---===&&&&&===---
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?

Alan Humphries - My First Digital Camera
12th June 2026
12th June 2026
Alan takes us back 20 years to his first use of the digital photography media and his first camera.
Alan makes some very valid points about how many of us have followed the trend of staying up to date with technology, which has improved greatly, and when we look at the results from these earlier cameras they can still produce the results.
