"Film-like" – an adjective used by people who have never really shot film. FILM is film! Want film? Shoot film. Now back to my Martini.

I’m Done with Leica
I have officially lost all respect for Leica. I will always love my M3 and M4 (everything after the M4 in my opinion is not built to Leica standards but that is a conversation for another time)… this nonsense is a total embarrassment.

Sadly, Leica Has Lost Its Mind
While watching this video the word Photography did not come to mind…. the words pretentious, obnoxious, stupid and misleading did. Over-the-top promotions like this are nothing but porn for the cult of Leica and make me fear for their survival as a viable tool.
The lie that runs at the heart of this video is offensive: Leica invented “photography”? What kind of revisionist history is that? Many of the images featured here were shot using 4×5 cameras- which came out of the studio LONG before Leica came on the scene.
It’s too bad, because recreating these iconic images from photographic history is an interesting idea. But twisted to their own ends, Leica just ends up tipping their hand: they’re looking desperate.
