Really inspiring article. Thanks so much for the wonderful words of wisdom and images.
Jono, yes- Ralph is a treat to be with. I enjoy your reviews and look forward to your next one.…
Great stuff Richard – I enjoyed that (and the pictures). I once spent a happy hour talking to Ralph Gibson…
Thank you for this, I found it utterly fascinating and feel I learnt something which is always good.
How do you achieve double exposures with this model please Tim?
An interesting and exciting piece! We learned a lot, thank you!
Done. Sorry about that.
Well spotted Gordon. I’ll ask Mike to fix this. William
Thanks Steve. I was told that both copper and iron ore had been shipped out of Marquette at various times.…
I’m pretty sure the ore dock in Marquette was for iron ore, not copper. I think it’s also newer than…
Great and inspiring article. Also great pictures! Thank you very much for sharing both!
Brilliant article summing up the wonderful CL well. I have an M10 as well but over the past few years…
In William Fagan’s article about the Leica M3 700 000, the first paragraph left out the last zero from the…
Nice work Richard!
It was great to see Ivor and Frank and, of course, Stefan, Peter and Tim in Wetzlar last week. Some…
Thanks, Jason. As you say, the Fuji world is different and has a massive following. So a link to your…
I freely admit that I’m as flummoxed as anyone as to why the X20 article has had a resurgence of…
Thanks, Keith. The editing on the main video makes the event seem a lot more frenetic than it actually was.…
Very nice summary, thanks William. I am looking forward to the book when the English language edition is out later…
A good result for No. 112 – I think it was always going to do reasonably well. Does that make…
Thanks Mark – much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it.
Agree – I got a grip for my camera, and the thumb rest, and it helped a lot.
Hi Paul – I’m catching up on comments here. 1) Yes, I can definitely tell the quality difference between the…
Thanks Gord, and great to see this article is still being read so widely. I see it is in this…
Hi Dunk, You might be pleased to know that your text has appeared in an AI generated response about how…
Thanks Mark! The Q-series are indeed fantastic cameras for the travel photographer. I am a big fan of the original…
Hi Michael, and many thanks! Having seen the early morning antics that some landscape photographers get up to in order…
That’s very kind, William. Mike might have something up his sleeve!
Enjoyed the photo set and story. Nice work getting up early and beating the crowds. The empty photos of the…
Lovely to see your piece here Keith. Your path is a bit similar to mine, but I fell down the…
I bought one of these and was not impressed. It may be that because I like small phones, that the…
Thanks, Mark. I have also become a firm fan of wide-angle fixed-lens cameras over the past ten years. I’ve adapted.…
Many thanks Kathy. It is certainly the look on the lads face!
Thanks for your thoughts on the Q line-up Mike. I couldn’t agree more and can’t help but wonder what I…
A wonderful retrospective of your trip Keith. I am so glad you enjoyed using your Q and that it clearly…
I thoroughly enjoyed reading along with your journey Jon. Looking forward to your next article already. Cheers, Mark

Absolutely wonderful. Lovely imagery and a very interesting read. Thank you! Cheers Mark
I never thought I’d be looking at a rally, but your photo of the ‘mechanic’ and an exhausted young driver…
I have been using soft releases for years. My good friend Tom Abrahamsson invented what he called the “Softie” many…
Thanks, Alistair, useful information. I’m sure readers will be interested. It appears that Leica and other manufacturers don’t seem concerned…
You are very welcome. Hopefully you will make it back to see how it has changed, and what has stayed…
A big thank you also from me, Andy. I was twice on Harris during my abroad year at Glasgow University…
From a mechanical engineer’s viewpoint, they are an extremely bad idea. They allow far greater loads to be transmitted into…
Interesting that the Leica AG firm, which produces Leica cameras, owns the ‘Leitz’ name and not the ‘Leica’ name. I…
Thanks Paul. Practice, and a great location, makes perfect.
Andrew Stunning images of a travel worthy place. Also, a big “Thank You” for showing how long exposures done well…
Thanks David, much appreciated. I wrote up a review of my Urth filters here on Macfilos. I’m impressed, especially as…
Apologies Mike and Co for the double comment, no idea how it did that. 🤣
Simply stunning long exposure work Andrew, from a very beautiful location. It was good to read of someone using Urth…

Hi Jean. The landscape is still just as rugged and beautiful. What has changed is the increase in the number…
Hi Paul. Yes, it’s been a real “journey” as my photography has evolved. I feel like I know what I’m…
That’s extremely kind Kathy, many thanks. To be considered on your wall alongside a Hiroshige is a huge compliment. If…
The comparison between the 2013 shots and the now shots certainly demonstrate your personal progress, Andy, and if I recollect,…
There’s an enormous amount to this article: sehr schwer. as my German tutor would say. Amount of what? Travelogue. Teaching…
Some long exposure images are truly amazing. I was in Harris some 40 years ago and it doesn’t seems to…
Thanks Kevin. Agreed on being printed large. I’m out of wall space annoyingly so I might have to have a…
I’m sure you could sneak in while I’m not looking 🙂
So, since you’ve laid claim to it, we have no alternative to searching for a Harris ‘look-alike’! But those dinners…
Lovely long exposures Andrew, thanks. They would look good printed large, framed and hung on a wall. Good travel advice…
The absence of strap lugs is a killer for anyone who actually wants to use it rather than collect.
Bugs do seem to have a habit of turning up after languishing in pavement cracks (my experience and Keith James’s).…
Yes, that’s a technical detail I should have mentioned, the smallrig has a rubber gromit on it, so when screwed…
I’ve only ever tried a soft release button once on an x100, lost it on the first outing. Never been…
I bought a smallrig L bracket for my Fuji, it came with a red shutter release button. I fitted it…
I thought the safari M11 was the last version Leica is going to pull out of M11 series, but I…
What a coincidence ! I have both red bugs shown in Mr. Evans’ photo and a black version of the…
Hi James, great to hear! It’s a nifty bit of kit. All the best, Keith
I absolutely love soft shutter releases. I lost my first release what seemed like instantly! My additional superlative Match Technical…
The knurling on the dials and aperture ring is truly gorgeous. Also the Leitz Wetzlar engraving on the M11-D’s shutter…
Thanks, René. I hadn’t seen. But, coincidentally, here is the reply from Leica PR which has just come it: The…
Mike, when you look closely at the top of this camera, the letters W and T are visible, so if…
The photograph of the D-Lux 8 100 edition is very curious. Has anyone else noticed that the zoom lever, concentric…
I got a 1958 Kodak Retinette…used the same lightmeter for it…and dang…lol…the pictures came out perfect!!!
Looks like they love cracks in the pavement.
Hi Mike, I have twice lost the bright red soft shutter button on my M240. On each occasion, I noticed…
Glad you found it useful, Kathy. I suspect the O-ring idea has been around for a while, but I hadn’t…
Thanks for this — a genuinely useful post! I’d always wanted a good soft release, but didn’t want to pay…
Many thanks, Jörg-Peter. I’ll try to keep the articles coming. All the best ~david
I’m happy this one resonated with you, BD. Thanks for sharing the anecdote from your childhood. It sounds like we…
Keith, thanks so much for the kind comment. It’s much appreciated. You need to get yourself an old brass Leica…
What’s that saying? “Simple things should be simple. Complex things should be possible.” Alan Kay? I’d say Apple does that…
Yes, Apple is certainly not flawless, and those Disk not properly ejected messages have been irritating me as well since…
Dear David, thank you for this extraordinary article. Thanks for sharing your story, your thoughts and what Leica means to…
Bonsoir Francis, je shoote raw + jpegs. Je traite les deux mais les jpegs fins sont très bons si tu…
What a wonderful piece. Having grown up in the 50s as the only child of two serious antique collectors I…
Hi David, what a fantastic article! You did such a good job painting out the scenes with words that I…
Thanks, Dirk! It definitely pays to sneak away on your own occasionally, even when traveling with others, so that you…
Hi Kathy, many thanks for your comment! I try to be on the lookout for spots like the one in…
I’ve been a Mac user since Lisa :), though for a short time I did consulting, and it was a…
Thanks, Raymond. I’m glad the article helped you find the spot. That’s nearly seven years ago for me, but I…
More than some! It’s been a major success by our modest standards. Good to hear from you Jason.
I think that would be a wonderful project J-P! I hope you can find the time to do it at…
Apple user since 2003: 3 iMacs, 1 MacBook Pro and 3 MacBook Airs, currently using the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air…
Hi Mike, Hope you too are well. No, I hadn’t realised that that article had had some visits.
Really touching and informative article. I liked all of the pictures, mostly the OM4 analog. Must have been a hefty…
My favorite photo was “in search of a cup of coffee….”. Not just because it’s a really striking photo. But,…
You’ve captured a history few of us can even imagining having seen. That alone is worth the cost of Leica…
