Liveticker Leica Photokina event

[leicapixie]

The photographers who are in Leica show esp Elliot Erwitt are some of the very best image makers on Earth. If you are accepted at Magnum, one knows that you are special.. if not.. the Ultimate Boy's Club.
Yes! There are ladies too
I'm sure the waiting is worth it..

Bratwurst is very tasty, currywurst is even more tasty.

Too true. Those Germans not only know how to make a ridiculously overpriced camera based on principles from the 1950's, they make a darn good sausage too 😉

The Leica site has just updated with a day glo orange and green Paul Smith edition X2.

Another prop in the event, The Afghan Girl portrait which has absolutely nothing to do with Leica!

Yeah, at 2 Euro that bratwurst is like the Leica of street foods.

All camera's are already on the Leica website. Leica M for milestone. CMOS, liveview, R adapter just go to http://us.leica-camera.com/home/

Coincidence? Currywurst was "invented" in the 1950s 🙄

The Leica website already has some or all of the New products. Including a new Leica "M" rangefinder.

"Once upon a time my grandmother was a pretty girl..."

Leica instead of dreaming of to milk some last drops out of the Jurassic era, should start to ponder about what they should do to gain back some names like Nick Ut or Steve McCurry to really USE Leica, who both use Nikon since years...

Only 2 Euros?!?. Good news, going to Photokina next Saturday 😉

I was wondering who's Paul Smith, but apparently his a fashion designer who has added the color bands around Leica X2...

How much he was paid for that? Not important, but it just looks wrong. It looks like an outdated Adidas track pants-inspired camera.

 

[Archlich]

Optional EVF, Live View, Focus Peaking...

More like a FF NEX (you know they'll be using that same 24MP sensor) with a rangefinder.

Cologne is probably the nicest German city, if I could I'd go there all the time.

 

[fstops]

This was a BIG announcement, no doubt about that.

All of these stuff will sell like crazy in east-Asia market. That X2 is just screaming Japan-China hipster market.

 

[user237428934]

I don't get the M-E. Just a rebranded M9? What's going to happen with the M9?

 

[benlees]

"Leica M" is almost as bad a name as "the New Ipad". Worse, I think.
