It was about time. I think my home country was one of the last European countries without an official Leica Store in the capital. But today, this will change. After the summer, we’ll be able to shop in the brand new Leica Store in Amsterdam. I’ll probably be seeing you in Amsterdam soon.

Wish list for Leica SL firmware 3.1 update
Recently, Leica improved the SL with the release of a new firmware version. Version 3.0 features a couple of outstanding improvements: continuous exposure preview is my personal favorite. Here’s an excellent overview of the improvents: I think Leica did very well with this update, but I think there’s still room for improvement. After surfing around […]
Q&A: which flash trigger system for your Leica?
This morning I received this email: Hi Joeri I was reading your review on the Leica SL and I am buying one very soon and your review is really helpful but want to ask you one question. What is the flash setup you where using, what I mean the flash and the wireless trigger that […]
First look: the TvO ventilated lens shade
I just received a ventilated lens shade for my Leica Summicron-M 35/2.0 ASPH (version V) from Thorsten von Overgaard. I think the Leica M9P in black is still the sexiest Leica ever made, but with this ventilated lens shade, it definitely looks even better. A more elaborate review will follow soon, but I just wanted […]

The Leica Summilux-SL 50/1.4 ASPH review
When the Leica Summilux-SL 50/1.4 was released, it was not the lens that some SL shooters had hoped for. While most SL shooters love their cameras, they wanted something considerably smaller and more light weight than the excellent, but heavy Leica 24-90 zoom lens. Something they could mount on their SL and walk around with […]
One shot with the Leica 180 APO-Elmarit 2.8 R v1
Last week I visited the only supplier of occasion Leica lenses that I can reach by bike. This guy has a very broad collection of old and new(ish) Leica lenses, plus lots of other interesting brands. Always cool to stop by and check out some lenses. One of the new lenses that he just was […]
The Novoflex EOS to Leica SL adapter: does it work at all?
The Leica SL is all about versatility. Any lens can be attached to this camera, as long as you have an adapter that fits. But what about auto focus lenses, does that work too? If you want to use Canon lenses on your Leica SL and want the auto focus to work, there is currently […]
The Billingham 107 review
The 7-series is one of the newer series of the famous British bag manufacturer and the 107 is the smallest version. If you’re into Leica photography, this is probably the bag that will attract your attention. The individual members of the 7-series have a few things in common: they’re all made out of Fybrenite (meaning […]
Leica M9 sensor replacement no longer completely free for older cameras

Until 15 August 2017, we will continue to offer […]
