Ginza
Leica M9 with handgrip and 35mm f2 Summicron V4 lens
Photographer: Matt Jacobson
It was a real pleasure to run into Matt and his wife while they were visiting Ginza last fall. His M9 shows beautiful evidence of its dedicated use as an instrument- the patina allows for a sense of admiration for the object itself. Seeing gear like this makes you realize how appropriate it is to really use your camera. Not to mention the fact that a chrome lens on a black paint body is an extremely aesthetically pleasing combination.
In addition to contributing to GQ, Matt also runs an excellent and stylish tumblr called Grown Man Style. Check it out!
