I'm not sure if it's allowed but Brian: I bought a few for during my workshops attendees could buy it afterwards with a discount, I've got two left brand new in the box including the leather carrying case and extra battery... I can let them go for a good price ;)

I wrote an article about the Leica X-E (Typ 102) which you can read here: Review: Leica X-E (Typ 102) The Leica X-E is basically a Leica X2 with different aesthetics. Pic from the X-E:

I shoot various Leica systems for a living (I do reportage photography and workshops, teach classes...) I've shot the following Leica's digitally: Leica M Leica R (R8 with DM-R) Leica X Leica S I currently own a Digital Leica S-E (Typ 006) and an X-E (Typ 102) and X (Typ 113) I used to shoot...

The E in the name stands for 'Entry' or 'Economy': Leica releases the new Leica X (Typ 113) which has a hefty price tag, but Leica wants to be able to have people buy a new Leica for a smaller price so get them into the brand their tactic is as follows: Use the exact same parts as in the Leica...

The X-E is an amazing capable little camera (Exactly the same as the X2) I got a growing flickr album with some pics taken with it if you guys are interested in seeing some more pics! :D Leica X-E (Typ 102)

Introduction to the Leica S medium format system, I wrote an article about the Leica S-E (Typ 006) medium format camera read it here: Leica S-E (Typ 006) - Jip van Kuijk

The 75 and the 80 are identical, except that due to the smaller form on the M the focal length was changed from 80-75 so it matches the 75 frame lines then. It was not possible to make it a 90 and still retain the f1.4. The 80 is a bit better, but optically they are the same. You will see this...

I shoot film with the R8 and various R lenses all the time. Lovely combo just a bit heavy compared to my M's

The 35-70 3.5 isn't the best leica zoom there is the 35-70 f/4 is way better and has Macro capability at it's long end (70mm)

I wrote an article about the lens: Summilux-R 80 on the Leica R8 and M (Typ 240) | Jip van Kuijk

Hey guys, I wrote a review on the Leica M-A (Typ 127) you can read it here: Leica M-A (Typ 127) | Jip van Kuijk

Hey guys, I wrote a new article! In this article I will go over my workflow for photos taken on film rather than digital. I will be using software suite Nikon Scan 4, and will go over the settings I use for scanning with the Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED. This article will be most of...

I've used a M6TTL for a while and really enjoyed it and the build in light meter is easy for quick correction or aid to your hand held meter. With TRI-X you'll be okay without a meter, or the build in meter will be more than enough. With films that are a bit less flexible I prefer using a hand...

Nice images with nice colours here, nice way of using a 28mm lens and still get this close with nice isolation.

I have written a short article with real world result photos on the Leica Elmarit-M 28mm ASPH. A great little lens with really good performance and that as the cheapest in the Leica M lineup. You can read it here: Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f2.8 ASPH. | Jip van Kuijk I'd love to hear from you guys...
