Another film shooter here. I shoot film about 99% of the time. I only shoot digital when a client requests it or when I need instant turnaround, as is the case for the product photography I do for my wine & spirits shop for example.

I use B&W in my M3 exclusively and I rotate C41/B&W/E6 in my M6 but mainly it's Fuji Pro 400H, Superia or…[Read more]

Every 50 Leica has made is special in my opinion but the Lux ASPH stands out for me because it's such an amazing performer in so many different situations. It's got the speed for low light. It has amazing sharpness. It is very well corrected and it has delicious bokeh. The pre-ASPH Luxes are also wonderful, with amazing bokeh and character, but…[Read more]

Yes, excellent images. Thanks.

I have the 35 & 70mm Summarit-S lenses and 5 Hasselblad V lenses. Few of these get used regularly as the 70mm is my go to lens, so the much lower investment in Hasselblad lenses is helpful whilst maintaining a fabulous level of quality. I would like to complete my set with a 24mm too, as it's way beyond the…[Read more]

thank you !!

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the hasselblad 1.7x convert on the Leica S? I own the Hasselblad 300mm f4.5 and the Leica S Hasselblad adapter and when I connect the 1.7x converter it will not show the aperture for the 300mm lens and creates green lines in the picture. Just trying to find out if…

Nice images, thanks for sharing.
The 30 mm is a lens I think I will skip, when I get my line up of S lenses together. I lust for the 24 mm and I think 30 mm would be too close, but these look great.
Oh, and best wishes to you and the red dot team!

I finished a project a few weeks ago shooting iconic Washington venues from a helicopter. I used the Leica S2 with a 120MM and a gyro stabilizer for all of the daytime shots. I had to use a Canon 1Dx with the higher clean ISO for the evening photos. You can see the collection at my web site- use this link to get to the Above Washington gallery –

Happy New Year everyone! I'm also new to this forum, my first post here. I shoot a fair amount of film, and it's about 90% of all I do (my wife is the true digital SLR shooter, I just follow in her steps a little). I have a lot of gear, being Leica, Pentax and Yashica. I also have a small darkroom!

My small Leica collection consists of a…[Read more]

I've rented several times, Leica Bodies and Lenses from lenrentals”dot com” they are superb and very easy to deal with

I had the X1, and currently have the D-Lux6, C-112, and Monochrom/Noctilux. My opinion is that the difference in sensor size may be important if ultimate resolution is critical, but for most purposes, the difference between a fixed 35 mm focal length and the 24-90 mm zoom is a very big difference. If I were set on having the zoom and still wanted…[Read more]

Thank you. That was the point of those images, to concentrate on the
outline, the geometric shapes, patterns or symbolism and not necessarily on photo-realistic detail.
Pre-visualized, so in some cases purposely over-exposed or under-exposed
to prepare for the presentation.

This is the first I have seen of Leica plans for the sinar system..
