A deliciously retro look paired with unparalleled technical caliber: Leica’s pint-sized M9 definitely leaves nothing to be desired when stacked up next to fellow members of the SLR camera family. This inconspicuous all-access pass to photography will allow amateurs and professionals alike to shut out the outside world in order to better preserve the quality of their shots.
Indeed, great shots are what Leica is all about. It is with a camera from the M line that Robert Doisneau immortalized the world famous “Baiser de l’hôtel de ville” (“Kiss by the Town Hall”) in Paris. If there’s one characteristic that has remained constant with Leica’s M line, it’s love for the present moment. You never pose for a Leica. In the same vein as the New York Sartorialist or Shanghai’s Xiao Guan, both on an eternal quest for the perfect candid, your Leica M9 will be your best bet in capturing the true essence of the streets. Just the weapon you need to capture street-style and other “fashion moments” and turn the transient into eternity. Who knows; you might even cross paths with Anna Dello Russo in one of her eccentric get-ups!
