Stolen Leica Kit

[Ian Arthur]

My friend (Giles Penfound) had all his kit stolen from his car whilst shooting a wedding at Monkey Island Hotel in Bray, Berkshire, on Friday the 26th August.

Giles has put out an appeal for the return of the SD Cards to any police station, as they contain all the days wedding images. The kit is insured but its the return of the Bride and Groom's wedding pictures which are crucially important.

In the meantime, if you hear of anyone offering Leica kit, then Giles (http://www.gilespenfound.co.uk/) or the Berkshire Police would be very interested. The gear stolen was:

Leica M8 Silver 3109171
Leica M8 Black(Has crack to rear screen) 3201140
Zeiss 35mm f2 1553920
Zeiss 25mm f2.8 15546567
Zeiss 50mm f1.5 15601915
Voightlander 15mm f4.5 with viewfinder 9950542
Voightlander 75mm f2.5 (ser no to follow)
Billingham bag Brown Small
8 leica M8 Batteries
5 B&W IR/UV Filters
11 Sandisk 2GB SD Cards & Lowe pro 8 SD card holder

Might be worth posting this on the Leica forum (l-camera-forum) as well. Hope he gets it back.

Just been looking at the guy's photos, its tragic, his photos are amazing, i feel bad for the B&G.

This is unfortunate but there is absolutely no way i'd ever leave camera equipment (of any value) in an unattended vehicle! Even if I stop to fill up with fuel I take the my camera with me while I pay.
