I came across the dreamy self portraits of Anastasia Potekhina in the LFI gallery and dropped her a message if she’d be interested to be featured here. She was. Here you go. Have you got an interesting story to share? Send me a message and I’ll get back to you. 1) Can you tell a […]

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 […]
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 […]
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. I have tried many fields of photography […]
Q&A: Is the 50 Cron better than the 50 Summarit?
I got this mail a few days ago: Heya! I’ve read your reviews on both lenses but I got some questions. I do own the F2.4 50mm Summarit and i am very happy with it. It’s totally usable wide open and really sharp and smooth. Build quality is great, too. But you know the nagging […]
The Leica Summilux-TL 35/1.4 ASPH is here -for a week-
I’ve got the Summilux-TL 35/1.4 here for a week, but I understand the excitement about this lens. If you still think that APS-C is ‘inferior’ to full frame, you haven’t tried this lens on the CL. It is simply beautiful. Very sharp, even when shot against the light on full opening, but more importantly: there’s […]
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 […]
The Leitz Summicron 35/2.0 V1 (M3) goggled review
You might have seen one of these funny looking goggled lenses on a Leica meeting. I never thought these lenses would make your camera look better, but even if you agree with me on that, there is still a pretty good reason why these lenses deserve a place in your gear cabinet. They are sharp […]
