Anthony Lane and the Cult of Leica

Good ol’ Michael Surtees pointed our way over to the latest issue of the New Yorker for a story that’s been making its rounds across the interweb lately, “Candid Camera,” an ode to Leica, the camera and lens manufacturer, whose 35mm M series is in the collection of any photographer in love with the medium. What’s more, the story is by Anthony Lane, who everyone in the world has a crush on even if they don’t know it yet, so going into it you automatically know it’s going to be stellar and have more than a few blindingly clever lines.
