Hornby 1991 - 2009

Hornby was the Hollingsworth’s cat and I just found out that he died last week. Now there’s no one who can out rock ‘n roll Ben when it comes to late night shenanigans.

Leica M8 in New York W Hotel

So, the Leica M9 was launched the other day… The biggest thing is the full frame sensor of course, but it just looks like rangefinder digital has come of age a bit too; it seems just a lot more ‘together’ than the M8 for some reason. Can’t wait to get my hands on one at The Classic Camera next week-ish…

I know most of my friends shake their heads in puzzlement at my fascination for rangefinder cameras but I just love the understatement of them; the size is perfect for traveling and fitting into most bags etc. I just don’t like the size of the typical SLR camera with decent lens… (Despite being in awe of the 5D mkII’s capability)

Check out my M8 set on Flickr.
