Led by not one, but two Leica instructors, this comprehensive workshop goes far beyond what can be absorbed from an instruction manual or an online tutorial. John Kreidler and Tom A. Smith provide an unheard-of opportunity to advance your technical skills and understanding of this iconic camera system.

Through a myriad of presentations, hands-on exercises and technical insights, you begin to think and see like the M10. From basic camera settings as a foundation, to step-by-step tips to help you increase the accuracy of your metering and speed of focus each session helps ensure that you are making the most of the capabilities of the Leica M10. Additional topics include an in-depth review of the M System, focusing techniques, customizing the camera, overview of Leica lenes, the keys to mastering the M10, discovering “The Leica Way of Seeing,”, an introduction to the Leica Foto App, and tips for post processing Leica Files.

Whether you have just purchased the Leica M10 or have been using Leica rangefinders for decades, you are sure to expand your skill set and knowledge base, while moving one step closer to mastering your rangefinder.
