I’ve been busy with other things lately. To start with, I participated in the Rapha Festive 500 challenge, where I rode 556 km on my bike between Christmas and New Years Eve. Took some time for preparing. Also, December is always packed with last minute assignments and chores at home (paperwork, insurances, blablabla). Because I’ve […]

How good is the AFc on the Leica CL?
If you want to test your focusing skills, just bring a puppy. They’re agile and unpredictable.
