| Leica M6 |
The modern classic, rangefinder film camera, mine is from 1984 and works like it was made yesterday. |

| Leica D-Lux4 | Lovely camera, pocket size digital with a wide zoom, |
|
remarkable image quality
and handeling. this is a camera people will refer to as a benchmark
digital camera for years to come. |
|
| Leica Digilux 3 | A wonderful Leica version of the Panasonic L1 4:3 system camera. |

This camera is
the most "analog" digital camera I have ever used, with both
a aperature ring and a shutter speed dial. if you are used to shooting
film in the "old days" or like that way of working, this camera
will work just the way you expect it to. maybe that is what really is
the recipie of a Leica camera.? Read my Digilux 3 pages - Digilux 3 in Africa gallery |
| Leica Economy | or really "Leica and Rangefinder camera economy" |
| There is 2 seperate economies in play once you start using Leica rangefinders, based on two user groups, "users" and "collectors". Because Leica cameras is also a ikonic part of photographic history, collectors drive up the price for cameras with one or another significance along with the price for used equipment. However on the other hand, becuase only mint condition items is of interest to the collectors, anyting with a bit of wear and scratched on the metal is rather in-expensive. Because of this us users can find inexpensive lenses at very reasonable prices. If you, like me, intend to use your camera for photography, you will do very well with used Leica lenses and cameras at very reasonable prices. |
