## Resource

Join James and Chris as we celebrate Leica's 100th anniversary… well, 100 years since the iconic Leica I. Where did the company start, how did Leica become the camera of the masters and pros, what missteps did it make along the way, and what does the future hold? Then in our Gear Up segment, it's another premium brand that's over 100 years old: we give you a rundown of the Hasselblad X2D II, a 100MP medium format monster with industry-best image stabilization and dynamic range. But does it matter that it doesn't shoot video, or have a huge lens selection? Finally, in Trouble Shooting, we're here with some helpful tips for macro photography. But it's more than just dry technique; we discuss everything from cheat code camera features, helpful hardware you can pick up, and even how changing your camera system can improve (or betray!) your macro photography altogether.
