A Leica Introduction workshop with Acarilia
A few weeks ago, Acarilia sent me an email with the request for an introduction workshop. She got interested in the Leica system after she ditched her big and heavy Nikon DSLR. She was also in doubt which M would be most suitable for her: the M8, M9 or M240. Since I have all three, […]
Q&A: Do you prefer the SL over the M?
I’ve been exchanging emails with a follower and I thought I might share this question: So you mainly use SL for more precision/posed kind of work? Would you pick the M262/M-P(240) over SL? This was my answer: Yes and no: for precision work the SL work much better. It doesn’t need to be posed. I […]

The Leica 80/1.4 Summilux-R review
With the increase in prices of used Leica M glass, the legendary Leica Summilux-M 75/1.4 has become too expensive for a lot of Leica shooters. But there is some good news for these Mandler loving shooters: the Leica Summilux-R 80/1.4 is still reasonably affordable and it’s very similar to the 75/1.4. All you need is […]
Leica SL drops 1000 Euro in price
Today Leica announced that the SL will we lowered in price by 1000 Euro. That means that the SL will retail for slightly more than 6000 Euro. By now, it is significantly cheaper than the Leica M10. This is bad news for SL owners, as the prices of used SL cameras (not that I’ve seen […]
A short video shot with the Leica SL
While the SL is primarily a stills camera, it is also capable of capturing very good video. The 120 frames per second frame rate of the SL is praised, even among serious videographers. I laced up my inline skates, mounted my Leica SL on a Glidecam and shot this video. Leica SL, Minolta MC 58/1.2, […]
