I had the chance to play with the new Leica V-Lux 2 camera for few minutes in my local Leica SIS. The camera is lighter (520 g/18.34 oz) and is smaller than its predecessor, the V-Lux 1.

Thank you for your response to my post yesterday critisizing the way way certain photo agencies seem content to abuse the rights of indvidual photographers. I am sorry that we misunderstood you. Might that have something to do with upholding a logic that many people find is at odds with your self stated remit of ‘defending professional photographers’?

David Farkas: Photokina 2010: Day 1 – Leica S System
CLICK NOTE: Cool information about the Leica S System from Photokina. This also caught my eye:
In one of my meetings during the day I had the opportunity to try out the M9 Titan. The camera is really a work of art and looking through the viewfinder and its bright red frame lines, I felt like I was targeting a missile or the like.

This summer Michael Wichita of AARP Bulletin asked me to work on a project looking at homelessness in America. The basis was for a section in the magazine called Databank USA that looks at issues in the US broken down by state.
