Exciting News Photo Fans

[lushd]

I've just been allowed a chance to play with Leica's latest offering to the photo market. In an attempt to break out of their luxury niche, Leica has opted for an entirely new approach which I am sure will bring them much success in the mass market.

Now what sort of pinhole has the best bokeh?

Pffffffffft

anytime now the LHSA will be releasing a "special edition" or "anniversary" edition of that pinhole and charge you double the price for it.
Many will sit, languishing, unused in their original cases...

i don't know if i like the leice dot on that. maybe if it was black or taped over so the people on the street wouldn't bother me.

and typical deminishing leica quality, fully resort to a plastic top, bring back the ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinc!

Any news from Luigi on a case for the new body ?
Also, does it come in chrome ?

Partnered with whom on this effort....

Lomo or Holga. Also, can anyone tell me if a lensbaby will work on a pinhole. I need another photo format to explore.

Pinholes made with pre-war Dresden pins.

Pinholes made with pre-war Dresden pins.

Uncoated, of course... !!

Btw, any prediction whether Tom A. will come up with the soft-release for this one?

 

[srtiwari]

How soon can we expect a Digital back ? Or will there be a Leica P 9 ?

 

[rbiemer]

Most importantly, where can I get one, Donald?

You might try the shop at the Science Museum in London. The logo is more mysterious!

I just found Leica's related press release. All your
pinholes will be usable, but the new camera will have a crop-factor of 0.8.

Where is the grip? What is the six bit code for a pinhole?

 

[John Elder]

Get Rid of the red dot, someone might steal it!

 

[dlove5]

Does anyone know if Erwin Puts has had a chance to reflect on this exciting attempt to "to square the circle of the conflicting demands of high quality and lean production techniques."
