Introducing the benefits of rangefinder photography and the LEICA M9 with Tom A. Smith
Learn how the Leica M rangefinder system sets the LEICA M9 apart from the market-dominating SLR and compact digital cameras and makes it particularly suitable for vibrant reportage photography, ‘available light’ exposures and discreet portraiture. Tom will explain how Leica M photographers become part of the action and still perceive what is going on outside the viewfinder frame. The decisive moment can be anticipated, and can therefore be captured at precisely the right instant. This results in particularly authentic images that are in no way impaired by the presence of the photographer. Understand how the full frame Leica M9 can help you to become a better photographer. Price: $10.00
