Exposure: Nicholas Putz

Regular readers will know we love these kinds of stories, where someone (re)discovers rangefinders. It's great that we can combine that with this Exposure post and introduce you to Nicholas Putz. Like perhaps many of us, he shot DSLRs (professionally) until he was fed up. In February of 2013 he started over with a clean slate and purchased a Leica M (Type 240) and Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. You can read the whole story in his blog entry, "Why I Love My Leica M (Type 240) Rangefinder Camera", check out his portfolio or Flickr stream. Follow Nicholas on his ">blog, Twitter feed, Google+ or on Instagram and more!

Leica Lens Price Increases

Leica just six months ago (on January 1, 2014) increased lens prices for many M lenses, but there's a new round of increases coming. This time for mostly S-System lenses, though one M lens and a couple of binoculars are also affected. The increase is effective July 1, 2014 - and dealers will honor the current prices until the end of the day on June 30, 2014 provided the items are currently in stock or available for immediate delivery by Leica Camera. If you pre-order the item before then, the price will be honored regardless of how long it takes to fulfill the order. Read more below for details!

Andrew Spencer - The Leica Story

Read more about this story in his blog post, "1928 - The Leica Story" and be sure to check out the pictures as well. Sorry to hear of your friend's dad passing Andrew, and thanks for sharing this with us!
