Andrew – Bravo! Some incredible photos. I’m waffling on the Leica Q3 and sorry to give up Sony AR7V. I’m…
That is a very important distinction Chris, and worthy of a longer discussion.
I totally agree. The question now in 2025 is perhaps, how do we view photographs rather than how do we…
I thought it was interesting to juxtapose this article with Andrew Tobin’s discussion of how he prepared his photos to…

In 2022 I purchased direct from China, a set of Viltrox L-mount extension tubes for use with my Leica T…
Also, on the L-mount Alliance: https://dji-rumors.com/2025/09/02/will-dji-announce-a-new-l-mount-mirrorless-on-september-15/
That is indeed pretty disappointing. They clearly have the expertise, and as they offer changing mounts as a service I…

Mike, The 109 is the D-Lux 6; Jono Slack has a review at his site, and I dimly recall a…
Strange that Leica 109s are dropping like flies. If I’m not much mistaken, this would be the D-Lux 7, made…
My 109 broke Charles’ Law in a brain meltdown at a wedding yesterday; not focusing and switching out of RAW+JPG…
Hi Jono, my reaction comes a bit late – but a big thank you all the same. It was great…
My choice is the X100VI
Jon, I’m in a similar situation, but my Typ 109 has given up the ghost. Oh, once over few months…
Hopefully a 40mm equivalent comes out soon. 28mm too wide for my liking.
