#53 The Q has left the building

Linköping in a mirror – Leica Q My Leica Q has found a new home. I sold it the other week, after long considerations. Why, you may ask. I did praise the camera a lot on earlier posts – and I still do in some ways. The problem for me was that I had too…

#41 My thoughts of the Leica M240

My M240 I bought my Leica M240  back in 2017, as my M9 was in Germany for a sensor change. I had an idea that I could use my Fujifilm X-Pro2 as the M9 was on its journey to Wetzlar – but wow was I wrong. I got Leica abstinence after two long weeks and…

#17 Learning the Leica Q – part one

Had the day off and took the opportunity to try out the Leica Q. The weather in Linköping is great – to be in the middle of March. Sunny and about 5 degrees celsius. Shot the pictures with the lens wide open – the camera has an electronic shutter, so this is possible even on…

#14 Streets

Yesterday we were in Linköping to visit one of our favourite restaurants. Before that we took a walk around the city. The weather was nice and one can almost feel that spring is just around the corner. Soon this street will have a green roof. Can’t wait… The camera that was on my shoulder was…

#5 My Leica M6 “Hacks”

Well – I am not that a Leica Expert that I can give you the perfect hacks for this iconic camera…but I can give you my findings from two years of shooting… First – never wind the film if you are not certain you are going to take another shot. The reason is that you…

#4 Leica M6 TTL – My first Leica

My first Leica was a M6 TTL silver edition – an analogue camera. A classic camera. The way to my first Leica was not a straight line. I think it all began around 2010, as Fuji announced the X100. I fell for the camera and since then I have used various models of the X-system….

#2 My first picture with a Leica

This is my first shot with a Leica. I remember it as it was yesterday – it was taken in the mirror of the mens room at my work (!). The camera was my first M6 TTL with a Voigtländer 40/1,4 and the film was a Tri-X 400. This was my first encounter with a…
