Leica X1
On #Camerathursdays Blurb employees get to talk about the cameras they love. And this week our series makes its triumphant return with a modern update from a classic camera company. The Leica X1 is a sharp-dressed camera, carried by one of our sharpest-dressed employees.
Camera: Leica X1
Employee: Stephane
Job: Helping out the people
“It’s been now a few months since I’ve bought that camera. And for months I have been hesitating between an SLR camera or a smaller one – this Leica X1. I finally fell for this because I knew I could carry it everywhere. Also, there aren’t too many buttons or menus so that’s just coming back to the early days of taking photos: Back to basics! Anyway, I love it, and I always have it with me. Just great.”
Here are some of Stephane’s photos:
"... at a glance, it looks like it's a B&W photo, and it's actually not: welcome to England!"
"... the X1 works really well in a dark environment as long as there is some contrast."
"... I just like it (even better in a square format)"
Next week we’ll be back with another camera and more thoughts from our corner of camera-nerd heaven.

Sive I bought my Leica M9, all my books are on Blurb, and this combination is unbeatable. Get LR3, PS5, the Blurb ICC profile plus Premium papers together with results that show that wonderful Leica lens clarity on paper. With that real Pro look!
