There’s little doubt that Vietnam is one of the World’s most photogenic countries. No matter what camera one uses, you’re bound to have at least a few gems on your film roll or memory card. But what happens when one points a Leica at the country’s rich textures, landscapes and faces?

Leica, perhaps the sexiest name in cameras over the last century, has been the brand of choice for photojournalists capturing everything from street life to violent conflict. They are so beloved that there are clubs of Leica-touting photographers in many countries.
One such group exists in Hanoi and these photos, which were put on display last month, were taken by some of the group's 27 members.

From mountainous landscapes to snapshots of daily life, the camera sure seems to be a perfect match for Vietnam.
