Voigtländer Superb@V&A, LDN
As it is next to where I work, I popped into the V&A today to see the new photography centre which opened a few days ago.
Camera-wise, there were 2 large floor-to-wall cabinets of mechanical goodness from the early Rolleiflexes to the Zeiss Ikons to the Leica Barnacks all the way to the modern day Leica M6. Quite incredible to look at.
Photograph-wise, it's a celebration of the 20th century photographers and I recognised a few famous names from Magnum. Ideally I'd have liked the exhibit to have included a few younger* photographers, but I did enjoy the selection of the photos given the space constraints.
Good show overall, 3¾/5 and would recommend
*under the age of 50 or 60...
