Leica M Rangefinders
The original Mirrorless system
I got into Leica because I was frustrated with the way other camera manufacturers were changing their systems so often. I saw the change from DSLR to Mirrorless happening, and decided I didn’t want to re buy all my lenses again. Sure you can use adapters but who really wants to do that? So I changed to Leica, because their excellent lens system hasn’t changed since the 1950s.
Leica cameras are tough. No doubt about it. And the lenses are strong too. There is nothing that can go wrong with a Leica lens. No electronics. No stabilised elements that can get stuck at a bad angle.
The Leica M forces you to become a better photographer. It is so simple yet versatile. The best part of using a Leica is the frame-line system. I can frame up, and reframe and still see what is in and out of my picture. No other viewfinder system does that. Gives me so much versatility.
Leica M Lenses
Leica lenses have a certain look to them. I truly believe they are the sharpest around, but it is also the natural, but strangely surreal look they have. They are simply the best when it comes to handing natural light.
It doesn’t matter how much technology that other camera manufacturers have: They will never be able to beat Leica. Because with a Leica photograph, there is something uniquely real about it. Something human. Because it is 100% over to the human photographer to setup the camera and take the image. No assists. Full manual exposure, and focus there.
There are photographers whose photographs you admire, photographers whose equipment you find yourself looking at, and photographers who actually change the way you think about photography. For me, Thorsten Overgaard belongs firmly in that final category. I first got into Leica in 2015 after discovering Thorsten’s work, and I can...

The buzz around the Fujifilm GFX100RF is real—and I get it. Sleek design, 102 megapixels, medium format sensor, a nod to Leica’s iconic style… it’s enough to make any photographer curious. But as tempting as it is to jump on the hype train, I find myself coming back to a...
