Dump Your SLR and Get A Leica

Is it time to dump that heavy single lens reflex and switch over to Leica? Will you be a better photographer if you switch to a Leica? Nope, but think of the fun you'll have convincing yourself that you would be. Why not explore the rangefinder advantage and come on over to the lighter side of life where the living is easy, or at least see what all the fuss is about.

Rob Skeoch is a career photographer, working for five newspapers and wire services before joining the team at Major League Baseball for 17 seasons and the NFL for 14 seasons. Then he was a national manager for the camera group at Sony North America before going back to shooting.

Now he shoots black and white film for gallery shows around the world, mostly portraits and street work. For 35mm shooting he uses a Nikon F3 and a couple M-mount Leica cameras and shoots mostly Ilford film.
