Submitted by Double Negative on May 26, 2015 - 1:58pm

Those in the Leica circle are no stranger to the name Mary Ellen Mark. It is with great sadness that we must inform our readers that she has passed... She was 75. Time has an article entitled, "In Memoriam: Mary Ellen Mark (1940 – 2015)" that's worth a read. She was an avid Leica shooter, owning four Leica cameras - two M4-2s, one M4-P and one M-6 along with five Leitz lenses. She was featured on the Leica blog several times and even held appearances and workshops at Leica stores.

Wotancraft Thor Review

Submitted by Double Negative on May 25, 2015 - 7:53am

Added today is the Wotancraft Atelier Thor (Urban Classic) review!

The Thor is the largest and most plush of the Urban Classic line; an upscale leather wonder able to haul 2-3 cameras and 2-5 lenses. Great for travel or just around town.
