“I carried the Leica MP around my neck in a thin waterproof bag to stop the moisture from my breath landing and then freezing on the viewfinder. The camera was instantly accessible all day every day, no matter how cold it got. Every time I wanted the camera to work, it did. The focusing was fast and the shutter never failed – not once – during the entire expedition. Missing a shot because of camera failure due to severe cold was never a worry, no matter how low the temperature reached.”

“You’re so lucky”. This was the greeting I got from a wedding photographer; someone I had never met. Alas she didn’t seem to be talking about me, my dress sense, my personality or my photography. She was talking about the fact that I had a Leica M9 around my neck. There are occasions when cameras spark off conversations between complete strangers in the field, but I have to say that none have induced more talking and question asking than the Leica M9. It seems to be a magnet for chatty photographers from all spectrums of the profession.

The Leica customer has been and will remain essentially the same: serious amateur and professional photographers who demand the best and finest. There may exist more affordable cameras. We are focused on creating the best.
Full details on the new Leica Cinema lenses can be found at bandpro. The price is not publicly announced, but you can get a quote (I just did). I am sure it will be a 5 digit number (for one lens, in US$). Here is the actual size of one of the Leica Cinem
