I received this very kind email last week: Hello Joeri, I’ve been shooting for years and years my leica m6, exclusively bw film. For all my color work, i’m now adding the m240 to my gear and while reading articles about how my fellow photographers are using the M System specifically for portraiture work, I stumbled upon your work […]

Q&A: Flash system for Leica?
Last week I received this email: Dear Joeri, I’m a leica M photographer in Australia. Thank you for your wonderful work on the M system, especially your book on training. Wonderful material and a great help to those wanting to improve their technique and speed. Could I ask your opinion please: I currently shoot documentary […]
Featured #11: Benedikt Ernst
I reached out to Benedikt after having seen some images of him on the LFI website. Benedikt liked the idea of being featured here, so here we go. 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a photographer) “I am fascinated by photography since my teenager years. I think the pictures of Peter […]
Featured #10: Edwin Bouldin
I met Edwin recently on Facebook and we had a short chat. I asked him to send his story and pictures to me and it turned out to be quite an interesting story. Not something you’d read everyday. I also included some of his shots from his recent expo, which were shot on a 6×7 […]
Just two more shots with the Leica Summilux-TL 35/1.4 ASPH
While cleaning up my Lightroom catalogue I came across these two lovely shots and wondered why I never included them in my review of the Summilux-TL 35/1.4. And while looking at the images I also wondered why I never bought the lens. It’s such a nice piece of glass. If the Leica CL were my […]
The Panasonic 24-105/4 OIS L has some use in the studio too
I thought you might be interested in my experiences with the Panasonic 24-105/4 OIS for the L-mount. I didn’t buy it to replace any of my lenses. It serves its purpose on assignments where I don’t want to swap lenses because I don’t have the time to do so, or because the environment is not […]
Q&A: Leica M8 as first rangefinder?
Today I received this email: “Hello, Joeri, I very pleased to have found your review of the Leica M8. I would very much appreciate your advice. I’m a relatively recent user of Leica and have upgrade the Q for a Q2. I love the camera for all the usual reasons but for me there’s the […]
I bought the Leica Summilux-R 80/1.4
I reviewed this lens a couple of years ago and I really liked it. Last week I had the chance to buy it from The Analog Camera Store and I decided it was too good to let go. It’s not an everyday lens, but on the other hand, I might just leave it on my […]
My Leica M8 is for sale!
Sometimes you have to let go of things you thought you’d never part with. However dramatic that sounds, I once had a Leica M8 that I used as a backup for my Leica M9. I sold it, after I bought a second M9-P (which I still have). After that, I started to miss the M8 […]
Guest post: Paris through a Leica lens
A few weeks ago I received an interesting email from Ed and I decided to post it on my website. Enjoy! In 2009 I found myself on a chartered plane headed to Kuwait. I was on a one year tour as a U.S. Soldier in Iraq. The mission was to train and assist specific units […]
