Hi All —

 

You might remember me from my extensive Q field test back in February — http://craigmod.com/sputnik/leica_q/

 

Well, the Q and a Monochrom (246) came on an eight day hike with photographer Dan Rubin (http://instagram.com/danrubin) and me, and we came back with a new book of photographs called KOYA BOUND.

 

The Kickstarter for it just launched today:

There's probably something tremendously gauche about starting a topic about a Kickstarter project, but I figured this would be a great place for Dan and I to do some Q&A if you had any Qs requiring As. 

 

Dan shot with the Q, and I shot with the Monochrom. 

 

We walked for eight days. We got rained on quite a bit. We sweat all over the things. Banged them into stuff. Both cameras were troopers. 

 

Dan was shooting on the Q at (obviously) 28mm, and I was shooting at 50mm with a Summilux on the 246. 

 

We took about 3,000 photos in total over the eight days. And we both carried a spare battery although I don't think either of us needed it (the 246 could have almost gone the whole walk on a single charge). 

 

I've attached a couple of shots, but the uploader doesn't allow for much. You can see more here:

It was a great walk, and we had a whole lot of fun shooting and thinking about this book for the last six months. If you have any questions, send them over. 

 

Warmly,

Craig (& Dan)
