Wem Wenders on Leica

[johnastovall]

A nice video by one of my favorite directors on the Leica M8.

Wender used a Leica when scouting locations for "Paris Texas" and a Makina-Plaubel for "Written in the West."

John - your post looked lonely so I'll thank you for the links. Those who only know Leica might not know the Plaubel Makinas which were exceptional 6x7 [and a 6x9] rangefinder cameras. My own Plaubel has had a lot of film through it. I enjoyed the following from WW :

The Leica was there to search for material, the Makina was pleasure..............

Thank you John
I really enjoyed that.
Nothing like a little elegance and enthusiasm.

I always wandered what was the relationship with leica since he was in the S2 opening.

Plaubel? I like that one
