Jürgen Suk

Jürgen Suk is a 35mm film photographer based in Germany. He shoots a Leica MP with a 50mm Summicron, mostly on Kodak Tri-X, and meters by the Zone System. An engineer by profession, he builds small iOS tools for photographers on the side, including ZoneCalc, a Zone System exposure calculator on the App Store. He cares about light and composition first and likes the technical side best when it stays out of the way.
