Today I received this email: Dear Joeri, I’ve enjoyed your website, in fact your comments helped me to decide to purchase a Leica CL last year and I’m very happy with it. I also appreciated your comments on the SL cameras. Could I ask for your opinion please? I’m an expat residing in The Hague […]

Q&A: Does the CL work with remote triggers?
Last week I received this email: Hey Joeri! I’ve been poking around your site for a couple years for now and your insights on the Leica CL have lead me to pick one up for myself back in late 2018. I’m wondering if I can trouble you with a quick question, referencing this post you […]
Featured #8: Dirk Marwede
Dirk visited The Netherlands some time ago for a workshop with me. We had a good time and I loved reviewing Dirks work. He’s a very talented photographer. I was surprised to see how many good shots he took in just one night. Enjoy! 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a […]
Q&A: 50 SL Cron or 50 SL Lux?
I got this mail last week: Hi Joel, Quick question, I can’t decide between the Summilux SL 50 and the Summicron SL 50. Price is much the same, and I can handle the bulk of the Summilux – but my hesitation is based on the slower focus speed of the Summilux. Understandable as it is […]
The Leica SL2 is out. Is the SL still a good choice?
Yes, the SL finally has a successor and it’s called (unsurprisingly) the SL2. I haven’t had the chance to shoot with it in person, but I might say a few words on it. First of all, now that the SL2 is out, the SL can be bought for slightly less than 5000 euros, which is […]
some Leica SL2 specs confirmed!
I just spoke with a very reliable source who had first hand used the SL2 for a short amount of time. He confirmed that the leaked photo’s on LeicaRumors are correct. He also confirmed that the SL2 has an altered Q2 sensor, indeed 47Mp. DNG files are 80Mb, jpegs are around 15Mb. He said: “The […]
Erwin Puts says bye bye Leica
Interesting news from one of my fellow Dutch Leica reviewers. Writer and Leica connoisseur Erwin Puts will no longer write about Leica. He released this statement a few days ago on his website: “For more than 35 years I have been intimately involved in the Leica world, encompassing the history of the company, the analysis […]
Q&A: the Leica 28 or 24 Summilux?
Hi Joeri I hope that this email finds you well. I regularly read your website and love the pics you took with your Lux 24 and I am myself considering one. Since I know that you also wrote a very positive review of the 28 Lux, I was wondering if you saw major differences and […]
Good deal on CV 35/1.2 II
Cameratools is selling a demo lens of the Cosina Voigtländer 35/1.2 ASPH II. Since it’s a demo, I suspect there’s still VAT on it, if you have a business where you can deduct. The CV 35/1.2 is a bit heavy, but other a magnificent lens that I have used (and still use) a lot. It’s […]
The pool
Sometimes you don’t even have to leave the poolside to create art. Depending how you define art of course… Leica CL with 23 Summicron
