Craving Simplicity
Sometimes it all gets a bit too much and at the moment my seemingly endless quest to find the right camera gear has been giving me a rather painful bout of sensory overload. I’ll be honest, it’s even starting to piss me off. I have two very different systems I use for the majority of […]

Falling in love all over again
A little while ago, I had a bit of a clear out of camera gear I had with the intention of picking up a lens or two for my Leica M10-P. In the end somehow I managed to talk myself into buying a Nikon Zfc, thinking it would be a fun camera for casual, everyday […]

All in on Leica?
A little while ago I wrote a blog post about the compromises I make shooting with the Leica M10-P. At the time I have to say I was struggling to justify quite a bit about it for my needs. The quality of the images I could make with it were never in doubt, but it […]

After a little over two years of owning my Leica M10-P, the thought process is do I need (well I want) to move it on.

Two Years in.
Celebrating two years of Leica M10-P ownership today. It’s been a pleasure to use, not always practical and for sure doesn’t suit all sorts of photography – but the results never fail to impress and it’s always such fun to shoot with.

Film in Scotland
Having a few days away in Scotland I couldn’t resist taking my film gear and a couple of rolls of film along for the ride with my digital cameras I had on hand. Here’s a few random images from a great few days – if you’ve never been put it on the bucket list, the […]

Leica for Landscape
A few photos from the past weekend, shooting with just the Leica M10-P & Summicron 40mm f2. It’s a great camera for casual landscape and outdoor photography, the ease of use making it the perfect companion.

Jeez Camera Gear Buying is such a Waste.
Looking back through the memories that pop up on my Facebook timeline from time to time I came across a photo I had taken back in 2017 with some new gear I’d just bought.

Loading a Leica M6
Before buying my Leica M6 I read quite a variety of forum posts/blog posts etc with regards to loading film. It appeared that many people struggle with loading even with the quick load system the M6 has.

A Growing Love Affair
I had been looking on rather longingly at Leica M6’s for quite a while now wondering if all the fuss and attention they garnered was really worth all the thousands of words that have been written about them over the years.
