Congrats Matt. Always watch your videos. You inspire more people than you know. I have been an "m" shooter for many years. Just ordered my first my first SL2-S, and am very excited to receive it Very happy for you and your family. Happy Holidays.
I’m really happy for you, congrats!!! I couldn’t afford an SL2, not even by selling my 3 Fuji cameras. Luckily I don’t have to cause I’m very happy with them, just like you are with your Leicas. Isn’t that a wonderful thing, finding what makes you happy, what works best for you, beyond brands and looks, and be in peace with it?
So happy for you man, been here for a long time, seen you go through great times and worse times and it's great to see you make it more and more every day. Keep it up \,,/
What an incredibly cool video and totally authentic how you explain it. You’ve always created amazing work and memories with your Leica and and it shows those cameras inspire you to shoot! Cool stuff man.
SL2 is a monster and I think its best used when you adapt M lenses to it - Always been a fan of you and your work - your videos encouraged my transition to Leica a while back... and I have never looked back since!
Amazing to see you become a part of Leica History Matt, extremely well deserved. Your work is inspirational, beautiful and full of real life. Congratulations man.
Brilliant solid camera, I sold my Q2 too get a SL2s because the grip and feel and like a 35mm lens. Got a 35mm voigtlander m mount on it. Such a nice system, I did literally get a 28-70 2.8 sigma to use on it. But don’t like how the depth of field doesn’t adjust in live view, end up looking to see if got the details I wanted on the back of the camera. Anyway that lens is going back, just stick with my manual 35mm which suits my way more. Nice one
Congratulations Matt. I'm not a big fan of Leica but I'm thrilled to see you partnered with them because you really love Leicas and definitely deserved it. Cheers :)
@@mattdayphoto I surely will! Recently, I visited the D.C Leica store and got to play with them quite a bit! I loved every part of it! Next, I’ll try them in a more realistic scenario. Thanks again, Matt! 🙌🏽
At some point I'd like to try the SL2. I borrowed an M10 a couple years ago and it didn't click with me, but I'd love to try this system just to see. Or maybe it's just film brain that didn't let it connect. Great work as always, dude!
Hi Mat, quick question please. There are few snippets where SL2 white lettering is blacked out. What did you use and is it permanent. I would love to tone it down, but afraid to go permanent… PS. I know there are few threads about it around but would love your take on it. Thanks in advance, Bob.
Could never afford a Leica. So I settled for the tiny Rollei 35S with the phenomenal Zeiss 40mm Sonnar. Have had it for over 40 years and would not trade it for any other. I only use this now and do not bother using my Pentax SLRs and DSLR.
Beautifully made video, convincing and concise. I'm seriously considering getting the SL2S for 70% video 30% photo. I have some questions for you. Can the camera run continuously on USB power delivery? How do you start/stop recording when you film yourself? I there a remote for it or you have to press the shutter?
Hey Matt, just to let you know youtube's algorithm seems to be screwing with your channel. I'm subscribed, have all notifications enabled but still I haven't been getting any notification of your latest videos on the notification list. I even thought you paused posting for a time just to realize I was 3-4 videos behind, I even re-subed and re-activated all notifications to no avail. Afaik this is the only channel that I have all notifications enabled that has this issue.
Unfortunately it seems like that’s becoming more and more common with some of my subscribers. Nearly 3/4 of my views come from non-subscribers. It’s bizarre to me.
@@azzalos The SL has everything that I need in a digital camera 'right now' tbh. But I would love to have the higher resolution ala SL2 with the low noise and low demand on storage of the SL2-S. The SL3 will be my 'future proof' camera.
Any particular reason you haven’t been? I have a couple small things/features that I’d like to see be added in firmware at some point, but it’s mostly for convenience sake.
@@mattdayphoto I’ve taken time before answering Matt and thanks for your reply,I did my first wedding with it last week and I must say it delivered,the clients were really happy ,maybe I was a little hasty.
one thing it can’t do it he an M body. Brilliant camera otherwise though :) maybe one day i’ll replace my 5d3 with one. but for now it’s m body always!!
Yet another enthusiast. I am too. I love it. But tell me, why would I want something that drains battery like an ex girlfriend, like, I last longer in bed compare to this battery life. Tell me why I should keep this? It has only been 13 hours since I bought it.
I guess in your eyes I'm just an enthusiast despite making a living with my camera, but I'm happy to help. What are you shooting mostly that's draining the battery so much? How much are you shooting, reviewing photos, etc. I used this system for a full year of wedding work, portrait work, even video work and only had 4 SL2 batteries across two cameras, two batteries per body.
@@mattdayphoto Oh I am so glad I did not returned it. I judged it too soon! I took it for a walk and blew my mind with the results! It dawned me, maybe, having a micro 4/3 sensor for the longest time, I am used to not charging it and still run for another photoshoot. I have to remember I have a full frame now. I love your offer! Honestly, I have been trying to figure out the red lines and how it highlights bright parts like some sort of zebra when something is too bright, how do I turn that off?
Leica SL2 the camera that does everything that other cameras do but cost over $8,000. I’ll buy a x100v instead. 😂 then groceries for my family for a year with money left over. #AD #careergains
I prefer Fujifilm cameras. Gives me superb image quality. I find no reason to own a Leica which are prohitively expensive. Besides Fujifilm cameras gives me uncompromising results. I respect your views though.
How you know Matt Day is “making it” big time.
Just thankful to be doing what I’m doing. ❤️
Matt, that is a Pro quality Advertisement.
Congrats Matt. Always watch your videos. You inspire more people than you know. I have been an "m" shooter for many years. Just ordered my first my first SL2-S, and am very excited to receive it

That’s what it’s all about! Thank you. I appreciate it.
it's just like an amazing sl2 advertisement.. I feel like I need to buy one as well! .Thanks for great quality and inspired video!
Thanks Matt. I also own an SL2-S and find it is the perfect addition that fills the (few) gaps of the M system (which I also love).
Agreed, they are on another level. I've been using both for weddings this year and been loving the process.
Same here!
Beautifully done Matt, I started years ago when I watched your FM2 video and your contents are just getting better and better! Thank you
Literal goals
Wonderful production loved every second of it 😍 now to convince the Mrs 😂
So happy for you man, been here for a long time, seen you go through great times and worse times and it's great to see you make it more and more every day. Keep it up \,,/
Wow. Beautiful, Matt. Congrats and well done, sir.

Thank you! Super kind of you to say that, I appreciate it.
Brilliant video still love my leica m10p😊
Great stuff, Matt!
Geeze!! I’m so thinking of switching out my Sony gear for the SL2 & Q2!!
It’s worth a shot! If you have any chance of renting first, try it out!
@@mattdayphoto I surely will!

You've just been Leica rolled and you didnt even care. Nice film. Carry on everyone.

That's the SL2-S, which has a blacked out Leica logo on the front.
Video does not fail - I really want the sl2 now :) I am totally with your last sentences: no bags and leathers cases, cameras should live and be used
Absolutely!
happy for you.
Thank you!
What do you think about the battery life?
Wow! Congratulations :)
Thank you!
Couldn’t agree with the perspective more
Thank you!
Congrats on the sponsorship/endorsement!
Thank you!

Very nice Matt, need to give the SL system a try
Wanna borrow mine Josh/Shane? Got an SL with m adapter
Would love to see what you both think of them!
Give this man a 35 APO Summicron-M already 😅
Has Leica told you to do the ad for the Leica SL2(-S)? Leica started an ad campagn for it yesterday.

Nice Commercial. 👍
I'm still hoping for a smaller SL based on the Panasonic S5.
I would absolutely love that. Same sensor of the SL2-S and it would be a great every day carry.
same, that would be perfect, but at a panasonic price :)
Thank you. Can you share your experience with autofocus and shooting kids indoors?
father matt this is insane
Love my SL, can’t wait for the SL3. Really hoping for a 30-36mp bsi sensor~
Sounds like you’re dissatisfied and listing lacks
I feel like the SL to the SL2 was a big leap forward, so I’m excited to see where they go next.

Nikon Z6ii is a great hybrid.
I haven’t tried that one, but a good friend loves his.
Ahhh nice. Robbed only 4 banks today, took all their loot. 8 bags full. 4 more banks to go tomorrow. Ever closer to buying a Leica hand-strap.
I’m not overly impressed with mine.
