You know that Beatles song? It’s on the White Album. My favorite album, because it is so beautifully balanced. Anyway, that’s what I thought when I saw this picture again. Shot somewhere close to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Leica M9 with 35 Summicron (although the exif says something else…) You’ve got to love the rendering of […]

The Leica 75 Summicron review
After having shot a couple of years with the Leica 75 2.5 Summarit I came across a mint 75 Summicron for a good price. I always wanted the 75 Cron, but never bought it, because I was more or less satisfied with my Summarit. I didn’t think too long and traded the ‘old’ 75 for […]
Duet in chrome minor
Aren’t they beautiful? Two lenses which I’m absolutely thrilled to shoot with: the Leica 50 Summilux version 2 and the pre-ASPH Leica 90 Summicron. I’ve already taken a few shots with the 50 lux and the sharpness is actually very good. This lens is a little underrated, though some people report it to be very […]
Tuesday Travel: into the light

When I found our neighborhood in foggy circumstances this morning, I thought;”Which lens to take today?” While we, proud rangefinder shooters tend to laugh at zoom lenses – yes, we do – I thought it might be nice to take my 35-70 out for a spin. And so I did. A Leica R35-70/3.5 will set […]

The Leica 50 summicron review
If I were to take one lens only to a random place, it would probably be this lens. The Leica 50 Summicron is all you could ever want as a documentary, portrait, wedding and street photographer. I could end my review with that, but I think you might like to know why I love the […]
The old man and the hat
Prague, Chech Republic. Shot with Leica M9 with 28/2.8 Elmarit. Printed on 20 x 30 Fuji DP-2 Lustre. Limited to 5. 1 print available: 200 USD, excluding shipping. Prague has a decent metro system and I am a big fan of escalators, since they often offer good photo opportunities. The escalators in Prague however are […]
Tuesday Travel: find the shop owner
A very typical shop in the Kowloon area of HongKong. Loaded with stuff that doesn’t seem to have any relation with neither the shop, nor the other things in the shop. Shot with Leica M9 and 35 summicron. Want to know more about how to use your rangefinder camera on your travels? Check out my […]
