We do not want and cannot claim that the days of big cameras are over, because that is not true, but something is still true - excellent and breathtaking photos can also be taken by "tamali". Photographers coming from more than 140 countries competed in various categories such as "Portrait", "Abstract" and "Still life". This year, the top prize went to Sebastiano Tomada from Brooklyn, New York.

His signature can be found on many photographs of rock stars of the time, from the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to Miles Davis. As a tribute to him, Leica decided to produce a Jim Marshall version of the M246 camera.
