Interview with Michael Kamber

http://blog.leica-camera.com/interview/an-interview-with-michael-kamber-of-the-new-york-times/ A nice interview with Michael Kamber which I stumbled on today. I don't know for how long it may have been out though.

A funny thing is though how them manage to mention every M-model he has used (and sometimes a little about the model) except the M8 ;) Maybe the author of the blog chose not to talk about that or just remove that part.

Kambers blog use to contain quality stuff also, well worth to read. http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/author/michael-kamber/

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

For those who don't know/remember, I think this is especially considering Michael Kamber's field test of the M8 (http://web.mac.com/kamberm/Leica_M8_Field_Test,_Iraq/Page_1.html): "I have found the Leica M8 to be unreliable, poorly designed, and to deliver substandard results in most of the situations in which I have used it." ... "For a working photojournalist in a combat situation, I would judge the Leica M8 to be unusable."
