Happy Birthday, La Vida Leica!

It's hard to believe that it's been one year already for La Vida Leica! The time has just flown by. We started with basically nothing - no articles, no reviews, news stories or even members. Through a lot of hard work by the staff, enthusiasm and participation of the members in the forums and vendors and manufacturers giving us the chance to review their products - we've become one of the premier destinations for Leica shooters on the web. We'd like to take a moment to thank everyone for making the last year a truly enjoyable experience. We've gained a lot of ground and grown larger by the day - here's to the year ahead... May it bring many more exciting things for everyone!
