Leica M Edition 60: A year’s shooting with the father of the M-D

Leica John Reynolds - 3 May 2016

The moment he opened the box I knew what was going to happen.

David Stephens had called earlier to say that the Leica M Edition 60, hereafter M60, which I had muttered under my breath, had arrived at The Leica Store Manchester and would I like to see it. Of course, why not? It was December 2014 and I had been intrigued by this unusual camera since Photokina that September. The M60 might be just what I wanted, a minimal, purposeful, well made and beautiful camera.
