Life in LA, Leica M3, 06 2013

Testing my friend’s (and colleague) legendary Leica M3 - “The Leica M3 is a 35 mm rangefinder camera by Ernst Leitz GmbH (now Leica Camera AG), introduced in 1954. The M3 introduced several features to the Leica, among them the combination of viewfinder and rangefinder in one bright window, like on the Contax II, and a bayonet lens mount. It was the most successful model of the M series, with over 220,000 units sold by the time production of the M3 model ended in 1966.”

Los Angeles

Country/Region: United States
Los Angeles

Los Angeles, or the City of Angels, is known for its stars, beaches and being the birthplace of the American film industry. There are so many different parts of the city to explore, and each has a different activity for everyone. Venture to Beverly Hills for the fashion, the South Bay to do a little surfing, or Griffith Park to take a look at the iconic Hollywood sign. Also the food scene is diverse and vibrant. There is so much to see, and we are excited to see what inspires our Lomographers!
