I’m a fan of Leica. And I’m used to their pricing. But after the ‘sandpaper-the-M-for half-a-day-and-call-it-Lenny-Kravtiz-edition’ there’s a new definition for rock bottom as far as Leica concerns.

This is what Leica store Amsterdam looks like
Last week I paid a visit to the brand new Leica Store in Amsterdam. Absolute eye catcher is the Van Gogh painting on the right side of the store. It makes the store look like an art gallery and only if you look closer, you see it’s actually a camera store. Also, I’ve never seen […]
The Leica M and playing children: a great combination
This summer I was invited by my friend Susannah for the third time to take some shots of the children playing in her child nursery. Because the nursery is quite small it is impossible to ‘not get noticed’, especially with small, curious children. Blending in is the only way to get the shots that I […]
Why three native SL lenses is just fine (for now)…
There are quite a few SL users complaining about the lack of native lenses for the Leica SL. I’ve read remarks where people say that ‘A pro system is not professional if there are only three lenses for it’, and “When is Leica finally releasing the new line of Summicron Sl lenses?’ It is a […]

Q&A: Do you prefer the SL over the M?
I’ve been exchanging emails with a follower and I thought I might share this question: So you mainly use SL for more precision/posed kind of work? Would you pick the M262/M-P(240) over SL? This was my answer: Yes and no: for precision work the SL work much better. It doesn’t need to be posed. I […]

4 reasons why the Leica R60 Macro should be in your kit
There are a couple of macro options available for Leica shooters, including the quite expensive Leica Elmar-M 90/4. Or, if you want to spend less money, the Leica Macro adapter-M. As far as I’m concerned, the best bang-for-your-buck Leica macro option is the Leica Elmarit-R 60/2.8 Macro lens. Why? I’ll give you four reasons why: […]
