"After a long time spent in commercial photography I decided I’d like a change from carrying lots of heavy Hasselblad & Nikon equipment so I took a look at Leica for personal work.

I appreciate all the time and trouble you take writing your very detailed and extensive articles; maybe one day I’ll be able to meet you on one of the courses you run in London or elsewhere in Europe".

"Another splendid article Thorsten! Keep up the good work I always enjoy your articles".

"Dear Thorsten,

It’s great to read more about your history with various cameras, and your thoughts about cameras - and photography - in general.

Thanks for all the article ... very interesting reading".

"Hi Thorsten,

I think I enjoyed that article more than any other of yours, tremendous.

My view on the M series cameras is quite simple, “its simplicity spawns creativity”, and that’s why it is so appreciated. Your might have the fastest everything on a camera but by the time you’ve adjusted all the dials and made the right settings the opportunity has actually gone, while the “slow” manual Leica M has caught the shot!"

"Great read. Thanks for sharing your insights. Thanks, eternally, for introducing me to it all".
