His M4 film set has been used on many Hollywood films in the past 45 years. If you are interested in this offer, here are the details (click on images for larger view):

By LR admin | Published: September 9, 2015

rage_against_the_light_01
My name is Markus Andersen, I am a Sydney, Australia based fine art photographer who uses Leica gear. My work, art practice and use of Leica gear was featured in a short documentary called “Into The Belly of The Beast”. I now have my first published book called “Rage Against The Light” on urban street / documentary photography. The book was shot on both BW film (Leica MP & M4 with 28mm f2.8/ 35mm f2 asph lenses) and digital cameras. Here a 90 second movie I created for the book – a cinematic version of shooting on the street, probably a perspective many photographers share that shoot in the urban world:

The Leica M Monochrom camera is now $2,000 off – a bigger saving than the previously available 12% discount (currently available at B&H, Adorama and Amazon). This Monochrom model is already out of stock at many retailers and I believe this is the last clearance sale before this model will be discontinued. Leica announced a new Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) model in April, 2015.

Update: this discount is only for the black Monochrom, the silver version is still at 12% off.
