I follow your videos for awhile. Do you accept a suggestion though? : ) Go beyond your own taste as far as grading concerns. Your footage asks for multiple paths IMO.

Be welcome @jsfilmz to the forum ! What glass set BTW?

Should we infer BRAW is lossy then? What about visually lossless Blackmagic claims? ; -)

It is almost as much as saying that people live completely free in a democracy. Well, they live more free than under an authoritarian regime, very likely. I see compressed raw in the same way. E : -)

Threads are a good place for healthy discussion, trade of ideas and alike. As much as life, the hell is full of good intentions, which doesn't mean we must give up to listen something outside our bubble. Miracles happen at times, more often than strictly a skeptical standpoint makes the best to still believe, there's variably the chance of a rainbow when rains ; -)

Has to? This doesn't match some information I've got along my course : ) Even though, that argument of a fine must apply in a way or another, I wouldn't surprise myself if there is some gap within the legal text which may end explored in a way or another as well. It may happen to be more a matter of requirements fulfillment than anything else, I guess. I still stand to see any Leica product with the 'made in Portugal' label but they have an important factory right here. A bit weird, isn't it? ; -)

I don't know about this specific model. I just reproduce what I've heard from people working there. AFAIK there are two manufacturing units. People in one of those units hinted in that route already above-posted.

Yeah, I guess so. In another OT note though, AF was improved with the new firmware update. I much prefer the manual focus lenses where it is quicker to have full access to aperture and focus rings with that large monitor facility. That LCD + focus assist combination rules over any AF out there. Moreover, you can even handle accurate AF tap-to-focus as you wish. Even without the focus assist I had no time to set up yesterday noon before to push the recording button for mere casual family shooting. As fast as I would do it with a smartphone. Well, I'd even say, much quicker interface experience : D I had downloaded the new firmware version the night before. Do not forget to firstly press the focus button if your computer won't recognize your camera when you'll update the firmware. Focus seems easy to catch from that lovely monitoring surface. Impressive tool indeed. I wouldn't pick any other capture device for motion picture instead... as simple as that : -)

Funny. I didn't find any delay. Yesterday, I went to my nephew baptism. I arrived very delayed with traffic coming from another town. I forgot to add the SSD, used to the SD card to record ProRes. In a few seconds, I picked up my SSD from a tiny photo bag and started to shoot BRAW Q5 practically instantaneously... I did find zero delay in-camera to be pretty honest : -) BTW, in a word: BEAUTIFUL. This is more than a camera, more than a format, this is a dream to finally become true.

Master counts, not much else : -)

Really? Real world feeling is instantaneously... as much as ANY other similar device. Actually, it is. I feel people outside tend to see it as a RED ONE. It isn't in every aspect whatsoever. Not even 5:1 compressed raw. You can reach 3:1 or constant quality mode(s) recording raw, let alone not complicated at all, so...

I shoot 4K (B)_RAW and am a proud fanboy now! LOL ; -)

Exactly the same impression from some little information so far though, so yours counts indeed : ) Thanks for your input expressed here. : -)

Seems they rule all the other areas except electronics: https://leica.pt/assembly/?lang=en#

As matter of fact, same thought here and asked exactly that. The people with whom I've chatted with, they were very proud of their product. Their info seemed legit to me. Thanks for the link. I'm afraid this is not the whole picture of the real thing, though. I just reproduce the contact I had in person. Maybe some models are in one factory, other models in the other one. But even when I asked about that, they hinted me the Portuguese factory is their main production house. I just know what I listened in first hand, that is, from people working there. I will even try to reach them again with that one and check that.

What I've heard from people inside there, is: Design and final assembly, as well, packaging happen in Germany. Everything else in their Portuguese unit in V. N. Famalicão, which means the most part indeed. I've retained something like 80-85% last time I heard, a year ago or so. That 'made in Germany' is well worthy and one of their major selling points. Reason why they do it like that. Other than that, they would probably have the whole manufacturing line in Portugal. Not my words though : -) I can give you another example. In 70-80s my family was used to pick up TV sets only about 20 kms away of Leica's factory today, from Grundig factory in Braga (our first two color TV sets came from there... Blackmagic color science was still a bit far away then LOL my father was friend of their man in charge there, a nice German engineer BTW, I was their volleyball team's player in mid-80s, we were used to put our eyes on those girls with German surnames from mixed marriages : D) and every units had that famous 'made in Germany' graciously inscribed there despite to be fully manufactured and assembled in my native country (I guess, only packing was used to happen in Nuremberg, very likely, not sure of this latter one though ; -)

Mate, Portuguese origin can't be plastic... Our country sums 9 centuries of history! LOL ; -)

Germany? I don't think so... https://leica.pt/?lang=en German Design, made in Portugal... About 40 kms away of where I am now : -)

Windows 10 support?

That weight would be really nice, expensive though : )

Wait for his next Sony... ; -)

Indeed. Missed the video. Shocking for superb in fact or anything else?

Indeed. There's no similar monochrome anywhere else... Absolute. Magistral. Unique of a kind. Your glass match perfectly fits to couple your luminous framing as well, keep up your good shooting : ) Just waitin' for X-H2 to arrive in 2020 very likely to follow the promising Nokia 9 Pureview B&W much earlier : -)

Not only him, as well, more than two hundred of commenters so far there in the respective comments section to follow 1.2K likes vs 16 thumbsdown, about 100 against 1 actually ; ) Fully agreed, Glenn. Alas, human beings are not so linear to live with their own options route : ) Well, not really a surprise when people thoroughly catch a glimpse of their own resources to become wastefully outdated, let alone when they were prior seen as pure first-rate just a few time earlier not so long back : -)

Some criticism is welcome, some other is people getting a justification for themselves why they don't need to perform some investment instead : ) Most part of time because they've just oriented their funds in some other direction. Worse when people pretend to convince the world of their own choices in disguise of intended facts.
