I haven't been using my Pentax much in the last year. More info here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/latest-board-news/38694-announcing-pentaxium-october-11th-2008-a.html I picked up one of my Pentaxes on the weekend and it felt quite alien to me now that I've been using my Leicas and Arax exclusively for so long.

It's the 60th anniversary of the unveiling of the Nikon 1 at Photokina. There was such hype coming from Nikon leading up to Photokina that many people were expecting something earth-shaking from them. But since the start of the show, Nikon has been really quiet. It seems like whatever the BIG thing was, its going to be unveiled at the WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers) show on Feb. 2009 as advertised on the ...

An announcement of the new Leica S2 SLR is expected. Like the specs of the original S1 digital studio camera back in 1997, the specs for the S2 are said to be staggering! 30x45mm sensor - 37MP. Leica invented auto-focusing back in the 1970's but it has finally decided to add the feature to a camera. 9 new lenses are expected. It camera is basically a medium-format digital SLR that is roughly the same size as the top Canon/Nikon.

The digital sensor is the same size as the 16mm format. The camera takes C-mount lenses and a number of other photography lenses via adapters including Leica M-mount lenses. It has 80gB of solid state memory, the body is solid, milled aluminium and has a very small form-factor. The only problem is the price - nearly $10,000 but it does include Ikonoskop's own 9mm f/1.5 lens. Here's the website. The lens shown mounted on the camera ...

Looks like Panaleica is coming out with a new camera that looks to be a direct response to the Ricoh GRD, which is very popular among RF shooters. I did read a recent interview with Leica's owner/CEO, Andreas Kaufman, describing what he would like to see in a digital p&s - good and fast wide-angle, a hot-shoe for an external viewfinder. It seemed that he was describing the Ricoh GRD. Well, I must say that the Panaleica DMC-LX3 looks pretty impressive ...

It seems that the very tiny market for this available light darkness lens was too small to bear the extreme price increases due to the US dollar going belly-up. However there quite a few people that insist that an even faster replacement must be coming from Leica. Even if that turns out to be true, this is certainly an end of an era. This ...
