Dear Enrico,

I bought one of these and it is excellent. It will be part of a forthcoming review of third-party hoods and thumb grips that I am writing for Macfilos.

Thanks, Mike

Thank you for your statement. The more I use the Q2 and Q2M the more I think this solution of EVF is excellent. Being able to change lenses would be ideal. Im just mesmerized to see the little open mindedness concerning the possibility of evolution.

Haoge have a replacement metal lens hood which solves this problem.

I know David Suchet through The Leica Society and meeting him is always a pleasure. You can discuss anything with him; theatre, literature, religion, history and not just photography. Whatever the subject matter might be, the conversation is always stimulating. I think that on the last occasion I met him, we ended up discussing his film role as Leopold Bloom many years ago in a cinematic version of James Joyce’s Ulysses.

I love that film about David using his grandfather’s Leica. My memory was that one of the Welsh miners saw the photo of his father, taken by Jimmy Jarché, for the first time when David showed it to him. The miner then started to cry. I found that very moving, as it must have been for David, given the familial connections on both sides.

Great review and photos! I enjoyed that the review is both insightful and includes a variety of photography. In this one, I especially liked “Harvest Time” and “Erica.” Wonderful light in the former and authentic feeling gesture in the latter. Not to mention I learned a lot about the lens.
Cheers,
Joel

Don, thank you for your kind remarks. The documentary was an eye-opener to me as well, Jimmy Jarché’s photographs reveal his virtuosity and understanding of lighting. Remember his wonderful echoing use of shadows in his shot of dancing girls on stage? And the way he captured construction workers taking a lunch break atop the Shell building in London, which would have given today’s ‘… ‘elf and Safety inspectors’ nightmares today.

Thank you, Kathy. You are precisely the kind of photographer that I was trying to reach.

Absolutely wonderful. Without your article, I’m quite certain I’d never have a chance to learn about this era, this photographer … and of course, Suchet. Fascinating, immediately involving stuff!
