by little and you have been a big inspiration. I also understand what its like working as a creative while also having kids 🥴
Congrats Samuel! This is an outstanding and well-deserved achievement. I was there for that initial Fujifilm X-100F video and it has been impressive to see your growth. You stayed true to yourself and brought a unique perspective to the photography and creative world. The number of subs is one thing, but the community you created is priceless! Cheers! 🤘🏻
Congratulations man. Personally, you are one of my few favorite photography RUclipsrs because you seem really genuine, fun, and unpretentious. Very relatable even to your constant camera switcheroos. As a photographer who loves cameras as much as taking pictures, we should always be open to try different cameras and brands because it is part of the fun, at least for me. Congrats once again! And love that you're currently using a Nikon D850 beast!
That intro shows just how much you’ve contributed to this community. A lot of hard work and dedication. Excited for the future of this channel 💪🏻
Dear Ivan, I'm a big fan of your channel too and I'd like to see yours grow as well!
Congratulations! I started with a Nikon DSLR, though I’m now firmly Fuji/Ricoh. Excited to hear how you get on!

Ohh yeah the roadtrip will be epic

I still use a 8.1 megapixel Ricoh GR digital from 2005. With a spare battery I go street hunting mostly in black and white. Great results.
got a bit nostalgic over the intro even tho I’ve only been watching the channel for a few months now. congratulations, Samuel!
Congrats Samuel! Long time following your channel (years), loving your work.
I do wildlife, but always came here to learn and get inspiration to be ready when i finally decide to jump to StreetPh!! (Long time wanting one, but still i dont get my Ricoh GR 😁)
PD: Enjoy the time with your baby, they grow too fast.
Big Congrats, bro! Hard to believe I've been watching your channel for like four years now. Yeesh. Haha. Time flies.
Very cool video and nice montage. Congratulations on the 100K. I've discovered your channel quite recently and really enjoy your style. I loved seeing that taped up D850 at the end.

Congrats! I’ve watched and enjoyed so many of your vids. Keep up the great work!
Wonderful, you 100% deserve your success… that said you owe me big time… “forcing” me to buy a Leica M was darn expensive
Congratulations! Very well deserved! Definitely one of my favourite channels
Richté krass, wie du so über die Jahre rumgekommen bist und wer dir dabei so über den Weg gelaufen ist!
Glückwunsch zu 100k!
Stoked about you roadtrip project. Immediately upgraded ;)

well done you deserved it, from my side I like that you do not fix on one brand but on the style of fontography, keep doing
Congratulations 100k 👍
