Voigtländer is an interesting company. Every time they release a new lens it seems to be hit: sharp, with character and for a very small price, at least, compared to Leica prices. The Voigtländer 50/1.5 Nokton is such a lens: it’s not so much worse than the Leica 50 Summilux and it sells for less […]

Tuesday Travel: De Biesbosch
The Netherlands is not the best country for outdoor adventure sports, however, for canoeists, like us, there is enough water. The ‘Biesbosch’ is what our country used to look like a few hundred years ago. We made a two day trip through the area and camped almost in the water. Leica M240 with 28 Elmarit
Wednesday wedding pic: the dance #?
The M is still reigning in my workflow. The Sony A7S is a welcome addition for low-light situations without fast action, but for all must-have-moments I always grab my M. Just in case you were wondering… Leica M240 with CV35/1.2

Sometimes you just feel like dancing… Leica M240 with 50/0.95
Wednesday Wedding Pic: The Amsterdam Canals
Last week I had another fantastic wedding in Amsterdam. When the couple left the venue, the guests had arranged a fantastic goodbye on a small boat. While someone was singing a lovely song, everybody waved the couple goodbye and the groom kissed his bride. Just magical. Leica M240 with 35 cron

Lose the high heels, tie your comfy All Stars and move to the dance floor… Leica M240 with CV 35/1.2 (the lens that’s always pretty when the light is sh*tty)
Wednesday wedding pic: the foreground
A lens is more than sharpness and bokeh. The way it renders a scene and how it renders out of focus elements in the foreground is just as important. By the way: using elements in the foreground is tricky with a rangefinder, because of the parallax. More about that later… Leica M240 with 50 summicron
Wednesday wedding pic: work in progress
Sometimes it takes four or five persons to get the bride to look like how she wants. And usually it’s chaos and there little room to move around. I love this part of the wedding. It’s just hilarious, but also very serious. Leica M240 with 35 summicron
A Santorini wedding
Last year Hector signed up for a Leica Masterclass and we had a great day shooting and practicing focus skills. A few months later he asked me if I’d be interested to shoot his wedding on Santorini. Fortunately, I had a few days left in July, so I said yes. It took me three planes to […]
