On April 30, 2022, Leica Store San Francisco and TASCHEN launched a new book, "San Francisco, Portrait of a City." The book is a pictorial history of San Francisco which spans a wide range of years to the present day, and features a long list of photographers.

Leica announces several major firmware updates for the Leica Q2, SL2 and SL2-S, and Leica M10. All of us at Leica Store San Francisco are very excited to bring these updates to you and share some of the interesting features that will be coming to the Leica cameras you already own. We have taken the time to go through all of the technical release notes on each firmware and highlight why they matter to you and what you can expect from these new updates coming to your Leica camera.

The Leica 40mm Summicron-C was originally created to be paired with the analogue Leica CL, a compact rangefinder that was made between 1973 and 1976, and has an M bayonet mount. Leica offered the compact camera system that consisted of 1 body and 2 lenses, the other being the 90mm f/4 Elmar-C. I

After much rumor and speculation, the Leica M11 is finally here. It is the fifth generation of the digital rangefinder (M8, M9, M240, M10), and comes sixty-eight years after the M3, Leica’s first “M.” Since that time, not only is the form of the camera very similar, but the lens “bayonet” mount has not changed, so compatibility with vintage lenses is always an option. With the release of this new camera, it shows that Leica continues to stay true to its heritage, while also bringing ready to shine far into the future with many design and performance upgrades.

A year in review, if you will. From the Leica Q2 Monochrom, Leica M, and Leica SL2, Leica made some incredible cameras and optics available to us this year, and we immensely enjoyed using them. Finely crafted accessories from our favorites such as Oberwerth and Billingham made excellent bags that we all enjoy using. Read on to learn more about each one of us, the gear we used this year. May it serve as inspiration to get something new for yourself or someone special that loves photography.
