You can spend hours and days in the picturesque villages of the Allier, a region slightly north of the massif centrale. It’s really a lovely area where the weather is good in September. I didn’t touch my camera a lot, but neither did I intend to. Instead, I caught up on reading, took a swim […]

Dou and the Noctilux
Last Sunday, I had a shoot with Dou, an artistic nude art model from France. I wanted to see if she’s suitable for future Leica workshops. With my French being as rusty as her English, it was a bit of a challenge. I’ll let you decide whether you could work with her. I used the […]
The Leica Noctilux 50/1.0 short review
I might have given this post a different name: ‘one reason to use both SD card slots if you have two’, but I didn’t. I’ll make another post about that. But the short story is: I did shoot the Leica Noctilux 50/1.0, which was supplied to me by my friend Maarten from The Analog Camera […]
Featured #7: Martin Krystynek
Today another great photographer that I noticed on the LFI gallery. He shoots Leica, Pentax and Sony. Enjoy! 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a photographer) ‘I am self taught photographer. My professional career as a photographer starts in 2010, when I operated in South America, especially in Paraguay, where I gained […]

Enjoy! 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a photographer) ‘I always liked photography but unfortunately I did not always have the time which I wanted.

Spelen in een Beatles tribute band: ontleden en proberen (we zoeken nog een zanger en drummer)
Het begon bij mij zo’n dertig jaar geleden. Als brugklasser logeerde ik af en toe, vooral als het hard waaide, bij m’n tante om minder ver te hoeven fietsen. ‘s Avonds speelden we dan ‘mens-erger-je-niet’ en mijn tante draaide LP’s terwijl we kopjes thee dronken. Op een van die avonden hoorde ik voor het eerst […]
Update: Is the Panasonic Lumix 24-105 L mount any good?
I received an email last week from someone who informed about the Panasonic 24-105 L mount lens. ‘Is it any good?’ he asked. While this is not my official review, I’ve spend enough time with it to draw some conclusions. So let’s make this quick and dirty. The Panasonic 24-105 isn’t nearly as sharp as […]
Voigtländer announces 75/1.5 lens
I’ve tried a couple of Leica Summilux-M 75/1.4 lenses, but never bought one. I don’t use 75mm lenses a lot, so I can’t justify the relative high prices for such a lens. But now Voigtländer comes with a new 75mm lens: the VM Nokton 75/1.5. Without having seen or tried it, I can already tell […]
A new affordable Leica M
I’ve shot most of my weddings with the Leica M240 and it never let me down. After having used the M9 for a number of years, the M240 was a real upgrade from a professional point of view. Even though it lacked that superb CCD-sensor of the M9, it had more than enough pro’s as […]
Q&A: 28 Elmarit or Sumicron as only lens?
Today I received this email: Hi Joeri sorry, that I write you again. This morning, I had to return the M. It was really a joy to take pictures with it. I could test it in a lot of different situations, which I usually make pictures in. And now i´m fixed in, so i will […]
