Obviously, it’s new camera season… And Sony just dropped a bomb. How about a full frame mirrorless camera the size of a micro-4/3 kit that doesn’t cost $7000? Introducing the Sony a7 and a7R. I think The Camera Store did a good job on the review. Check it out:
Fuji is the new Leica – making serious photography tools for minimalist, but they also have some branding to do. Enter Millican and their new British made bags just for the X-series. I use old military bags for my cameras, but this ain’t bad.
Apple has, on some level, always wanted to be Leica. And Leica, of course, has suddenly wanted to become more of a fashion brand like Prada. So, it’s only natural that the two get together a build a special edition one-of-one camera to be auctioned off by Sotheby’s. I’m betting this hunk of shit will sell well north of $50k.
You know Evernote, right? They make a pretty popular piece of software that organizes your life. I use it… when I’m in an “organized” mood. Anyway, they just finished a collaboration on a wallet. And, you know? I like it.
I shot Leica stuff almost exclusively for three years. Frankly, it was hard to do. Not because the equipment was bad (it was phenomenal), but because anything with a red dot is so oppressively expensive that I was almost afraid to take it anywhere. I’m over that now. I sold off my M9 and most of my Leica glass. In fact, the only German made camera stuff I have left is a film M6 and an old 50mm Cron from the glory days of Leica. I imagine I’ll take those two to the grave with me.
