I’ve posted this several times, as well as the La Vida Leica article (now apparently inaccessible) that called him out 8 years earlier (as noted via an apology in the Leicaphilia article).

Well, that was an interesting read.  Thank you. 

From 2022 and out of date in some areas. 

There seems to be several separate elements with Thorsten. He spoke at a UK Leica Society weekend event some years back and he was very good. A number of people joined to be able to attend his session. He was very personable and good company in general. 

I have found his website content interesting and helpful, and of course free.

Well healed photographers seem to enjoy his Workshops.

His little business sidelines are close to being a disaster and unfortunately create very legitimate causes for concern. 

Just saying FWIW

I get that, Pedaes. I found some of his YouTube videos quite entertaining. Bought a very nice strap from him years ago that has improved with age (unlike me) - but went to buy another one last year, and it didn't arrive as promised. I received my money back via PayPal's complaint/refund process. By the way, I would never have paid for a workshop with him; I was never quite convinced that it would be beneficial.

people should know this guy is a fraud.


Not that it’s surprising, he has some of the blandest least interesting videos about photography on YouTube.

I like his video on camera straps - a unique perspective. 

 

A unique perspective? You mean nobody else has ever had any similar views? Please share with a précis of this uniqueness to save anybody else having to go to his YouTube or web site.

I was attempting to be ironic. Sorry.

Ah, right. I was expecting irony to have a soupcon of reality, so he never said anything about camera straps? 😁

@M-Lens-Seeker You can always get a refund. In this case it is a preorder, and it has taken considerable longer to get it finished.

So - after more than 4 years - you finally got it "finished"? On the website it is still advertised as "Pre order now. Be the first to get it." for "Only $798.00" - and when you click on the "ADD TO CART" button, the next surprise: Now it costs 1098$ :mad:
