Didn’t I just get done saying in one of my previous posts that the best way to improve your photography was to cover the display on the back of the camera. Not that Leica listens to me… but hay! they listened…
Announced at Photokina in Colone is the Leica M Edition 60….. No rear screen, no adjustment buttons, only an ISO dial. Its like a digital M6.
No, this is not a film camera but a fully digital version of their 24mp camera. It comes with a matched 35mm Summilux 1.4 lens with matched serial numbers. There will only 600 sets made at a price tag of $18,500.00. I assure you, all of them will be sold….
In case you can’t believe the price you should check this out…. 1923 Leica O-Series set world record
This is part of an interesting development in the industry. Some cameras manufacturers seem to be willing to take risks on different types of camera setups. Some that are smaller, lighter and have electronic view finders. The problem up till now is that most makers are trying to pack as many features as possible in a small body with little or no concern for how it impacts the photographers creative process. More is not necessarily more. In the rush to have the most advance tech we forget to use our own advanced tech.. unlike the cameras mind our’s gets stronger with use.
I’m waiting for the first 40 mp cappuccino email camera.. Oh thats right there’s an app for that on the new iPhone.
