Air Cooled Porsches, Watches, Cameras and a great opportunity for photography. Sean and Ben visit Luft 9 on historic Mare Island Naval base and test out the M11 and M11 Monochrom side by side.

More than a wartime relic, the Leica KS-15 proved to be the basis for many innovations in the Leica M system that we have come to know and love today. During the Vietnam War, fewer than a thousand of these cameras were produced for the US Military, and even fewer exist today in such beautiful and complete form. Join Sean, the Owner of Camera West/Leica Store San Francisco and vintage Leica expert as he tells you everything you need to know about the Leica KS15 Camera.

Could the Leica M10 be the greatest digital M camera of all time? Maybe the value proposition of this camera makes it worth a look in today's market! We think the Leica M10 is, as they say, "Everything you need and nothing you don't."

This week on Conversing cameras we chat with Bert Celeridad, a street photographer and avid film photographer from Coronado California. Bert always seems to be trying something new, and we have come well acquainted through many photographic gear exchanges!

This "Conversing Cameras" feature I have thoroughly enjoyed! This conversation is packed with a lot - When faced with a life or death Kayaking situation, do you save the Nikon F2? Thoughts on the film in the days of rising film prices and rising developing prices? This week we talk to Robert Chestnut.

Another week and yet another conversation with a photographer we have had the privilege of working with. This week, I encourage you to check out two articles that Matt Wright has graciously put together for us on the Hasselblad CFV 50C II.

Welcome to another Conversing Cameras. This week we chat with Joel Gelin. I first met Joel through the regular Beers & Cameras meetup in San Diego. Little did I know that Joel was a musician before taking on photography. Over the past few weeks, it's been exciting to help Joel get into the Leica SL 601 system to work in tandem with his Leica R mount lenses. Without further ado, let's jump in!

As I'm writing the opening to this week's Conversing Cameras, I have a cookbook with some of the most incredible food photography sitting in front of me. Hundreds of photos from Jim's most recent publication covering Authentic Mexican food comprise this recent publication.

This week I'm excited to start off the year with Jim Koenigsaecker. You might have seen Jim's work on the CW blog before. He's been a long-time friend of CW and a phenomenal Leica photographer. Jim uses his photography for his advocacy efforts and uses his Leica to cover cultural events, society, and landscapes, and simply incredible pieces of time all around the globe.
