At 37:37, John suggests going up a faster shutter speed of 1/250 to reduce camera shake. Changing the shutter speed will not improve camera shake. The strobe freezes the motion and any camera shake. The shutter speed is used to increase or decrease how much ambient is captured. Basic strobe photography guys. But I just love how Mark shoots. And enjoyed this episode in spite of this tech error. Not by Mark, but by the John the Leica tech guy!
Always great to watch and hear Mark shoot and great to see these comparisons. Thank you to Leica and Mark for putting this out here (and Cocoa for posing!).
John selling the lenses! The bodies will forever change, no matter how long we keep them. But those lenses. The Summicron-S 100/2 is my favorite AF lens.
Very cool to see a side by side of the 100mm Summicron-S on an S3 and the SL2. I have that lens and adapter for my SL system and *love* it for portraits. That said, I've never shot with an S body. Really dig these live shoots in general. It's fun to see mixing and matching of formats and techniques with live results.
This was great. I am a doc and portrait photographer. I shoot w M's and an SL2. Whereas I love the SL2 in studio (w C1 Pro), I struggle with it in the field due to the slow buffer and transfer speed. That said, the shot, once acquired, is bloody amazing. I can't go back to Nikon. I'd love to be able to afford an S. For MF work I"m working with a used Hasselblad HD5 w a 50 (very nice lens) and the standard 80.
S3 seems to capture more colors than SL2, and the S3 perspective has a bit more "pro" look if there is such a thing. It would be cool if they make a new mirrorless version of the S3 camera with new lenses. I think they would dominate medium format market for sure.
i use an S2 and a GFX 100. At 1:1 the files of the S are significantly better. The S3 is not stabilized but it has better ISO perfornance than the GFX so I am sure it can compete. With the mirror up camera shake is minimal. I still try to use the S when circumstances allow (albeit for an S2 the usability is much narrower).
I really enjoyed this demonstration and discussion. Note that the 100mm S f2.0 has the depth of field equivalent to f1.6 when comparing it to images shot on a full frame 35mm format. On the SL2, the depth of field is set by the real f2.0 of the lens. That is why the photos taken with the SL2 have greater depth of field comparing images shot at 2.0 on both camera bodies. For a direct comparison, the lens would need to be set at f2.5 on the S3 to get the same depth of field equivalent to images shot at f2.0 on the SL2. Yes that sounds confusing, but it explains the results. That also means that the somewhat greater depth of field on the SL2 should not be taken as a reason to prefer the images seen with that camera body. On the S3, you have the choice between f2.0 or 2.5 to get the different depth of field effects.
What I look for when I'm watching something like this is not. What's the camera body. What's the camera lens. What's the settings. Instead I'm looking for. What is the mindset of the photographer. What's the motivation of the photographer. Not. Can I go out and buy what the photographer has. But. How can I move my mind into the space that photographer is within to improve my work. While there was not enough of that here for me. I have searched out other Mark Mann videos on RUclips and gotten more of what I wanted to view about him and his process. Mark's outlook is good for me because I am too technical and need to be more creative. Thank you for this video and this introduction to Mark.

This test Is marvelous!!! Thanks😊😉😘
One of the best in the biz Mann, I’ll get this camera someday

No SL2-S after all? Saw it in the title but not in the actual video :/ Love your work!
Yeah sorry we miscalculated how many cameras we had and ended up using both of them for the stream :( next time though
First. Saw and enjoyed this live. I will need to come back later for the comments.

Thank you.. I' agree with you totally .. hope we can do more of what you like..
SL-2 skin tones looks very bad. Sorry. It has too much pinkish magenta shift. S3 has much much better colors for the skin tones.
Agreed..
That 75 noctilux might be horrendously expensive, but boy it's pretty! Pfff.....
Agreed!!
