Leica User Group (LUG) archives

LUG Archives

The Leica Users Group is an email community of people who discuss the use of Leica and similar cameras. We consider ourselves to be photographers rather than camera collectors. Beyond these archives and our image gallery, there is no official website for the LUG. We are what we write and photograph. We are not fanatics about the use of Leica cameras. It's the photographer, not the camera, that achieves a good photo. We expect our members to have experience with Leica cameras, and to know what they can do, but if they choose to use some other brand to make a photograph, so be it.

The LUG — Leica Users Group — is managed by Mailman software. To subscribe, unsubscribe, or adjust your subscription (e.g. change to or from digest mode), see http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug

Listed below are the archives . The last time we counted, Mar 2023) there were 896418 messages in the archives. Many of them are actually on topic, which is to say, about photography by people who admire Leica cameras. To search the archives, use a search engine and add the term "site:leica-users.org" to your search.

We publish a yearbook. The 2024 edition was released 3 April 2025. Contributions to the 2025 edition are due by 7 February 2026.

If you do not want a message to be archived, put the words "NO ARCHIVE" on a line by themself, with no spaces after the IVE, in all capital letters, anywhere in that message. The custom is to put it at the end of your rant.

These archives are updated hourly. Indexing technology is mhonarc.
