Episode 17 • Leica Damn Sociopath
As long threatened, it’s our all-Leica show! Fear not if you’ve yet to be inducted into the sacred cult (pro tip: the password is MOOLY), because in this rollicking episode, Jeff (three Leicas) and Gabe (at least sixteen) will recount their journeys into the haunted forests of Wetzlar. Does the camera live up to the hype? Does the glass? Do the empty boxes which go for hundreds of dollars on eBay? Tune in and find out.
how'd you first become aware of Leica?
when did you handle your first one?
how long between then and buying one?
what took getting used to? - rangefinder vs. SLR
which lens did you get first? and which after that?
the mystery of MOOLY and other accessories
what was your second Leica?
screw mount, M series, R series…
The cult and the culture - Leica ephemera - books and pins and bags and vintage posters and anything that says Leica on it, even the ugliest red golf shirt you’d never wear - the toy bear, commemorative editions…
would you buy another?
which do you have your eye on?
