I read a lot of other photography sites, and a few of them are good enough that I would rather send you there than try to repeat what they already do well. This page is where I keep those.
Nobody pays to be listed here, and none of these are affiliate links. If you run a site that belongs on this page, or you know one that does, tell me about it.
Macfilos
Macfilos has been publishing since 2008. It is run as a non-profit by a small group of enthusiasts with Mike Evans as editor, and it covers Leica in depth alongside plenty of other cameras. The writing is personal and takes its time, which is rarer than it should be.
Jörg-Peter Rau's series on M-mount gear that is not Leica. Voigtländer, Zeiss, Konica, Minolta, Rollei and Epson, from 15mm to 90mm, tested on film and digital bodies. It runs in English on Macfilos and in German on Messsucherwelt. The link goes to the navigator, which indexes every episode in the series, so it is the right place to start if you are weighing up a third-party M lens and want an honest opinion on it before you buy.
Leica Society International
Leica Society International, formerly LHSA, is a non-profit organisation for Leica photographers, collectors and historians. It publishes articles on photography and Leica history, runs conferences and educational events, and supports photographers through its grant programmes. William Fagan, a long-time collector and writer on vintage cameras, is currently its president.
Fagan's writing is especially worth following if you are interested in the history of Leica rather than only the latest cameras. He has written extensively about early Leicas, collectors' items and the people behind them, and has also been involved in LSI's research work with the Leica Archive in Wetzlar. His pieces tend to come from the perspective of someone who has actually handled and studied the cameras, which makes them a useful counterweight to the usual spec-sheet coverage.
