You do NOT need to pay enormous amounts to do it with the Leica Academie. Right in Brussels you have the club Viewfinders, and they organise at least two substantial trips a year: last year in Canterbury, this spring in Ireland, in December a workshop with Charlie Waite in Damme etc. It is a lot cheaper and great fun.
