The Leica Store in Lisse is like a toy store for photographers: tons of lovely cameras and lenses that are for sale (or not). They were kind enough to let me try this Leica Summicron-M 90 for a few days and although I didn’t have much time on my hands, I decided to give it […]

Tuesday Travel: the kiss
Couple in love. Gent, Belgium. Leica M9-P with 24/3.8 Elmar. Insane sharp lens, see the crop.
I wish you all a very lazy sunday
Nothing beats a light, compact and relatively inexpensive camera. With the Leica M8 I don’t even look at the weather forecast before I go outside. And I don’t bring a big either. If it starts raining, I’ll just stuff it in the pocket of my coat. I wouldn’t do that with my M9 or M240, […]
Leica Noctilux on first wedding of the year
The season has started early. Usually I shoot my fist wedding in April, or the last days of March. This time it was early February. After having spent enough time with my Noctilux in the streets, it’s time to take it out to the wedding field. Without looking at the lens specs in Lightroom, my […]
Tuesday Travel: Umbrellas in a boat
It was a strange day. They say in Patagonia there can be four seasons in one day. Well, in Gent, Belgium, that seemed to be the case as well. As we took shelter for the rain, I suddenly saw this boat full of umbrellas going down the canal. And when I walked towards it, the […]
Q&A: why the M8 again?
As you’ve noticed, you can’t leave replies on this website. And for a reason, because I have no time for moderation. Besides, there are plenty other websites where you can engage in lively discussions. However, I do get quite a lot of emails with all kinds of questions. From now on, I’ll answer these questions […]
The Leica 50 Summilux V2 review
The 50 Summilux was first introduced by Leica in 1959 and back then, this lens was basically a redesigned version of the previous 50 Summarit. Only two years later, it was replaced with the second version, but after that, it’s formula wasn’t redesigned until 2004. This one must have been built in ’65. Like many […]
Tuesday Travel: Imagine
John Lennon Wall in Prague. A terrific place with music, fans and tourists. Bring a camera when you go there. For instance a Leica M9 with a 50 cron (though the exif tells you it’s a 21mm) Want to know more about how to use your rangefinder camera on your travels? Check out my Leica workshops or […]
Look what I bought…
I bought an M8 a couple of years ago as a backup for my M9. When I decided to get another M9, I sold my M8, but regretted it immediately. Now, a few years later, I could’t resist to buy one again. Prices are as low as 1000 Euros and I think it won’t get […]
Leica Workshop and the quest for a camera
I’m not sure if I have to be proud of it, but so far most of my workshop clients that didn’t have an M when attending my workshop, bought one shortly after the workshop. I guess I infected my clients with a virus that will make their lives considerably more expensive. Luckily, buying a digital […]
