I worked on that review a while back and for some reason I never published it online. The Leica Summarit-M 90mm f/2.5 lens has been discontinued for a while (replaced by the Leica Summarit-M 90mm f/2.4) and I no longer even own that lens (upgraded to the excellent and expensive 90mm Summicron-M). I will still publish […]

Leica did not announce a new mirrorless camera last week as indicated by Dr. Kaufmann a few months ago. I still believe such new camera is coming and most likely got delayed.

Dear friends, As many of you already know, I currently have the opportunity to publish my photos in an art book! It's something I have dreamed about for over a decade and today I would like to ask for your support. To finish and publish them, I need at least 25 pre-orders for a small market test, so that my publisher can see that there is an actual sales potential, and he can take the risk of publishing this book. If you enjoy my work and want to support the project, then pre-orders will open on the 6th of May.
How to break the rules like a pro and not like a beginner
December isn't the busiest month for new products, so that means plenty of photo contests and 'best of' guides. Oh, and Red Leicas and drone-snatching eagles, too.

The ads, which will be published in photography magazines, enhance the visual monochrome universe, and suggest that consumers break free from colour in order to create poetic photographic images. Now with a resolution of 24 megapixels, the MM246 is also more agile in processing.

Today I will be comparing apples and oranges. The Leica M9 and Fuji X-Pro 1 are two completely different beasts. The only similarity is the way both cameras look. Well, actually there is more then that – both have optical viewfinders, similar megapixel counts (18MP vs. 16.3MP) and no anti-aliasing (AA) filter and that’s about it. I am not going […]
