I’m working on an article for a dutch photography magazine. That means going through a big pile of images that I shot during our five months canoeing and hiking trip. Although this picture didn’t make it to the selection, I thought it’d be nice to share it with you. Leica M9 with Zeiss 35/2.8

The Leica X-U full review
We just got back from an epic trip through Norway and Sweden. We spent five months hiking and canoeing in some of the most beautiful areas in Scandinavia. Whereas the Leica M is a light weight and compact camera, it is not waterproof, so we were quite happy when Leica decided to lend us the […]
Artisan & Artist ACAM E25R strap review
Your Leica camera deserves a good strap. While the supplied strap of your M is functional and very light weight, it is not the best strap on the market. Luckily, you can choose any strap you like these days. Leather, nylon, long, short, red, black…you can have it all. Artisan & Artist introduced their ‘easy […]
Almost home again
There has been less articles and reviews in the last few months than you are used to. In two weeks, we’ll be home again and I’ll start working on new Leica oriented content. While you wait for this, please enjoy this 16 second exposure of my tent in the middle of Rogen, one of the […]
Among ferns
We have seen a lot of fjell area in both Sweden and Norway: harsh, barren country where vegetation is limited to slow growing small plants. But here, on the Padjelantaleden we suddenly came across some kind of outburst of ferns. Lovely. Oh, and the Leica M9… the way the sensor renders colour and details. It […]
225 grams of tele sharpness
I’ve said it before, the Leica Tele-Elmarit 90/2.8, made in Canada, gets you a lot of tele sharpness in a tiny package with an even better weight: only 225 grams. While I lug my Noctilux to almost every wedding that I shot in the last year, on trips like these I truly appreciate the weight […]
See what you can do with the Leica X-U
The Leica X-U is a great camera for everybody that is into outdoor sports. For canoeing, it’s even better. The X-U is the only camera with a big sensor that can be used while wearing it on the strap in your canoe. In this movie you can see it in action at 3:50. But of […]
Why saving weight isn’t always a good idea
Last week we made a trip through Rondane, a beautiful national park in Norway. While in our canoe, weight is not the most important thing, on a hike it is. In order to save some weight we decided to bring one camera for filming and photography, so we took the Sony A7S and a few […]
Leica workshop: pics from the participants
I have done quite a few Leica workshops this year and I thought I’d show some of the results of the participants. I’m not sure who shot which picture, but I’ll add my comment below. Interested in a Leica workshop for yourself? I’m planning new workshops in November and there will probably be new workshops […]
