Скачать или смотреть Leica M - It's beginning to make sense...

This is my first ever rangefinder, my first ever Leica M. After three months and 15 rolls of film, I’m beginning to understand why the Leica M is so synonymous with documentary photography.

In this video, I shot 5 rolls of expired Ilford XP2 at the 139th Durham Miners’ Gala.
I share my early reflections with the Leica M rangefinder system, how it feels to use and how ultimately this incredibly well engineered camera has just one job.

You’ll see my successes, my failures, and how the Leica M-A is beginning to feel like an extension of my thoughts. More than just a tool, it’s changing the way I approach photography.
