And the winner is…

And the winner is…

On boxing day, we kicked off our Leica M9 Dream Combo lottery. About a week later, all the tickets were gone. On average, the 1517 ticketholders bought in excess of 13 tickets each.

We’re thrilled to announce that the winner of a Leica M9 and a selection of lenses is Andrew Clayton from Australia! We have spoken with the winner and informed him that he is welcome to visit his favorite Leica dealer and order his dream combo. Needless to say, he was very excited! Let’s hope he submits one of his LeicaShots to us in a not too distant future.

Thanks to all who participated!

    Bollocks #2!

    Time to move on and accept that we will probably never have an M9.

    Let’s concentrate on photography not gear, take pictures and prove that we don’t need one.

  23. LeicaShots says:

    @Cole: The camera is delivered to him, so I guess he’s out shooting ;) We’ll do a follow up on Bertrand in a little while.

  36. Jealous says:

    Congrats Andrew! Interesting that neither him or Bertrand Girard never posted a comment to thank Leicashots for the amazing gift WE have given them! To be honest, if blessed with this gift, I the first thing I would do it would be to come here and thank the website and the participants. Anyways… hope they enjoy the camera and gear they got.
