In this episode - Chris struggles to fight his inner hipster. With a Leica in hand and a messenger bag around his shoulder, Chris finds himself in a trendy part of town only known by those who were there before it became cool. In a town full of character - will Chris be able to understand the true meaning of the rusted artistic nature? Stay tuned to find out!

So having been a Nikon, Fujifilm, and Leica shooter. Both Film and Digital. I'll tell you straight up that Leica is not the highest technological advanced high performance camera available to the prosumer community. In fact Sony's Alpha series ( A7- A9) are the "best" in terms of specs. It's so full of specs and advances, you can operate it like a smart phone camera but get A+++ grade results. Sony is on the road to dominating the Nikon and Canon user base. Having said that, Leica is my preferred choice. I'm confident in my skill set that I can create the same images with any of these camera. The process is just different. is the process worth the cost. For me, yes. The rangefinder format is what I'm most comfortable with, and enjoy the most. Before anyone starts saying "Rangefinders are outdated and inefficient in today's commercial industry", I'll agree with technological advancements it is not the most efficient way to shoot. However, it is still effective and you can still make the photo. I can manual focus faster than some autofocus camera's out there, and so can many other photographers out there. Going back to the process, the way you get to an image may not effect the quality of that particular image, but it is the process of photography and makes a person a better photographer; in which inspires them to continue to shooting. Sony, Canon, and Nikon are amazing companies with amazing performing products. They celebrate and goal themselves on the technological advancements of photography. Leica, Hasselblad, Voigtlander are artisan companies that celebrate the art and heritage of photography which is just as important as the tech side. With that, they offer amazing craftsmanship, quality, and homage to where the art came from. Their products demand more user interaction and thought process. Leica also still manufactures film cameras! Which is amazing! And Fujifilm, well, they are caught somewhere in the middle haha. They are killing off the "film" part of Fujifilm which is a bummer, but the flagship X-Pro2 and XT-2 are clear homages to Japanese cult classic cameras... cough* CONTAX G2 cough* CONTAX RTS cough* In the end, shoot what makes you shoot more!

I'm always amazed at the venom that comes out when Leica is discussed. Leica cameras existed long before hipsters came into existence and will be here long after the term is no longer relevant. If you enjoy shooting without autofocus then borrow or rent a Leica and see if it works for you. Please don't talk about price because there are many who complain about Leica and who have thousands and thousands of dollars of cameras and lenses sitting around that they do not use. If you have a Leica you really only need a decent 35mm lens to achieve fantastic results. But you have to love working with the limitations that this puts on you. You will become a better photographer with limitations rather than with all the technology in the world. But then you can also get great results from a camera that costs $100 if you have the talent.

Exactly. Most of the greatest photographers of the 20th Century used a Leica camera, a single prime lens and shot "hipster shit" and street/documentary photography. A lot of digital photographers really need to read a few photo books and have their perspective on photography altered.

Just had an opportunity to use this camera for several hours the other day I gotta say it was really nice. However, it is not worth 1/4th of the asking price. If Fujifilm put out the same camera at the same cost, they're be laughed out the door and no one will buy one. People justify the cost by calling it the "Leica experience", just another form of Cognitive bias. The only thing Leica M series can claim to be better over its competitors is its build quality, that's it. I get it, its a rich man's toy and I'm not their target audience blah blah but there is no denying there is a hoard of clueless photographers out there who blindly worship the Leica name and dream about one day owning one. Some of these clueless people do go onto own one and perpetuate the myths surrounding the camera, feeding the vicious cycle. Why can't reviewers see past the Leica name and price and straight up compare it against the competitors and tell us if its any good? Well of course they won't because Leica will lose in almost every department and it will shatter the carefully crafted illusion.
