Excellent...I feel the same about my Lumix LX100II. It don't even carry my large mirrorless camera anymore and am getting all my lenses, bodies and batteries together to sell. The only thing that has me looking into the Q series is the 28mm f1.7 and the resolution, which I want for making prints. Still, I am happy with my current camera; it goes with me everywhere, even on commutes to work. I think everyone needs to wait before buying any camera and use what they already own more to see if it truly is a need or a want to have the latest. I find that by waiting the Universe will provide the answer and opportunity to provide me all that I need.

I really enjoyed your video and I share 100% your view, connection and emotion to my Q2. I had (and still have) many cameras, but this one has allowed me to see the world in a different way.

[bartpeterleroy]

Absolutely agree with you! My Q2 gets so much of my time! Fantastic camera, which I take with me around the World.

Nice images, Toshiki!
I agree with your conclusions and how using the 28 over time feels like the barriers between my eye and the camera dissolves. I use the Ricoh GRIII, and it feels like an extension of my body. Operation is natural, fluid, and most importantly: fast.

I am from London, but I live I México City with my wife. I have experienced the challenges of photographing home and how something I used to find interesting can become too familiar to photograph well. The 28mm is a great way to revive that interest again. Now I try to photograph full scenes, including context of where and when in moments. This means many times I will still step back and try to include more things I used to consider as clutter or mess. A story is often found when including the pieces I thought I didn't want.

I subscribed to follow your journey. ✌️

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this camera. It's definitely a modern classic.

[tonyklein]

Excellent video! As a fellow Q2 shooter I could totally relate to your thoughts. It’s really a very special camera and I enjoyed seeing your images. Thanks

I personally like to use a Camera I know how to use. When It becomes an extension of my hand more than some piece of gear. They can come out with new bodies but I think I will stick with what I got for as long as I can and use my favorite focal lengths of 28mm 50mm, 85mm and 135mm and be content. Nice video friend.

Yo con mis camaras me siento feliz!! Tengo operativas la 7d, xt1, xpro2 y p1000, variedad para disfrutar todo tipo de luces y momentos.

Love it. I am thinking about buying another Q2 just to keep boxed if my current one dies. Maybe a few batteries and an extra charger to also shelf. There is nothing the Q3 offers that makes this better...Maybe the new evf. your MMV but for me, don't need more. perfect replacement for my M6 of 34 years. love the vids

A lovely film with a gentle aesthetic and beautiful film pieces and some lovely intriguing photos. Thks.

Lovely video as usual. I got myself original Q and fell in love with camera and photography again. It’s light, simple to use and has so many great qualities including very film-like sensor. I have M8 as well and everyone says how the CCD is very film like. I have to disaggree and while M8 colors are really amazing, I find Q to be way more filmic and organic when dealing with RAWs. Straight out of camera BW jpeg is fantastic, I easily go ISO10000 just because of super natural grainy noise. The only addition I got is K&F 1/8 diffusion filter which added even more soft and warm emotions for this camera.

Inspiring as always!
I feel the same way about my XPro1 Fujifilm with the old 18mm f2 that everyone thinks is terrible but I love it.
Thanks so much for these videos, really... thank you. -Dave K

Another great video your work is always amazing and inspiring

[jeetts]

That is so true, feeling part of your camera. That is a beautiful story.

[braaji]

Great video, I might cancel my fuji x100vi pre-order to get leica q2 or q3, any advice?

[charlieb.]

Your videos are so poetic. Well done. I feel the same way about my film camera. It defines how I travel and see the world. Charlie in Virginia.
