Thanks for the first look at the M11-P. I find myself pretty tempted to upgrade from my M10-R.

You are welcome. Can I ask you a question for your recommendation? I already have the Fujifilm GFX 50R which is a great camera. I am considering my next camera purchase now. I am debating between upgrading to the GFX 100 II or buying the Leica M11-P. Would you recommend buying the Leica camera? I shoot a lot of street photography and fine art work.

Really tough one to answer. I have an inherent bias to the Leica M system because of the work I do. It really comes down to what and where you shoot most often. Given the cost, I’d suggest test driving an M11 and/or GFX 100 for a weekend and see which experience you enjoy more. Good luck ✌🏾

Thanks for the great first look! I have a Leica Q-P but I'm selling it, for some reason I just find the Fujifilm X-T4 more fun to use... Maybe I should try an M to see how that feels.

Have you enjoyed Q series cameras or mainly M?

I’ve been using the Q3 for a bit for an upcoming review. I prefer the M.

Beautiful camera and photos. Always love your work Gajan. Heading to Utah next month - any must see places for landscape photography?

Thanks! Make the time to travel across the state. Snow Canyon, Zion, Little Sahara, Salt Flats and Beaver are all worth the travel. Wish I had made time for Moab.

Always excited to see a P model from Leica. I love that script logo... hopeful as well for the encryption. Kinda scares me sometimes what AI will allow in the realm of forgery.

Thanks for your thoughts. Just picked up a M11-P to replace my SL2. Subscribed to your channel after hearing your thoughts on the 35 FLEII where your thoughts really mirrored mine in that it's the perfect god-mode lens....now with close focus! (had the FLE I and it was stuck on my camera)
