Tomorrow one of my old climbing buddies is having a birthday party. We met only recently again, after having not seen each other for years. We don’t climb anymore, but now we tie our ice skates every week and that’s pretty cold as well. I asked him what he’d like to have for his birthday […]

The Leica SL review
The Leica SL is a tough beast to review. I’ve been playing with it for a week and in the meantime a number of people asked me what I think of the SL. The thing is, unlike a lens or a camera bag, with the SL it is pretty hard to say in just a […]
Leica SL try out
This morning I picked up a Leica SL at Transcontinenta – Leica Netherlands – to give it a spin for the next week. First impressions: the SL body is built like a tank, like everyone else says. Also true is what everybody says about the viewfinder: it is amazing. The SL body doesn’t feel really […]
The Cosina Voigtländer super wide heliar 15/4.5 V1 review
When Leica Store Lisse asked me if I’d be interested in shooting the CV15/4.5 I had no doubt what to say. Of course I was interested. First of all, it might be interesting to try all three versions of the CV15/4.5 and this seemed to be a good one to start with. Second, I’m shooting […]
The Leica Q review
Since there are enough in depth reviews of the Leica Q, I won’t do the same. I used the camera for a week and I’ll just discuss a few things that I liked and didn’t like about the Q. While for me usually the biggest test for a camera is its performace on a wedding, […]

The Cosina Voigtländer 35/1.7 Ultron review
Voigtländer is an interesting company. Every time they release a new lens it seems to be hit: sharp, with character and for a very small price, at least, compared to Leica prices. The Voigtländer 50/1.5 Nokton is such a lens: it’s not so much worse than the Leica 50 Summilux and it sells for less […]
Test driving, uhm, canoeing the Leica Q
Last saturday I did a lecture and workshop for Foto Verschoore in Breda. Leica Netherlands was there to facilitate the workshop with M cameras and a few X cameras. When I left, the Leica representative handed me a Q and asked ‘Care for a test drive?’ So that’s what I’m doing this week. Well, unfortunately […]
The Zeiss C Biogon 35/2.8 review
There are many 35mm lenses to chose from when you’re the lucky owner of a rangefinder camera. Leica, Zeiss, Voigtländer; they all have at least a few 35mm lenses. So which one is the best? Well, that depends on what kind of 35 you’re in for. A fast one (1.4 or faster), a normal one […]
Wednesday Leica Workshop day
For my Dutch friends and international friends with loads of airmiles: on November 7th, I’ll be speaking and teaching in Breda for Foto Verschoore. Although I don’t have enough time and individual attention to cover the some information as I do in my workshops: this is a great chance for a very affordable introduction to […]
