I always live in the hope that the next Leica might make me feel a childish enthusiasm. I don't have my Leica on the night table, so I can wake up by the first stroke of sunshine and realize how lucky I am to have a Leica.

You might have a Leica already, or you are just trying to find out if you are getting one. I write for expert users and novices at the same time. I don't have the interest, nor the time, to play around with things if they don't work for me. That also implies that I don't use anything just to test or review.

ISO is a strange word because it is short for International Standard Organization. You can see the aperture blades inside the lens on the photo above. When the aperture is wide open at 100% the maximum amount of light passes, and when “stopped down” the amount of light becomes as small as 2%. If you change the aperture ring, the ring inside the lens (made of metal blades) narrows the lens opening from wide open to small. The aperture is a Latin word meaning “to open”. In the beginning of photography, the photographer's hand in front of the lens acted as the shutter to keep it all in the darkness. The rest of the time, the curtain is down and the sensor rests in the darkness. Shutter speed is how long the curtain is up and the sensor is exposed to the light that goes through the lens.

Just slides in under your skin for no apparent reason… I don't remember another camera that grew on me like that.
