Love this assignment. I got an excellent used Leica Q2 Monochrom at a price that really made me smile. I have been to Taiwan a number of times and love seeing what you discovered. BTW - I also got a Wotancraft Bag and it just arrived a few days ago. I picked up the 3.5L pilot bag and it is like it was made for the Q2 Monochrom. Enough extra room for a filter pouch, extra battery and a few handy things. Gone are my days of lugging around a camera and extra lenses. I have gone light and learned to get creative and explore what this camera offers. This camera forces you to be a better photographer. The settings are important and then learning what shooting B&W makes you think about. The images are stunning to say the least. Thanks for documenting your adventure.
Love your energy and focus Justin.... I like your post processing...The monochroms are very flat SOC. You crushed your blacks very tastefully and not too much....Just right.... Great video man!
I really like the q2 monochrome but I had to choose q2 over monochrome because sometime I like to shoot colors. Black & White out of this monochrome is out of this world. Thanks for sharing and would love to watch more.
@@AskMOTT Mostly the Old Quarter. Our hotel was there. Initially overwhelming because there is so much to shoot. You really need to pick your spots or you'll end up with hundreds of shots!
I had one, and it was a terrific camera. I have an M11 Monochrom on order, but can still 12:19 see getting a Q2 Monochrom or perhaps a Q3 Monochrom if it becomes available someday.
I believe the camera wasn`t good enough to get your enthusiasm. You`re images were edited, what`s your opinion on the SOC files? I own a Q2 and convert a lot to B&W and am always wondering why I didn`t get the Monochrom version. Nice video!
Hey, totally cool images. Really like them, I’m a totally black and white addict. Awesome idea also. If you catch such a Leica assignment, how much could you charge them?
Leica M junior, for amateurs 😂 mmm I appreciate subjectivity, but a full frame, high res, 28mm ‘Leica glass’ camera is standalone, it’s very obviously able to be used professionally hence all the above. Not singularly commercial maybe but there’s more to being a professional photographer than commercial work… all the greats? For someones photography to be limited by what is a very capable camera is the users visual or artistic choice not the tool. There’s extremely accomplished professionals making very viable work on 5yr old Fuji crop point and shoots.

Finally a new q2m video, thanks
My pleasure Marcio, thanks for watching.

Right on , thanks brother:).
This was great, Justin! Beautiful shots!
Thank you Hugo , I appreciate the kind words.
@@AskMOTT My pleasure!
Hey Justin, love the straight up honesty and energy of your videos. Wondering what strap you have on that Q3. Thanks!
Great review Jason!
Awesome photos, what metering mode did you use on the q2m ? Did you under expose ? Thanks
I was just in Taiwan with my Q2 yesterday, amazing city, great food choices. If you're still there try going around the area of Taipei post office.
What a bummer, we could've met up. Make sure to go to the Wotancraft store while you are there and tell them I sent you.
I read your comment a day too late. I'm back in Manila now, if you ever get to visit PH, let me know so i can show you around.
Impressive images Justin.
I appreciate that :)
Just came from Hanoi where I did some street photography with the Q2M. Magical!
Right on , where did you shoot?

Loving your work of late Justin! 😎👍✌️
I appreciate that , trying to step up my RUclips game this year :).
@@AskMOTT It shows! Your content is great!👍
nice work, love how the production values of your vids has increased, cheers
Thanks for noticing , I’ve been working harder on that end :).
I have a Q2 Monochrom. It is an amazing camera.
I thoroughly enjoyed using it Debra, I see why you love it.

I think you nailed it, when you said…breakaway from the norm.
I believe the camera wasn`t good enough to get your enthusiasm. You`re images were edited, what`s your opinion on the SOC files? I own a Q2 and convert a lot to B&W and am always wondering why I didn`t get the Monochrom version. Nice video!
Which camera and which city do you want me to explore next?
I wonder how the Leica Q will hold up in 2023, let me know when you're in Manila 🙂📸
Where can I get a hat like yours?

Please come to Cairo EGYPT, and do a old town walk. Would love to see your results
OMG, I'd love to!!! Ok, adding it to my list.
Is that a Rolex submariner?
GMT
@@AskMOTT respect! GMT and a Q2... you ain't playing around!📸💯🎯
I have Q and pair it with a 16610 Submariner.
@q3813 good taste my friend 🎯⌚️
How about M11M?
Hello Benoit, I used that in my last episode, here ruclips.net/video/SYPN-T4JRMc/видео.html
Your pronunciation of Di Hua was actually pretty good
That makes me happy , thanks :).
Welcome Taiwan~!!
Thanks so much , already back in Vietnam but I loved it there :).
I love shooting with my q2
She’s a beauty :).
A Leica D-Lux. At the Leica Australia store.
Oh wow, did you get it ?
@@AskMOTT No, just dreaming. But I haven't seen any decent reviews of it yet.😊😊

I had one and sold it ... big mistake ... want it back!
Just take it back from the person you sold it too and say sorry, it was a mistake :).
@@AskMOTT I'm sure it found a new home pretty fast. Live and learn. Not the first time I've had sellers regret.
Enjoyed the video but not the music - far too loud compared to the speech.
Really, I went pretty low with that this time. You mean the music w voice over at the same time? Always appreciate the feedback Roger.
