Happy Birthday, my Leica!
Denmark, July 2, 2015
Today I brought out my Leica DMR again from the Pelican Flightcase it had been stowed away in while I have been using other cameras. Today is its 10th year birthday!
See the updated article here:
It's been 10 years since the 10MP digital back came out.

"As someone who always reads a lot of reviews prior to purchasing a new camera, I must say that your review of the Leica Q is by far the most complete, well written and satisfying review I have ever come across. This is all I wished to say. Just a few words of gratitude and admiration."

"My overall goal taking part in the Rome Workshop, was to focus much at the light, which I can transfer to future photo and television news stories that I produce. And I got it.
The hands on practice and advice from Thorsten benefits both experienced pro´s like my self, and amateurs who wants to step up a level. So with my tired feets walking around hot Rome, I now will go back and let the experiences and inspiration go into my photography works. You are newer to old, too experienced or (especially) too good to learn."

"I've read your fantastic article about the Leica Q tonight. Well done! The most important part for me was the beginning, the discussion about what is photography and what to be delivered by a camera. And you're right about the Digilux 2, it was the first time bringing analog logic to digital world"
