That iconic Leica red dot doesn't come cheap... not even in the virtual world. A company called Humster3D recently created some ultra-detailed, high-quality 3D models of several popular Leica cameras and made them available for download... for a price.
What’s the first thing you’re going to do when your $1900 pre-ordered Leica T arrives on your doorstep in the coming weeks? Well, wooden accessory manufacturer Miniot hopes you’ll cover its aluminum unibody design with one of their hand-crafted wooden cases.
About a month ago, Leica debuted the touch-friendly, aluminum unibody Leica T: a hand-polished beauty that, despite the standard (read: REALLY!?) Leica price tag has been received pretty positively. Well, by some people at least.
There is one company that was less-than-thrilled when they saw the Leica T, however, and that company's name is AppCam. According to AppCam, the operating system on the Leica T is almost identical to the AppCam OS... the same OS that they tried to shop out to Leica two and a half years ago.
What’s the most boring advertisement you’ve ever seen? Well, whatever it is, Leica is here to challenge it. In a move that is part humor part marketing brilliance, Leica has put together a 45-minute long advertisement that shows off every. single. second that each of their just-announced Leica T cameras spend being polished down, ever-so-meticulously, by hand.
Leica isn't known for modern styling and innovative design. For the most part, the company sticks with what works, branching out here and there to release a special edition that is sold for an even more outrageous price than the standard version.
But today Leica steps outside of the box with the new Leica T: a APS-C sensor, aluminum unibody camera with surprisingly few physical controls, a large touchscreen and a whole new lens mount.
The rumored, 4K capable Sony A7s that we're supposed to see for the first time tomorrow evening isn't the only mirrorless camera set to drop in April. The Leica/Panasonic partnership is also working on a mirrorless shooter -- the long-rumored Leica T Type 107 -- and we just got to see our first picture of it thanks to the folks at Leica Rumors.
