EVERYTHING vs. Leica
I took five cameras across Death Valley and Route 66 to find out — is the Leica M11P Safari still the king? Honest field results, a surprising film confession, and one clear answer. Featuring the Leica M11, Leica M6, Fujifilm GFX100RF, Hasselblad X2Dii, and a Pentax 645. Try the Very Good Camera in Beta for iOS! https://testflight.apple.com/join/6DC...

One camera per situation, one lens per camera, no safety nets. From a commercial shoot with the Ineos Grenadier at Alabama Hills to medium format film on the Death Valley dunes, every camera got a real assignment. In this video I break down the experience and output of each — what each camera got right, where each one fell short, and what three years of shooting the M11 has taught me about what I actually want from a camera. Spoiler: I also finally say something out loud about 35mm film that I've been avoiding for a while.
