Wim Wenders for Leica
This video is really old, but this is the video that made me obsessed with Leica. After watching this film I absolutely had to have a Leica M8, I hope you get drawn in too! Wim Wenders is the man, if you haven’t seen any of his films check them out.

This wouldn’t and doesn’t look out of place at all in Tokyo where it was shot. Using film cameras and shooting film in Japan is surprisingly common, film is still living on with both amateurs and professionals. The store where I used to buy film was the size of any ‘decent’ camera store here in...
A new addition to the family
A recent addition to my collection of work horses. A 1958 Leica M2 and Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.4. Check out the weight! It’s a featherweight compared to a DSLR.

Some people believe that film is dead and that digital is the only way to go. I personally am looking forward to combining medium format film with...
