So for the next two weeks, I will be simultaneously reviewing, working on a personal project and shooting with:

The Leica M7

The 50mm F1.4 Summilux

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 with LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens

Kodak BW 400 CN film

M Classics bag (Compact bag, not the M shown on the site)

All products except the film will be reviewed. I’m not going to say much about the personal project, just that it involves me as a Blind Photographer and that a couple of co-workers, Leica and the owner of M Classics Seth Levine know about it. Seth was kind enough to loan me this bag for the gig. It’s a really, really gorgeous bag that can even hold my Canon EOS 5D Mark II with EF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM Lensnot attached while remaining compact, soft, elegant and discrete. The Compact bag is meant for smaller DSLRs like the Olympus OM-1. However, a Micro Four Thirds body can fit in there with little trouble. Hell, I could probably stuff four of them into here. Expect to see some really, really cool stuff.
