John Ricard Posted June 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here's something I seldom see, an actual journalist who appears to be using a Leica M240 alongside his Canon DSLR. His name is Ali Arkady and he recently filmed some controversial footage of alleged torture in Mosul, Iraq. At least I think it's an M240.

jhluxton Posted June 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2017 Looks like an X-Vario to me without the lens hood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeTexas Posted June 28, 2017 Share #3 Posted June 28, 2017 I have trouble framing things up through safety glasses over my glasses when on project sites. I can't imagine trying to shoot through a gas mask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted June 29, 2017 Share #4 Posted June 29, 2017 You really need to subscribe to LFI magazine if you want to see top quality contemporary journalism making use of Leica M (and other) cameras. There is more out there than you may realise and of course in the Sunday supplements and monthly journals the camera never gets a byline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted July 4, 2017 Share #5 Posted July 4, 2017 I have trouble framing things up through safety glasses over my glasses when on project sites. I can't imagine trying to shoot through a gas mask. I used one of these in the day. Lately I've been using the RF only to focus and an optical viewfinder in the flash shoe. It might work for you.

Robert M Poole Posted July 9, 2017 Share #7 Posted July 9, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Jan Grarup uses a Leica for photojournalism https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ8WBQKlqN7/ Not everyone's taste, he's very rock 'n' roll he also uses a Fuji XPro1 (now an xpro2 I think) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted July 9, 2017 Share #8 Posted July 9, 2017 Ah, great camera. I don't recognise the finder, what one was that? We simply called it the optical sports finder. It was great! And with Nikon's 85m f/1.8 lens we could frame and focus with both eyes open. An almost perfect 1:1 view; something like using an M3 and 50mm. .
