I watched it but I can't remember where. Interesting.

Hmmm, the usual superficial German tv-reportage. Looks like they want to follow the market and phase out their film cameras. You can't tell if they're still going to support analog somehow or are just follow the "natural" evolution to digital.

If I have to hear that line ... "Whenever I look at it I realise these pictures could only have been taken with a Leica" ... one more time, I'm going to scream! 😛

Yeah whats up with that? I bet in a blind test that guy 9 times out of 10 wouldn't be able to tell a print taken in exactly the same circumstances between a Yashica GSN and a sumi C-40mm

How about the answer to the question: "who are these cameras made for"?

It was nice to see the people at work though, I've always been curious to see their production line.

Fascinating video. Anyone with an interest in serious cameras should watch this.

That video got me thinking about how I want an M7 around.

These cameras are made for me. 😎
