Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / May 2004Leica Digital M Body - LEAK
JUST IN: Leica will release a digital body for M series lenses: http://biz.yahoo.com/djus/040206/1343000667_1.html http://tinyurl.com/2a8ez > JUST IN: > > Leica will release a digital body for M series lenses: > > http://biz.yahoo.com/djus/040206/1343000667_1.html That's not what the article says -- it says that Leica will *begin development* on a digital body for M lenses. Quite a difference. It's fake. The article, that is. Go to www.yahoo.com, and see if you can find it. > > JUST IN: > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > development* on a digital body for M lenses. > Quite a difference. > It's fake.

This is functioning prototype of a medium format Leica: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/leica-h/ -- Lassi In article <40335410.88C6A104@ieee.orgasm-research.invalid>, Lassi =?iso-8859-1?Q?Hippel=E4inen?= <lahippel@ieee.orgasm-research.invalid> wrote: > > I call bullshit.

I'm just guessing, but the out-the-door cost should be about 79-cents each. And true to the thread's subject, it LEAKs. > Well this one is real! > > http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1076724359.html What's the wind lever for? :-) When someone does make something like this (manual type digicam) with a full frame sensor I'd be interested. The digilux 2 looks neat but like all digicams will be obsolete as soon as it's released.

Flicking it a few times charges a bank of capacitors and, Voila!, you're ready to shoot. David J.

It serves the same purpose as the beat up fake collapsible Summisomething lens. Leica and digital seemed to be mutually exclusive and totally orthogonal to each other. Leicas are liked because you can beat one up for years without even a battery. Now with digital, you'll probably have to carry your solar panel, battery chargers, a sack load of batteries, a couple of hard disks, a laptop, a CD-burner, a sackful of CD-R's to last you on one vacation. It's no longer the Leica philosophy. > JUST IN: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://tinyurl.com/2a8ez Maybe this is what he's referring to? http://www.dpreview.com/news/0403/04031101epsonrd1.asp Bill Crocker > JUST IN: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://tinyurl.com/2a8ez > Maybe this is what he's referring to? > > http://www.dpreview.com/news/0403/04031101epsonrd1.asp What in god's name is the advance lever for? > > Maybe this is what he's referring to? > > > > http://www.dpreview.com/news/0403/04031101epsonrd1.asp > > What in god's name is the advance lever for? To prepare for the next shot, of course. Some years ago our coffee team occasionally ran out of cream, and we had to drink the coffee black, until someone got enough energy to buy more. Sometimes we even ran out of sugar. But even when drinking cafe brutal (i.e. no spices) most people stirred it before drinking it. -- Lassi P.S. It looks like an on/off switch. > > > Maybe this is what he's referring to? > > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > To prepare for the next shot, of course. Well, yes. It drives a generator. No self-respecting rangefinder would use batteries. David J.

It's like a slot machine! You keep pulling it, hoping to get your money back! Bill Crocker Maybe for shutter cocking since the thing has no motor?

From the bodyshape and the mentioning of Cosina, it looks like a voigtlander bessa R2. I will ask my friends there for details.

Plans for a Voigtlander branded version "can currently not be confirmed" oh well, photokina in a few months, we will see then :-) Jack D. >Maybe this is what he's referring to? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> >> http://tinyurl.com/2a8ez |
