Usually I’m pretty busy on weekends in the wedding season, but last weekend I was lucky enough to be able to join a LUF (Leica User Forum) meeting. It was my first time with this particular forum, but it won’t be the last. If you’re looking for an informal Leica meeting, where people are genuinely […]

Featured #2: Vincent van Kleef and his Leica M9
In this new series I’d like to give someone else the opportunity to talk about Leica photography. Interested? Send me an email. Today, my friend Vincent van Kleef. 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a photographer)? ‘I’ve been into photography from my teens on. I am very visually orientated and love […]
Q&A: which flash trigger system for your Leica?
This morning I received this email: Hi Joeri I was reading your review on the Leica SL and I am buying one very soon and your review is really helpful but want to ask you one question. What is the flash setup you where using, what I mean the flash and the wireless trigger that […]
Featured #1: Leica M240 shooter Marian van den Berg
In this new series I’d like to give someone else the opportunity to talk about Leica photography. Interested? Send me an email. 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a photographer)? ‘It took some time befor I ‘saw the Light’, and I mean the light we use in photography. But when I […]
One shot with the Leica 180 APO-Elmarit 2.8 R v1
Last week I visited the only supplier of occasion Leica lenses that I can reach by bike. This guy has a very broad collection of old and new(ish) Leica lenses, plus lots of other interesting brands. Always cool to stop by and check out some lenses. One of the new lenses that he just was […]
Two days out on the water with the Leica SL
I just got back from a short trip to one of the best canoeing areas in my home country. It was perfectly quiet, partly because the weather forecast wasn’t really promising. I took the Leica SL, the CV 15/4.5 V3, the Summicron-M 35/2.0 ASPH and my recently acquired Summicron-R 90 with me. The SL hasn’t […]
A Leica needs a bag
I just read an interesting article on PetaPixel about why Leica users should carry their camera always on their shoulder, no matter how cold, hot, cold, dry conditions are. The author claims he has taken his M240 everywhere and always on his shoulder. While I enjoyed the read and while I agree on taking your […]
Mysterious Swedish lakes
While I was going through a huge set of pictures for a presentation at Kanoshop, one of our sponsors that we had on our canoeing trip of last year, I ‘rediscovered’ a few pictures of Swedish lakes. We spent a few months on and around lakes, but the last month of our trip, we had […]

Why the interval mode is a great feature on Leica SL and M10
With the Leica M240 I had three choices with regards to releasing the shutter button: just press it myself (which I used most, for obvious reasons), use the self timer in either 2 or 12 seconds mode, or use a cable release. None of these features worked in situations where I needed more time than […]
