Leica 50mm Noctilux at London Fashion Week by Simon King:
There are a few “specifically photographic” occasions that camera manufacturers use as selling points for their gear. Frames /second for sports, telephoto for nature and wildlife, compactness for street, ergonomics for travel; and so on. [continue reading…]
Artisan & Artist LMB-M7 Half Case Review:
I’ve been using my Leica M6 TTL Millennium a lot more lately because while I love digital, film slows me down a bit. It’s a nice change, and in that way it compliments digital. Of course, using my M6 also means that I’ve been looking for more accessories for it :). One accessory I’ve been considering for quite a while now is getting a half case for my M6. The problem is that there are tons to choose from nowadays. There are some pretty bad ones but also some great ones. One that I’ve had my eye on for a while is the Artisan & Artist LMB-M7, and I thought it would be a great idea to get one in and review it. [continue reading…]
Leica 50mm Summarit-M f2.4 Lens Review:
I love 50mm lenses, and it’s probably because I started photography at a really young age with an old Leica M3 and a 50mm Summicron (read my About Me page for more details).

Paul Glendell, who is an award-winning photographer himself, is the person behind this company, and he designs many different cases for several Leica models. The one in this review is the leather half case designed for the M Typ 240. [continue reading…]
Fuji X-T1 vs. Leica D-Lux Typ 109 ISO Comparison:
I’ve been raving about the high ISO capabilities of the Leica D-Lux Typ 109, and some of you have emailed me asking me for more info on the D-Lux. So, I figured what better way to demonstrate its high ISO capabilities than to compare it to a camera that I know produces excellent high ISO files. Therefore, I decided to compare it to my Fuji X-T1, and see how it would measure up. [continue reading…]
