No channel has ever inspired me this much to get out and shoot cinematic clips and photos. The way you present info and the cinematic experience of your videos are unmatched!
SAME! Literally the first video I ever shot was a few weeks ago and before that I never wanted to. I made a lens “trailer” with close to the same vibe as these videos. I want to get into it so much more.
So it’s actually 250 rolls of Portra 400 ($16 per roll to buy the film + $20 per roll scan/dev) to equal the cost of this camera (or 50 5-packs which is apparently what I calculated for). I apologize for the error, it looks like a solar flare flipped a bit on my calculations. Still not a crazy amount of film though!
Yes not that crazy. Especially if you consider that 250 rolls is 9000 shots, and that an m11 with 9000 shots retain all its resale value ! Only problem, the photos look too digital.
Been considering buying this camera all year now and have talked myself out of it from a practicality standpoint, but your video reminded me they’ve never been the practical choice to begin with. Haha. Great video, man.
Thanks so much, Matt! Yeah, Leica is definitely anything but practical, but again, neither is art. It’s great getting a comment from you! You are one of the OGs of camera RUclips! Cheers from Michigan!
A Sony A7RIV has the exact same sensor as this camera. It's like $2000 for one used. Autofocus, evf, video capabilities and the same sensor for 1/5th the price.
I discovered this masterpiece of a channel recently. And I must say I watch these videos over and over and over and over again. They're so amazing and artistic! Can you do a tutorial on how to light and color grade your footage
I love that you use Mini-discs to showcase your preset packs. The Sony Mini-disc recorder/players have always been one of my favorite tech objects in terms of design. Mine still works beautifully even after 20 years.
I won't even watch these videos on my phone because your content is an experience. On mobile now saving for later. Just found your videos like a week ago but you've already inspired me as a creator more than anybody else I've seen in like a decade. Good work man
This channel has been an absolute saviour when it comes to inspiration, I have been in a rut photographically and now feel excited and inspired to get back out there and shoot video and photos in a much more cinematic way. But first let me pick up an XT-3😂
No one on RUclips is making content like you… period. Your videos are a joy to watch. From the color grading to sound design and music they truly are on another level!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
These videos are truly superb! Loved my time testing out the M11 as well. The 50 rolls of Portra calculation took me by surprise. Puts things in perspective for volume film shooters.
Thanks for watching! So I realized my math was off a bit. I accidentally was using the price of the 5-pack of film so it’s actually 250 rolls, but still that isn’t a crazy amount.
@@GxAce I came here to say, in the UK it is about 190 rolls as an estimate. I stopped shooting film when I got my Leica SL2-S 2 years ago. I find that the experience of using that camera with manual lenses is very similar to what I was used to shooting SLR 35mm cameras with none of the film headache. I used to shoot quite a lot of film so I imagine that I am round about break even with my SL2-S purchase. (not to mention the money I recouped selling my contax t2 and other film bodies)
So I randomly found the channel, I had never ever seen something that different on RUclips, everything from cinematics to sound design is something else. I'm blown away by the quality of content on this channel!!
Could you share the calculation you mentioned in the section "Film is for Rich People" The M11 is about say USD9000 since you mentioned it is below USD10,000. Film - Portra 400 35mm (shoot, dev and scan) per roll = USD20 you mentioned at 50 rolls it would be close to the price of the M11 USD20 x 50 = USD1000. How is that close to USD9000? What else was factored into the calculations? It would take about more than 450 rolls to be anywhere close to that value at USD9000. FYI, I am not being angry with my comments, I am genuinely curious. I too shoot film and digital (I have a digital and film medium format camera).
I found your channel a few days ago, literally blown away man. I have been debating really taking the leap into photography, on a small scale at the moment I shoot with a GoPro. You have definitley inspired me to get behind an actual camera. Thank you for these masterpieces.
I think your maths might be off on the film comment? $9000/50 would be $180 for film+dev+scan, which would be very steep... Nonethless, amazing video, always love your content :)
Loved this video but can't say I agree that this camera, or any digital camera, can give you the film experience. Its not all about the look of the results or the tactile feel of the camera. For me, and I'd say many others, the process of not being able to know your results instantly and having the time between shooting and developing is very important and shooting film is a way for me to disconnect from the digital experience which makes me feel more present and calm. On top of that, the cost barrier you brought actually makes me take far less photos which I think forces me to be a lot more critical of what I am looking at, and taking photos of, which I believe has made me a better photographer overall. I shoot both film and digital but the process of the two is totally different and for me yields completely different results. Love your videos, thank you for all the work you put into them!
That orange opening was next level. I can’t recall seeing such beautiful and moody imagery in a cinema and here you are doing it on your RUclips channel. I’d love some video content or even a blog post on any other projects you are working on with these skills!
Your videos are breathtaking and beautifully crafted! It's like I'm in the bladerunner universe! I watch them start to end just because they are so amazing! Thank you! And on top of that, your videos make me want to go out and shoot all the time - photography is beautiful and your videos are an inspiration!
this and Camera Conspiracies are some of my favourite camera channel lol... the story telling is just different from your average 1million - 10 mill subscriber channel
Maybe the M10 (and their variants) is the best digital M for your needs. You get the slim M6 body type, the good rear screen and it still has the bottom plate. And on the German used market the classic M10 is slowly going for sale for under 4000 Euros, the M10-R for roughly 5500 Euros (don’t know the prices in your region)😉
This channel beats litarly every single channel cinematic wise, this is movie quality stuff, im a photographer for 4 years now and you've inspired me to do cinematography.
Every video of yours looks, feels and sounds like some of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Without question one of the best channels on the platform. I would love to watch your videos in cinema!
I recently discovered this channel and it's a strange but good feeling to see what is basically a camera review but in very polished cinematic style that fits my ultrawide screen.
I refuse to call what you make "videos". To me, they’re video essay/short film hybrids. But while "video" is technically the correct term for the medium, it falls very short of conveying your creativity and dedication to your craft that makes each of your uploads a uniquely inspiring experience. I’m amazed yet again.
I'm very happy with my Fuji X-E3 i bought for 300 Euros used. You can probably have a similar experience with a Fuji X-T that also have a dial for ISO. You can get a Fujifilm X-T1 for 290 Euro on ebay and some say it had the best X-Trans sensor. I tested it and the photos where great, but i missed a clean HDMI out. I also want to do video work with it.
I am an X-PRO3 shooter and i agree with you. I still cant get my head around a 9 grand camera with NO AUTO FOCUS, I love LEICA but this M11 is a NO go for me. And lets not forget the FUJI recipes are AMAZING. I am waiting for the LEICA Q3 to be announced, i will get that ALL DAY, Auto focus is THE KEY.
My heart skipped a beat when I heard 50 rolls? I've shot and had scanned/developed 30 rolls during the past few months and was like "Was I more than halfway to an M11?!?!". Glad to see the correction which immediately made me exhale a sigh of relief.
I tried a Leica M11 in store and immediately I understood. It was my first time using a rangefinder too and I loved it. If I was rolling in cash I'd buy one but it's a pipe dream.
Man I can't get over how beautiful your videos are i have never seen such a cinematic review before you nailed it with your shots and your own style . Especially the colorgrading you should make a LUTS pack for the looks you're using in your videos it's gonna sell like crazy !! Hope you the best times am glad i know your channel now
For me the best photography and videography channel of all times. Nothing isnpires me to go out and shoot more like you. You were the reason WHy i bought Fuji x100 to acompany my canon DSLR and I simply love it ❤ keep up the good work 😊
There's got to be a "0" missing from your "55k subs" cuz i don't believe you have so few. not even for a second. Thank you for providing such cinematically breathtaking content every time.
Great channel its always a pleasure watching your videos and your take on things. It focuses more on the experience and interaction with the tool rather than the technical aspects. Keep up the great work!
I guess this is why some musicians love the cult-classic OP-1 vs a computer running a DAW - the limited but tactile experience really just inspires you to actually make things rather than fiddle with settings. Then again, I've never experienced either, but must be pretty cool either way.
This is not a youtube channel its a netflix production level mini documentary seires hell its even better than netflix, discovery channel, natgeo??? i am in love with this channel
Fucking phenomenal. I love how your review style is very unique, it's almost like watching a movie with how cinematically you frame your shots and use music. Your close ups show so much detail I can practically feel the camera through the screen, your voice over is very calm and feels grounded, your style is dark and gritty. It's awesome
I read the dpreview of the M8 and I think it’s said better there than anywhere else, for me at least. For me, M cameras are not how how it feels to take the photo, it’s that it makes you choose how the photo is made every shot. You choose what to focus on, the depth of field vs the shutter speed. You have to think about what to focus on and what to expose for and pick. Even focusing on a manual SLR is more wishy-washy as you focus the entire image until it looks right without selecting a specific point to focus on.
Wonderful work as always! Have you ever considered mixing your videos in 5.1? I feel like your style lends itself to a surround mix, especially all the music, and RUclips recently started supporting 5.1 on Android TV and Apple TV. Maybe more, but that's all I know of.
@@GxAce If that’s something you want to try (because, if someone is absolutely mad when it comes to production quality, it’s you!), you can check out a VST Plugin called “Dear VR Monitor” it allows you to monitor 5.1 setups (and higher) binaurally through headphones. Your productions must be one of three channels that makes me actually comment on stuff like that. Glad to have found you!
Guys, I am really seriously planning to buy one and only one thing from cons I heard in a review while ago was that the startup delay of M11 is about 4 seconds which can eventually mean a lost picture. Can someone refer on this and was this fixed yet? Thanks.
I’ve got an M6 and would love to try an M11 🎉 Props on the accompanying music on this episode 👍🏻😁 I watch every single one of your videos and keep coming back 🔥
Nope you didn’t miss something, I did. I accidentally took the price of the 5-pack and forgot to divide it by 5. Should be 250 rolls, still not a crazy amount, but I’m still rather annoyed I let that slip. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks! All of the B-roll in this video was shot on the Bausch and Lomb Baltar 35mm T2.5 from Zero Optik. Its an awesome cinema lens from the 1930's. The A-roll was shot on the Helios 44-2
Just found your channel and I gotta say your videos are amazing! Feels very unique and interesting If there's one suggestion I could make, I would love having subtitles available. With such overwhelmingly beautiful visuals, I think subs would help to follow the narrative, especially through the talking head scenes. They don't have to come now, but I think at some point down the line they're worth the effort :] Keep it up and excited for more!
Extremely fine production as usual, GX. About "film experience", I shamelessly tape my Fujifilm X100 screen with a black, fake leather sticker. I always use OVF, then I only see the photographs when the files have been transferred to my laptop. If I want to go extreme, I put a 1GB SD card to my X100 --that's only enough capacity to fit about 37-40 RAW files, roughly the same as 1 roll of film and I have 5 piece of 1GB cards (with my snail pace of photography, it's more than enough for a week of traveling). My X100 only cost me US$300, about the same as 20 rolls of Kodak Vision + ECN2 processing cost on my country. 20 rolls = 720 pictures and my X100 have been taking tens of thousands picture for about 4 years. You are miscalculating the cost of Portra vs Leica M11, but you are absolutely right about one thing: nowadays, shooting film is for rich people.
Love your content, I just purchased the liminal space preset pack and its added quite a bit of character to some of my photos. Love the feeling it creates.
Excellent video as always! It doesnt matter if im interested in the topic, the way you make your videos makes me want to watch them anyways! Keep up the good work!
While having the bottom of camera sans bottom plate might be less in the "spirit" of the old film leicas, the addition of a USB-C port that can be used to make the camera viable for tethering to a PC (in my case using Capture One) has been a huge improvement, making it more viable for working professionals who rely on that tech.
Keep this up man - I love the style of the videos, gives me Matrix, Altered Carbon, Blade Runner and Ghost in a shell all mixed together. I think you've earned another patreon in me!
No channel has ever inspired me this much to get out and shoot cinematic clips and photos. The way you present info and the cinematic experience of your videos are unmatched!

Nope you didn’t miss something, I did. I accidentally took the price of the 5-pack and forgot to divide it by 5. Should be 250 rolls, still not a crazy amount, but I’m still rather annoyed I let that slip. Thanks for letting me know.
keep up this style of videos and you'll get millions of subs in no time. i love it when a video is so extra it becomes an aesthetic
1:33 absolutely love that shot. Na all of them, I love all of them.
Thanks!! :D
Awesome vid, the way you keep giving us such refined content so often is mesmerizing.
this is BEAUTIFUL! what lens/filter were you using to get the flares at 2:12????
Thanks! All of the B-roll in this video was shot on the Bausch and Lomb Baltar 35mm T2.5 from Zero Optik. Its an awesome cinema lens from the 1930's. The A-roll was shot on the Helios 44-2
@@GxAce zero optiks damn, so completely rehoused? That is beautiful
Magnificent as always!
Thanks!!
Every video a journey.
Bravo!
Just found your channel and I gotta say your videos are amazing! Feels very unique and interesting
If there's one suggestion I could make, I would love having subtitles available. With such overwhelmingly beautiful visuals, I think subs would help to follow the narrative, especially through the talking head scenes. They don't have to come now, but I think at some point down the line they're worth the effort :]
Keep it up and excited for more!
I don’t post much on here but UNBELIEVABLE presentation.
Totally agree... The weirder the camera is the more fun it is to use!
The music and audio design really pulls you in. Where did this music come from? Did you make it? Who’s the artist would love to learn more
Extremely fine production as usual, GX. About "film experience", I shamelessly tape my Fujifilm X100 screen with a black, fake leather sticker. I always use OVF, then I only see the photographs when the files have been transferred to my laptop.
If I want to go extreme, I put a 1GB SD card to my X100 --that's only enough capacity to fit about 37-40 RAW files, roughly the same as 1 roll of film and I have 5 piece of 1GB cards (with my snail pace of photography, it's more than enough for a week of traveling).
My X100 only cost me US$300, about the same as 20 rolls of Kodak Vision + ECN2 processing cost on my country. 20 rolls = 720 pictures and my X100 have been taking tens of thousands picture for about 4 years.
You are miscalculating the cost of Portra vs Leica M11, but you are absolutely right about one thing: nowadays, shooting film is for rich people.
leica camrea Science fiction film and techno music, these are my favorites，thank you guys , so cool!!
Dude, I get so hyped to see a new video by you, for the cinematic garbage, I love it
would love to see your review of one of Leica's monochrom cameras
Love your content, I just purchased the liminal space preset pack and its added quite a bit of character to some of my photos. Love the feeling it creates.
Incredible as always. Do you have a favorite lens for your M?
Thanks! My favorite currently is the Contax Zeiss 45mm f2 that I have converted to m-mount. Such an amazing lens, originally from the Contax G system.
Excellent video as always! It doesnt matter if im interested in the topic, the way you make your videos makes me want to watch them anyways! Keep up the good work!
While having the bottom of camera sans bottom plate might be less in the "spirit" of the old film leicas, the addition of a USB-C port that can be used to make the camera viable for tethering to a PC (in my case using Capture One) has been a huge improvement, making it more viable for working professionals who rely on that tech.
This videos are sick!!! Love this channel
Hasselblad X2D is beautiful too but do you think it is fun or just like another DSLR / Mirrorless experiences?
this guy is going to force creators to step it up. This production quality is nuts
Keep this up man - I love the style of the videos, gives me Matrix, Altered Carbon, Blade Runner and Ghost in a shell all mixed together. I think you've earned another patreon in me!
