I absolutely love Black and White and looking at getting a Leica M5 . So so nervous about the purchase. I don’t shoot film that much. I am wanting to shoot it more . This is “bad” motivation for the G.A.S. Thanks for such a nice video. I like how you also critique you photos as I do .

The M5 is a really great choice. I don’t have much experience with other Leicas, but I’ve always been happy with it. It’s a very intuitive camera to use and gives great results. Thanks for watching!

For anyone this video motivates to assemble a rig like this one, please note that a 50mm 1.4 lens designed for full frame 35mm photography is probably the worst choice you can make. Lenses like this one have to give up something in favor of that fast maximum aperture, and what they ditch is "curvature of field". That means that the center or edges of its image can be optimally sharp, but not both. In shooting the real world, that's not so important, as subjects in life tends to be at different distances from the camera anyway. In scanning this way, it is critical the lens focus its sharpest them the subject is a flat plane. That's why most of these videos recommend a true macro lens, which is optimized for that feature, but they are relatively expensive. A much less expensive alternative is a good enlarging lens, which also require a flat field to function. For this use, a lens of 75mm to 135mm with a 6-element design would be best. His rig here seems okay for images to be used in noncritical areas, like phones or computer monitors, but if he starts making prints of any size, he's screwed.

Thanks for the in-depth explanation. My setup has changed substantially since this video came out. The biggest change is exactly what you're talking about. My 50mm lens wasn't cutting it any more for what i needed so i've swapped it for a 90mm Tamron copy stand lens, and it has made a huge difference in my scanning. I'm by no means a professional and appreciate any feed back from anyone with more experience.

Thanks Ethan! I'm actually in Gresham - maybe I should check out Bluemoon Camera. I'm waiting on some books on the M's. While the 6 seems to be the one everyone wants they're stupid expensive and it's really about the glass - not so much the body.

@@garysmith7545 Totally. The lenses are super nice. If you’re not too worried about the body, the Leica CL (made in collaboration with Minolta) is a pretty cool Leica body that’s compact, but gives you that M mount. It’s very inexpensive compared to the M line of cameras. I haven’t gotten to use one personally, but it was on my radar for a while.

i shoot most of my movies with a nikkor 28mm f2.8 ai-s mf on an m43 sensor, so like a 58mm equivalent. i dont think i'd like that distance as much full frame, but i like it a lot cropped. the best use i get out of it is to just treat it like whatever distance i want-use it for closeups, use it for two shots, use it for head to toe, use it for landscape, doesnt matter. the 28mm i use is so sharp all the way to the edges, and the lines are so straight, that it can be whatever i want it to be.

I am using my CONTAX G2 with all the G lens. I like using 16mm 21mm and 28mm. My favorite is 21mm for street photography. 35mm is still too tight for me. 21mm is good for some close-up and wide enough for things like narrow streets and back-street corners. I don't really like using anything narrower than 35mm. G45 is a bit too tight for me.

@@Ethanlyle_photo It's full auto, meaning that you can do whatever composition and don't have to worry about exposure and stuff. I shot 36 rolls in a week. On average I can shoot around 5 rolls per day, at an interesting location. It's quite fun to use. But you know, electronic film cameras tend to have problems. And I would recommend trying 16mm and 21mm G lenses, they are challenging but they produce shockingly great images.

Nice glass! (I don't use that phrase loosley now 😅) I like the 50mm, I really think its neat because its perfect sitttin lens..meaning I enjoy using it whenever I'm sittin somewhere chillin especially diners etc. Its also fun to see some squeeze and tighter angles in a scene. I am addicted to using it vertically in portrait orientation though ha ha. I love shooting liminal night scenes, nature/forest too! I actually do a lot of shooting with a 50 on a tripod tbh..just feels fun to me, slows me down and treat the scene with my full attention, and thinking why I want to move closer.. further away etc instead of aimlessly pacing and overthinking it. Love the channel, would love to see bits of your films too! Cheers!❤ 🍻

I've been shooting instant for a couple years, and i think the mm equivalent of most the cameras I've used has been around 35mm or wider. Jumping into non-instant 35mm film for the first time, and using a 50mm kit lens; Its been a bit of a learning curve in terms of having a more narrow view with my shots. I've been thinking about getting a 28 or 35. Perhaps even one that's variable?

I use a zoom lens with my Canon and it's nice to have a wide range of focal lengths. The only problem is its a much longer lens so bringing it around is sometimes a pain. 28-35 I feel are the sweet spot for me most of the time.

Personally I love shooting more sad American landscapes for my personal work, but I've been experimenting with gear, style, and types of photography with my KZitem channel. I love learning and pushing myself when it comes to photography. As well, videography has open up a whole new can of worms as it comes to shooting style, editing, lighting, as well as learning audio. It's been a wild ride here on KZitem. Can't wait for the next episode!
