"Hi Thorsten, just read your article on 50 APO Summicron interview with Peter Karbe. I was astonished by the idea behind 50 APO Summicron. Thanks for this article it was a pure enlightenment for me! I think Leica should be putting more soul in their manuals and explaining the engineering behind each lens... this is so much more motivational."

Istanbul
Istanbul, Turkey, May 8-12, 2015
I was in Istanbul to do the Overgaard Workshop in Istanbul. Even it is only few months since we visited the last time (September 2014), it was a great trip. It's a facinating city. Most likely I will not have time to come back till 2017.
The first morning I woke up really early and went out in the rain for some hours.

"I have now watched the first three Lightroom Survival Kit tutorial videos and I am impressed how effectively and smoothly you handle a big number of photos! It shows extremely well what you described in the written document. It was also interesting to see how well the B&W JPG files worked in comparison to the DNG/RAW file. Possibly the best video of how to use Lightroom I have seen :-)"

"Thank you very much for the time you have spent in putting information, instruction and news up on the Leica system. From following your newsletters and Facebook postings I have grown in knowledge which finally resulted in purchasing a Leica M 240 from Camera Electronics in Perth.
Sometime in the future I hope to repay your generosity by signing up for one of your workshops".
