Advertisement Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Hi bags27, Take a look here New (!) review of the Q. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Leica Guy Posted October 17, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 17, 2018 That was fun. It fed all my fan-boy love of the Q. If only...! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has somekind of deliberate and easy going pace. Completely in line in how you should use the Leica Q. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Latin were your native language you'd know what it means. Of course, if Latin were your native language, you'd be dead for at least 600 years.... 😀 Edited October 18, 2018 by bags27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I felt this morning after an over-abundant diner with too much wine yesterday evening.😉 Luckily a good cup of coffee cured me and miraculously gave me back 657 years.😀 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted October 18, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) well, then, I expect after too much wine last night and feeling 600 years older, you began speaking in Latin--or at least in some other strange tongue!

Voxen Posted October 19, 2018 Share #9 Posted October 19, 2018 Looks like an Actor Studio casting ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted October 19, 2018 Share #10 Posted October 19, 2018 He does look like he could have been sent over by Central Casting. Thanks bags for this. He is from an upscale suburb of Philadelphia, and all the video and stills (including a model who I've also shot) in the You Tube are in Manhattan. Since he clearly has an arrangement with B&H it makes sense he's shooting it here. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sls Posted October 20, 2018 Share #11 Posted October 20, 2018 I didn't understand a word of what he said. All I know is I got a Q the day it was released in June 2015 as my dealer had a couple come in and only one pre-ordered, and I happened to be passing his shop. So I was £2,900 poorer, but still love it and was using it today, leaving the M10 at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zampelis Posted October 22, 2018 Share #12 Posted October 22, 2018 Thank you Ken, lovely review and that guy has a quite calming voice... As a funny note, I randomly skipped at 5:32 and for a second I thought he was having a stroke!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share #13 Posted October 22, 2018 Thanks, Dimitris. I believe he is formerly a successful investment guy who gave it all up for photography. And, in fact, he has a number of reviews on YouTube, some of which are very, very good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdannn Posted October 23, 2018 Share #14 Posted October 23, 2018 It was a great, laid back narrative and I loved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likealot Posted October 23, 2018 Share #15 Posted October 23, 2018 The narrative sounded as if it belonged in one of the scenes of Grand Budapest Hotel (the movie). The acting was a bit overkill and his facial expressions and well thought pauses and vocal tone changes got on my nerves after a while. I am not quite sure why he was singing praises to the remote app because the latter in my opinion is the worst feature of the Q and an absolute nightmare to use. I do hope that the Fotos app does turn up to be as easy to use as he says and not just the usual hype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germans use Latin grammar (Mich und Mir?). We English are just in a mess, with a bit of everything, as always. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malabito Posted October 28, 2018 Share #18 Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Loquacious = talks a lot of bla bla bla and no essence. Basically the same could have been said in a few words. I couldn't pass the first 5 min.... a lot of talk and no pictures, this is photography, not theology, and seems to be an issue with many Leica users, is all about the philosophy, but where are the pictures?

Could you please elucidate this last part? I'll understand and respect the fact that you have problems with his style of reviewing...as did some others over here. It's your last sentence that confuses me a bit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
