For this week's Exposure post, we'd like to feature our friend Jip van Kuijk who hails from Arnhem, in the Netherlands. He writes, "I try to capture the world the way I see it, and keep it as real as possible. This way I capture moments in life I appreciate or find interesting and share them with the world." And the photos he captures are lovely snapshots of life indeed. Furthermore, Jip contributes to the Leica community by sharing his stories with us.

ONA Announces the "The Berlin II"

Submitted by Double Negative on May 8, 2014 - 12:39pm

You may recall when we announced ONA's "The Berlin" bag and review back in mid-March earlier this year. The bag was very popular and sold out pretty much immediately. It was intended as a limited edition bag, and our glowing review of The Berlin by ONA might explain why... It's very nice! Due to the strong demand, ONA has announced the Berlin II bag. The only difference is that the shoulder strap is missing a red rivet as found on the original... It will be available in the early fall of 2014 for $389 USD.

Calumet Photo Will Rise Again

Submitted by Double Negative on May 7, 2014 - 8:44am

Recall when we published news that Calumet Photo vanished in the U.S. Well, it seems that Calumet may rise from the ashes like a phoenix. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that "Calumet Photographic Sold to C&A Marketing" who paid $3.125 million in cash for the Calumet assets, including inventory. C&A Marketing is a bit of a scavenger; having won the right to make Polaroid-branded video cameras, accessories and other products after the 2008 bankruptcy filing. And in 2012, C&A Marketing acquired certain Ritz Camera stores and the company’s RitzPix online imaging business out of Ritz’s second bankruptcy filing. They're currently evaluating which stores to reopen and their “first priority” will be to rehire former Calumet employees. No word on when, but keep an eye out for developments. Read more below for more details and updates.
