Shooting a Film Leica M6 vs Digital Leica M9 in Tokyo

[MegaDorimon]

Awesome vids Eric.

[muzglimy]

i love not having a meter in my camera, makes things easier and is less annoying.

I got the chance to use that exact same Leica M6 from Todd it was my 1st Leica : )... I intern for Todd I met you at the "You Are Here" Leica/ThinkTank sponsored gallery... Keep up the good work : )

I totally hear you. Went to NY a few weeks ago and shot film - made me only want to shoot what I would want to keep. Made me really think about what I wanted to capture!

[MrSnapFlash]

Haha, you have some awesome friends!... I wish one of my friends would turn around and give me a M6 haha! xD

Imean The feel it is so hard to emulate with digital.

[MrYerbaMate1]

Your videos ROCK!!!

Hey Eric, love your vids man, all the way from Melbourne Australia...

Film is pretty cool to shoot with... I'm back on it and it is so true - you do slow down and take your time. The learning curve also includes understanding the characteristics of the film you are shooting as well it makes it very very interesting.

Keep up the great work buddy!

Love your videos Eric!! I actually enjoy watching and listening to videos most of the time, so this is really great... plus, ever since my Bro told and showed me about how focusing is done with a Leica M, I've been more interested in trying a rangefinder. PEACE !! :D

I see you fellas had a film shopping spree at Yodobashi, I bought a couple of the film cases myself while i was there.

Quick comment about the Fujifilm cases that Bellamy Hunt sells: I bought two of them (without film), and I was amazed how quickly I received them from Tokyo. Also, I feel we are all very fortunate that we can shoot digital OR film -- 20 years ago that wasn't possible, and 20 years from now it may not be either. Great videos, Eric. Keep up the great work.

Can you write or make a quick video about how to shoot flash with the m6 classic? not sure exactly how it works

[firehandszarb]

you can send me the m6 if you dont want it

[goodtimes616]

Wow ok you get some really cool gifts. First the M9 then the M6...

[KonsTrue10]

nice vid. I think we'd all like to see all those photos after u get them scanned!

[writerman242]

I posted a comment a couple of days ago. It wasn't flattering, it's true. However to see that it's been removed suggests that my comments were perhaps not strong enough. I did NEVER consider Eric to be unethical, not really. However to remove comments one doesn't like is not a good sign is it? Makes me sad for our work

[Thekaratedude99]

I love your videos keep doing what you are doing its AWSOME! :)

[brothersickly]

Dude, older Leica Ms before the M6 had built in light meters. It's called the M5. And no, the M6 is not the best value film M with a light meter. It's again the M5, grasshopper.

Welcome to the world of film Eric.

All the best!

BUY FILM, NOT MEGAPIXELS!

[aarondkeogh]

my favorite bit about the video was the streettoggs bit

[sflwa]

I love the videos too, yes.

Still interested in settings used for flash (shutter speed, f etc)

[DJFADERAL]

I am experimenting with an old agfa 120 at the moment. Film definitely has it's place. I also just got a Resecky 35mm TLR. So cool shooting with it and can hardly wait to see the results.

[AttilaS77]

Love the videos Eric, film is awesome, I started shooting it 1.5 years ago and haven't looked back 8-) I love my M6 8)

[Lainer1]

I like the videos. You're very enthusiastic, and it's catchy. What is those rolls of film in those boxes about though? Is that guy selling them?

[3gappleprosync]

Your videos are awesome Eric, I love when you bring along the Go Pro as well.

[trvr]

Hey Eric - Don't worry about a script - your spontaneous video updates are awesome!

[OceansVideo]

Dear Eric, love your videos. Especially when you go out shooting and film it with the GoPro camera. Its so helpful to see how you or crazy ;o) Charlie approaches to people and how you shoot. Continue your great work, we follow you silently :o) Thank you for sharing ! ! !
