Welcome to the future – The Leica camera Blog

The Leica SL2 was only introduced recently; yet the busy SL photographer, Tino Scherer, who was one of the first photographer allowed to try out the camera, can no longer imagine not having it as one of his working tools. We take a look at three of his recent projects, where he used the new Leica camera.

Written in Ice – The Leica camera Blog

You can buy a cheap camera, go to great places, and when you bring back memories of your moments with a person or whatever, they will maybe live forever; but, do you want to have a bad picture or a good one? I’ve decided to always have the best I can. For example, I went to Greenland and flew over its blue lakes before most people did; but I had a bad lens I’d borrowed from a friend. So, I had to return a second time, and flying over the glaciers again cost me a lot more money. So, don’t ever go to take photographs you’re not passionate about; and, do it with a good camera. Otherwise you’ll be disappointed your whole life. Take the best, and spend a little more money to get the pictures you’ll be pleased with for the rest of your life. There are moments that won’t come back, but that could live forever.

A Love Affair With The Leica M-D 262 – by Ong Sien Hong – 35mmc

The first time I saw the Leica M-D 262, I almost instinctively knew that I'd got to have it. I love the way it looks. Stylish and minimalist for a digital camera. I couldn't afford it brand new so I waited to snag a used one at a reasonable price. Sure it
