Updates from LeicaLand! (Quiet month..)

  • Voigtlander 28mm f2 APO-Lanthar VM – Last month I mentioned the announcement of the new 28mm APO lens from Voigtlander. You can now watch the full review on YouTube and see how it performs against similar 28mm lenses for Leica M mount.  Spoiler! Excellent performer and available at Robert White in the UK.
  • Funleader Artizlab 35mm f1.4 silver edition – You may remember my YouTube review of this lens which was originally only available in gloss black. The Artizlab 35mm f1.4 offers a small, lightweight, affordable alternative to the classic Leica 35mm f1.4 pre-ASPH lens (inspired by). Now available in silver to match your silver Leica cameras!

Lighting isn’t sexy but it works!

When it comes to gear, us Leica fans love to get the latest camera or lens. What seems far less popular is learning how to light. Light makes or breaks our photo regardless of what kit we use and this was clearly evident in my latest YouTube video (3 fantastic portrait lenses for Leica yet the winner was actually the light source).

After teaching portrait lighting workshops to Leica fans for over a decade I often get asked what is my favourite light? Below are some of my favourite lights that I use with my Leica cameras (and videos showing how I use them). See this written article for full res sample images using different light setups.

Feeling inspired to improve your portrait skills?  Get in touch if you’d like to organise a day together and follow me on Instagram to see how I light my Leica portraits.
