Leica has announced the M9-P, a “professional” variant of its already high-end M9 rangefinder. The only functional change is the sapphire crystal cover on the rear LCD, which also comes with anti-reflective coatings on both sides. Otherwise, the manual-fo

Ex-Stanford student Ren Ng is just about to launch a new kind of camera that will blow you away. Don’t believe me? Try clicking around on this photo of a Scuba diver standing in front of distant mountains. This is a single exposure, taken with one camera.
