Are you interested in writing for Macfilos? We need authors who have something to say about photography and equipment. In particular, there’s a place for reviews of all L-Mount cameras and lenses from Leica, Sigma, and Panasonic. Ideally, you would own the equipment and be able to provide a long-term review together with sample photographs to illustrate your article.
The main focus at Macfilos is on Leica LTM and M cameras and lenses from the earliest days to the latest M11 and its forthcoming derivatives. In particular, we are interested in the ideal camera for street photography. The M6 Classic is a favourite, of course, but what’s your preference? If you think you can contribute, please write to the editor.
We cannot offer payment — Macfilos is a private venture and is wholly non-commercial — but we can guarantee a large and enthusiastic specialist readership and the opportunity to take part in a vibrant discussion.
If you have the germ of an idea, follow the link below to discuss an article. We will ensure a professional presentation and will provide you with as many proofs as you require in order to make sure everything is just as you wish.
A cup of coffee works wonders in supporting Macfilos
Did you know that Macfilos is run by a dedicated team of volunteers? We rely on donations to help pay our running costs. And even the cost of a cup of coffee will do wonders for our energy levels.
I’ll start the sequel of part 2 of the Scottish article quite soon. Going to north of Brittany in early September. Will pack the X2 so there should be another article coming. I will have to put an article together about Greece as well. Sorry no Leica there but my faithful Ricoh
As you know, I’m a Ricoh fan, so I always welcome a story with a GR flavour. I firmly believe that the GR range and the Leica M have a lot in common and are ideal companions.
And Jean is our go-to man for all things GR!
Fully agree
I have been procrastinating over a fresh article since June (sorry readers), I did a road trip in the camper, pulled some amazing images, and then got lost in the world of my day job. And alas a half baked idea with unreleased images sits on the ssd and pokes me each day.
I will try harder as I have a week off in Cumbria, and will see if I can pull it out of the ground to help out.
Is this some form of write out to help out?
Me too!
All contributions gratefully received
Dear Mike, I will submit an article later today for your consideration. It will be a fairly black and white article.
Thanks, Brian. Look forward to it.
So am I. I love black and white photography.
Hi Dave, never get excited until you see an article. Your taste may vary…but I sensed Mike needed something besides steam rolled paper cameras. Anyway, I submitted my 100 words to Mike and he will be doing his amazing editorial skills to turn a pigs ear into a silk purse, but unfortunately he does not enhance images.
The problem with black and white image articles is they do not show well at all on a smartphone or uncalibrated monitor. But I did include one image of a zipper down on shorts to please some people.
My next article was going to be my nude self portrait series but I do not think it would be popular here and my prints are not selling.
I need something to get my creative juices going.
The same thing he does with my words of wisdom when they land at his feet. The messiah of Macfilos editing..😂
