I have a secret to confess… I’ve been obsessed with Leica for around 9 years.  Completely unrelated, but I’ve been a photographer for 9 years.  :) I recently had the chance to finally fulfill my dream of owning a Leica… specifically a black Leica M9 that I picked up used along with a Summarit 35 2.5 lens. There’s just something about Leicas and rangefinders… I can’t even explain it, I just love them.  Maybe it’s the history? Some of the worlds best photographers have used Leicas… Cartier-Bresson, Erwitt, Capa just to name a few.  Maybe it’s just the lack of automation and options when using a Leica.  Either way, it’s just fun to shoot with. You can’t talk about Leica’s without talking about money. People always talk about how expensive Leica’s are and yes, they are eye-watering expensive… unless you’re a professional photographer.  (we’re not even going to talk about the stupid commemorative limited editions!)…….
