Leica Akademie UK announced new workshops:
Following in the footsteps of the original German Akademie dating back to 1934, the Leica Akademie UK offers a collection of workshops that aims to inspire a new generation of photographers and help capture the ‘decisive moment’ through a Leica lens.
A premier learning resource for Leica users, Leica Akademie UK workshops are open to entry-level photographers as well as those more experienced. (more info)
The new web series called Betterthandead is filmed entirely on a Leica MP Safari camera. Here is the link to the Betterthandead episode and trailer:

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:

Slow news day: the Leica X (Typ 113) “Edition Moncler” camera that was announced last year is now available at B&H. Additional pictures:
The handmade Arte di Mano half cases for Leica Q are now shipping. Variety of leathers and colors are available at the Leica Store Miami.
Check out also the new Angelo Pelle half cases for the Leica Q camera.
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.
There is a new Leica manual rangefinder style camera app for iPhone called Red Dot Camera. Here are the main app features:
