Concept camera between Leica and Apple:

Threw up in my mouth a bit when I first saw it.

hmmm. I am not sure I see the point. Its a bit like being a cat lover and a horse lover and coming up with chorse, which is too big for your lap and can't be ridden either.

They refer to the M9 as "prosumer". I disagree and tend to think Leica would as well.

Also, their whiteboard drawing is just hilarious. Love how they're all taking notes.. "right, so iphone goes into i9 which has an arrow pointing to M9-- Yes. Brilliant."

Kind of rubbish:

This one is a lot better

This made the rounds last week... Y'all know it's fake, right? 😉

Could you point to a debunking article? All I'm finding is the company's website and a bunch of articles, which leads me to believe it's not "fake", it's just in the concept stage currently and will likely never be seen to completion.

 

[B.S.]

It's described as a "concept camera" and one that will "probably never reach the prototype stage." So maybe "fake" isn't as accurate as "wishful thinking."

Ah, yes. Think I misunderstood.

Designers without any background in engineering or photography was my first thought when I saw this.

I'll wait for the large format iPad/Linhof 8x10.

The MaxiPad?

Yes.

Oh my god **** that.

 

[RanceEric]

That 'thing' is hideous!

 

[dexdog]

I agree with Turtle- it's a chorse.

If it was ever to go into production though, the only people to buy it would be the japanese "holga hipsters" anyway

Give the Japanese a little more credit than that.

This is awesome. Thanks for the laugh.

Someone please educate these industrial designers about lens register, about the need for another window if you want to have a rangefinder, and about viewfinder windows being the same aspect ratio as your field of view.

In other news, the chorse is now one of my favourites next to the owlbear, the penguinlion, the bunnywolf and the ducksnake:

Hmm... Pin-hole camera mated with a PhaseOne 60Mp medium-format digital back with touch-screen controls, finished off with Photoshop? 😀
