Leica Fellowship's website

---===&&&&&===---

Welcome to the Leica Fellowship, a group of friends who share an interest in Leica photography.

Twice a year members can meet for a weekend away in a different part of the UK.

A quarterly newsletter contains news and articles, written by members. You should have received one recently. As well as the weekends, which are great fun, members communicate by email, telephone or Zoom meetings and through this website.

Our website has two main aims:

1. To inform our existing members.

Regular news updates will be the main method of informing members of future plans and meetings. The Gallery will show examples of members’ Leica photography.

2. To attract new members

We hope that our website will attract new members. There is help in abundance for those new to Leica ownership. What better place to learn about fine photography with a Leica?

For a modest subscription; and an interest in Leica equipment, you could join us. You would receive a warm and welcoming letter, and gain the opportunity to make new friends, possibly within your home area. We have members from overseas, but most live in the UK. Why not take that first step by using the link: Contact us here
and register your interest for the attention of our Membership Secretary?

Keith Walker - Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum
27th February 2026

This week Keith Walker shows us a museum that will fascinate those of us interested in motor bikes but also tells us of the impressive individual after whom the museum is named - Sammy Miller. He was an incredibly successful rider in many trials and other competitions and is still alive at 90+ working in the museum!

Don Morley knows Sammy very well and has taken hundreds of photographs of him since the 1950s. Don has kindly sent a few photographs from his remaining stock so we can show you this accomplished racer adding to Keith's photographs of Sammy's museum. You'll find them after Keith's photographs

The Day I Thought My LEICA HAD DIED (David Askham 2026)
19th February 2026

Occasionally, we receive a shock when our Leica cameras fail to operate. Usually it is something fairly simple that can be cured by temporarily removing and replacing the battery.

But what if that expedient fails to work; what next? That is the situation that David Askham found with his oldish Leica D-Lux, but it could apply to any relatively modern digital camera.

Find out how this unwelcome experience was resolved.
