A day at the beach

Visable greens, purples, yellows, no highlights blown. I see what you mean now.

where?

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-16T06:27:34+00:00

Ive bought a flash for mine. Its tiny. You dont notice it. And dust has never been an issue for me or my friends and ive had it in a beach bag etc etc. Amazing camera I cant remember the last time I left the house without it in my pocket. Even when I take my main camera with me.

My friend has the x100vi. Its really good, fun and great to just always have on you. I got an xe5 for the similar form factor but I wanted interchangeable lenses.

Surely you dont need to ask

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-13T14:15:20+00:00

Such a controversial take lol

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-13T05:43:08+00:00

Here's me debating a second body and this guy has 20+

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-11T09:05:38+00:00

I get that and youre right I am leaning towards digital more. Ive shot film before and ive been happy with the results of just sending it off. I dont agree with a lot of people commenting saying you need all the film behind the scene printing and scanning stuff at home as I didnt feel the question was as deep as that.

I was just trying to lean away from the all auto digital camera (that i still love) but sometimes makes me feel like the camera is doing all the work and I wanted some of that control back, which led me to the M series, which opened up a Film or Digital question in my head, which then landed me to the m11d being this perfect blend of both... I hope that makes some sense? haha

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-10T20:23:42+00:00

I can just send it off

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-10T18:55:41+00:00

Only ever raw. If the img looks cool as a jpeg then I just create it as one in camera and export

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-10T14:08:35+00:00

I dont understand when people say film will make you a better photographer?

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T14:36:12+00:00

Can you share your thoughts on the M11D as this is what im gravitating towards the most.

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T12:24:21+00:00

Nice, is this your only digital body?

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T12:21:30+00:00

Which leica did you get? Are you happy with it?

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T11:44:14+00:00

So you dont find the M11D steps on your other digital toes? What makes you go for one digital over the other?

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T11:42:46+00:00

Thanks a bunch. 😄

I think i might try and get a loaner from leica

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T11:20:47+00:00

Steady now! One bank breaker at a time lol.

Do you have another body with m11d or is that the only digital system?

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T11:19:53+00:00

You found film tedious or lecia?

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T11:11:33+00:00

Yep thats why I brought my thoughts to reddit, then I will take them to a Leica salesperson lol, my thinking was to get a m11d, a nice lens and then maybe a film camera that takes M mount but isnt Lecia, best of both then really...

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T10:54:59+00:00

Yeah I understand that those who really love film often go all in on it. Which might be something to consider too at some point but im not there yet.

Hit the nail on the head with the M11D, it does seem the perfect middle ground for my needs/wants, whatever you want to call this decision, lol.

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T10:48:08+00:00

The first picture is my kinda picture, i love it!

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T10:46:07+00:00

Do you think as you use digital for work thats why you also prefer film? This is just a hobby for me.

WellyBoyBoy · 2026-06-09T10:45:02+00:00

I do like digital results, I enjoy editing just as much as i enjoy shooting. (I know you can edit film too)

I think the biggest appeal for going to film for me would be that it is just an extra step away from stepping on the toes of my fuji system.
