My friend Peter from LeicaRumors published this very interesting blog. Before jumping to conclusions, there’s a couple of things that can be read in this statement: Apparently, Leica has either run out of original M9 CCD sensors, or they no longer want to replace the broken sensors with other -possibly- faulty sensors. Leica is working […]

Wednesday wedding pic: the first look
One of the key moments on a wedding is the moment the bride meets the groom. In most cases, the couple hasn’t met yet, and they have no clue what their husband or wife to be will be wearing. Sometimes this moment, often called ‘the first look’ happens in a somewhat dim sleeping room, but […]
Tuesday Travel: Nightfall in Trinidad
Trinidad, Cuba, is said to be one of the best places when it comes to travel photography, but I disagree. Havanna is much better, because Havanna is bigger, busier, more crowded and therefore perfectly suitable for ‘under the radar’ photography. I was happy to stay there only for two days. In fact, the best places […]
The Leica 24/3.8 Elmar-M ASPH review
The 24mm focal length is a bit of an odd one for Leica cameras. The reason is very simple: this is the first wide angle which you’ll need an extra viewfinder for, since the built in viewfinder only works with 28mm and longer lenses. Of course, some people just use the very outer edges of […]
Wednesday wedding pic: the coolest ring bearer ever
Sometimes I make friends on a wedding. People send me postcards from their honeymoons and birth cards of their babies. But a few weeks ago I became friends with Guus, a six year old boxer with quite a character. He only left the party when the music started to get loud and all day he […]
Tuesday Travel: dinner on the beach
Nothing beats cooking your own dinner on a deserted beach in the great outdoors. Just bring a small stove, a pot and some food. The view is the best and it’s for free. I just don’t remember where this was. It makes me think that putting a GPS in a camera isn’t such a terrible […]
Q&A: which lenses?
Hi Joeri, I like your lens reviews! I was just wondering, what are you using now lens wise, to shoot weddings? Best, Adam Well, thanks for mailing of course. My set of lenses depend on the wedding I shoot. If there is a lot of walking involved and light is abundant, my set is this: […]
Wednesday Wedding Pic: the bike
You won’t believe how many times I’ve been asked how I shot this image. It couldn’t have been documentary, could it? Well, it sure is. I don’t stage my images, because I don’t like to and because it is my trademark. If I would stage them, people would find out soon enough. Trust me, there […]
Tuesday Travel: Bulbs
I just love this picture. The greasy elements in the background, the greenish colour cast of the artificial light. While it isn’t pretty at all, it does make me smile. I took this shot somewhere in Kowloon, HongKong. Leica M9 with 35 summicron Want to know more about how to use your rangefinder camera on […]
The new Leica Q?
LaVidaLeica comes with an interesting news flash: they think the new Leica Q will be announced in a few days and will feature a full frame 24Mp sensor with a fixed 28/1.7 lens. While the discussion has started to heat up, I’ve heard many people saying this camera should have a 35mm lens instead. While […]
