No, the Price of Your Leica Camera Isn’t Going to Hit an All Time Low
by Chris Gampat
January 26, 2026
I remember when I bought my Leica M6 from a Sony Artisan. Immediately after purchasing it, I loaded it with film and took a photograph of the Norwood Club, where we did the transaction. The fine gentleman who sold it to me was touched emotionally because he realized that he was a part of the process of my making my first image with that camera. That statement didn't strike me all that much back then, but as time has gone on, it resonates with me so much. I still own it, and only once did I ever consider selling it when Phoblographer was in a very bad spot financially. The price of my Leica M6 has gone up and down. After getting a CLA last year, it still feels and runs like it did so many years ago. This, honestly, is what separates Leica from every other camera brand on the market.

I was Born Rich. Of Course, I’m a Leica Photographer

If there were ever a single camera company that has positioned itself at the center of the “greatest of all time” conversation, it is Leica. Born in Wetzlar, Germany, the original Leica changed photography and what was possible in it forever. And their fans will never let you forget this – assuming you can afford to vacation with them. There are many, many fans of the Red Dot camera – they are, after all, the Rolex of the camera world – but this article is certainly not for them.
An Intro to Screenless Digital Cameras
by Chris Gampat
January 26, 2026
There have been a bunch of new cameras that have come out in the past few years. But the most fascinating ones for photographers are the new screenless digital cameras available now. These are an ode to a world long gone now, before social media, algorithms telling us what's a good photo vs what isn't, and global pandemics. These cameras aren't meant to do serious work, though they probably could. Instead, they're designed to shoot photos that will delight us in moments where we're not trying to be serious and don't want to look at screens. Let's explore these a bit more.
Photographers: It’s Time to Give Your Mind a Rest
by Chris Gampat
January 26, 2026
Dear photographers: it's time to put the camera down for a bit. You don't need to live behind your lens all the time and you need to realize that too much time with a camera can feel like a job that you don't want. So you need to give it a break. But this goes far beyond the camera. It's time for a visual detox. Visual media is copying one another way too much. And it's time for originality to shine.

This Filter is One of the Best Things to Happen to Leica
by Chris Gampat
January 25, 2026
See the dust in front of the sensor in the lead image? Well, it's not going to affect the image quality and it's also very simple to get rid of. Kolari Vision released their Clip-in filters for what they say is Panasonic LUMIX L mount. If you own a later camera like the S1R II, then you don't need this. But if you also own something like the Leica SL2s, you'll be pleasantly surprised. These filters also protect those sensors very easily after you apply the filter to the camera. And truly, it's one of the best things that I've had happen to my Leica SL2s.
