nicci78 Posted October 7, 2019 Share #642 Posted October 7, 2019 Not this time Last time I was invited to pre announcement Q2 workshops. I’ve had to sign an NDA then. Workshops were super nice, a walk through Paris with a Leica ambassador. With the never seen before Q2 If same pattern as Q2 launch. The announcement will be made this Thursday at 15:00 CET Of course they can change their way to do things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albireo_double Posted October 7, 2019 Share #645 Posted October 7, 2019 I'd love it if Leica were more active with workshops and ambassadors. I'll be attending two workshops run by Hasselblad ambassadors in the next two weeks, without even owning or planning to buy a Hasselblad camera. One of these is hosted by a top Czech fashion photographer and is free for his Patreon supporters of which I am one. Local Hasselblad dealer guys will be available for technical support, and cameras (H6D100 and X1DMkII) will be provided for participants to shoot with. I am going to meet the host in person and to network. The other workshop is in Luxembourg with China's top fashion and wedding photographer, again a Hasselblad ambassador. I don't care what camera he uses; I am interested in what he has to say about his creative process and how he plans and runs his shoots (fairly big productions). I'd love to attend a similar Leica supported event, if it were with a recognised name photographer and if I could learn something new creatively there. Depending on the name, I'd be prepared to pay good money to participate. However, I am not that much interested in "announcement workshops", where one can take a few snaps with a yet to be announced new camera under close supervision and without being able to save images to a card. By the way, I'll be taking my SL plus 16-35 and 50SL 1.4 with me to the Lux workshop...to promote the good name of Leica in a Hassy/Bron-sponsored event! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted October 7, 2019 Share #646 Posted October 7, 2019 In Boston, at least, the Leica store runs countless events and workshops. Miami, too, but I know that only indirectly. Since Boston is my "home" store, I am on their email list. I suspect many Leica stores have similar activity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami, too, but I know that only indirectly. Since Boston is my "home" store, I am on their email list. I suspect many Leica stores have similar activity. I am happy with the service of my guys in Vienna and I know they have these "fondle the camera" events from time to time which I am not really interested in. I am talking more about ambassadors getting involved with users. As an example, last year, Leica showed a "behind the scenes" fashion shoot video to promote the SL (you can see it Here ), with Jean Noir and Christoph Gellert. I have seen that video many times, to check out every detail of what they were doing. I even got in touch with them through Leica support to find out what radio triggers they were using with the Rotolights. If Leica organised a workshop with these two photogs, I'd rush to get my place and I'd be happy to pay to take part. A good example from the "other camp" is the education work done by Karl Taylor and Urs Recher (Hassy / Bron), with many BTS videos showing how to use the equipment. I feel similar effort is not very visible in the Leica world, even though there are some great names using the cameras (for those who follow JoeyL, he has shot a lot of his recent work with a Leica SL and the 50 Lux SL.. but one has to watch his BTS videos closely to even see that he is using the SL, in addition to a Phase One). See the video Here.., around 17th minute - this was the video that finally convinced me to buy the 50 SL Lux that many people have been disparaging here for its weight and size.

Lins-Barroso Posted October 7, 2019 Share #652 Posted October 7, 2019 The new SL2 looks like the same size comparing with the Sony a7R4. If truth, it will be a dream with the SL Summicron Lenses! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Leica Akademie workshops not meet your needs? Wrong subject matter? Wrong setup? Leica Akademie is running an online survey at the moment on what punters want. I've attended some LA workshops, but far more pass me by as not of interest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albireo_double Posted October 7, 2019 Share #656 Posted October 7, 2019 Good suggestion. Some of the Leica Akademie workshops could probably fit the bill, especially the advanced- and masterclasses, even though a lot of these seem to focus on street photography which is of little interest to me. For whatever reason, I've never considered LA despite using Leicas, including the S, M and SL models for the past ten years...the workshps don't show on any of my media feeds, my dealer has never recommended them, I have never got any invitation by email. I have vaguely known there was something called the LA. Strange...because I get invited regularly to Phase One, Hasselblad, Profoto etc. workshops and webcasts through various social media feeds and email newsletters, not to mention a big and increasing wave of promotion by the various online course providers like ProEdu, Portrait Masterclass and similar. Perhaps I need to be more proactive to see what Leica offer. Hmm. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
