Hi, thanks for the explanation of the focusing issue. It sounds like there is a small focus shift like when shooting IR film. It's a little surprising because you're still recording visible light which the camera and lens are calibrated for. It must be pretty subtle since you only see it at longer focal lengths and wider apertures. Anyway, thanks for another great video!

Great tip! But unfortunately not everyone can do this in Korea since people are pretty defensive and might get offended when their photos are taken without a consent. I guess only a few if not none wouldve come up to you and complain about it because you are obviously, by look, a foreigner.

I’m struggling choosing between a Q and an M. If you shoot all manual, why not shoot with an M? (Other than cost) why would you choose the Q instead? Thanks - big fan of your channel and work!

The Q is so easy to shoot with. If you shoot only 28mm and shoot both side by side, then you would probably also pick the Q over an M.

I have another question for you...you made your experiences with a lot of Leicas....withe the Monochrome and also with the Q (in B&W?) mode... My first question would as i saw you shoot in color with the Q and convert them to bw because as i understood its possible to get more possibilities in f.ex. Lightroom to get a specific look... So the BW setting to direct shoot in BW with the Q you would probably not recommend if somebody has time to sit doen and to get the best out of his pictures... 2) The monochrome shoots directly in BW. What is in your experience the major difference between the end results then? Is it really like that that the monochrome has its own standard which is hard to beat? (I only know my Q) Thank you for taking time. Kind Regards Marcel

When shooting Raw there is no option for bw only on any camera except the Monochrom models. It's always better to convert in software later because you simply have more control. The Monochrom is nice but was really annoying from time to time, especially the highlights got lost extremely fast and the minimum ISO of 320 was also a pain in the ass. If I wanna shoot bw I rather shoot film with my M6, so I got rid of the Monochrom and I am not missing it at all.

Great video, thank u. I wanna know that which knid of exposure measuring u use usually. Coz i feel that auto measuring is totally unreliable but manual measuring is taking quite a few seconds. second question is whether exposure compensation affects image quality.
@therealsirrobin
6 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I usually use matrix metering. In general it is hard to recommend what to use best because it comes down to what works best for you. Exposure compensation is not degrading image quality it is rather a tool to influence the camera meter reading. If used in a wrong way it might to a messed up exposure and therefore influence your output in a bad way.

Hi Robin and congratulations for the work you do. Just one question: but if you set f11 and focus at 0.70 you will have a very small depth of field, about 50 cm. Outside this area and in the background will be all out of focus. Correct me if I'm wrong! Thanks in advance and congratulations again.

Hallo Robin, super Kanal! Besteht das Fokusproblem bei Filtern auch bei SLRs? Der Sucher wird ja über den Spiegel durchs Objektiv geleitet und daher dürfte kein Fokus Shift entstehen, richtig? Das Problem bei den Rangefinders liegt ja am separaten Sucher nehme ich an. Ich hoffe du kannst mir weiterhelfen. Beste Grüße aus Frankfurt

Regarding the redfilter issue, it doesn't make sense, because when you are focusing you are looking through the viewfinder and the small window on the opposite side of the viewfinder, Therefore not through the lens, and the lens focuseres only to what you set it to, wich is very precise. The only reason should be that the red light hitting the sensor is having another wavelength and therefore a different focal plane. ;) Love your videos also, good work ;)
@therealsirrobin

It makes sense if you take into account that different wave lengths of light have different focus distances and a red filter will favor specific wave lengths and that will shift your focus. Just google it and you will find more on that topic.
