Andrea Pacella: How a Passionate Photographer Became an Executive at Leica 

fantastic interview. Andrea captures and describes precisely my idea of the photographic process.

Thank you for this. I have taken in some much for this talk. wow. !

It's a good interview and quite interesting but I found the constantly repeated piece of music very annoying. The video would have been better without it.

Fantastic. Glad I've come across your channel

What a wonderful interview. I also enjoyed High Brownstone’s interview of Mr. Pacella (coinciding with the reissue of the M6). Mr. Pacella’s personal story and manner of speaking are interesting and one can see how he meshes so well with Leica as a company. I liked his references to other special objects (pens, motorbikes, watches) and to the roles of purposeful limitations and the inspiration from interacting with special tools and objects. Personally, I feel similarly about motorcycles (Ducati, in particular, which has a similar passion behind the brand and which also inspires a passionate following). The Leica cameras not only impart a sense of history and of hand built quality, but also remind one of the history of the company and of the story of Leica and the Leitz family up to and during the war. Thank you for sharing this interesting and inspiring video.

Interesting story telling by Andrea. Great video.

Very interesting interview. I like the format.

Very good interview and thanks for sharing. It´s good to see a executive person at Leica showing a R8 camera, who is the better SLR made by Leica and one of the best ever made! Sad is the position take by Leica who simple abandon R users and loyal costumers and no longer support R cameras and lenses. Many R cameras and lenses are out there in working and using conditions, I understand that for electronics cameras is hard to find and maintain spare parts, but for the mechanics like R6 or R6.2 I can´t understand. The same for the lenses, Leica should be able to maintain support on lenses,like cleaning and maintenance jobs, also the same for R bodys. Nobody buy a Leica for after a failure gain a paper weight, people buy Leica because the company had gained in the passed a image of support old stuff and the costumers, but nowadays Leica is like the others brands and only see money...Sad!

Thanks for sharing…😀🥳

Nice :)

The Leica R8 is an SLR. Why is he holding it like an M at the beginning?

The quick and honest answer is no.

The time I started using Monochrom cameras. Theres no way to go back on film. Theres no point.
