The Leica User Forum Book 2012 is now available

The Leica User Forum Book 2012 is now available on Blurb. £10 from the sale of each book will be donated to the The Association for International Cancer Research.

"This year, we have chosen to restrict the book to the 100 best photographs submitted to the judging panel. The standard of submission was at least as high this year as last time and the panel had an extremely difficult task in choosing the ones for inclusion. Unfortunately, this means that 167 submitted shots did not make the final 100 - we could easily have made two books. However, the 100 chosen are the work of over 60 Forum Members and are a testament to the talented people who contribute so much to the Leica community. 23 different cameras were used in the making of the book, the vast majority of which were Leica's current flagship rangefinder, the M9. Only 13 of the shots were made using film. Once again, the mosaic on the back cover shows all of the submissions."

    Until now, the Leica products, a popular German brand, were distributed in Italy by Polyphoto who made ​​a decisive contribution to the spread of the brand in Italy despite the fierce competition from Japanese brands. A collaboration of more than 30 years (since 1979) which is intended to stop the next April 1 (this is not a “fish” in April, but it’s true) when the new company Leica Camera Italy Srl will grasp distribution of Leica products.
    The company will be headed by Renato Rappaini.

    Leica had opened in the past 50 stores dedicated to its brand around the world (including one in Rome), following the trend of marks of honor, and from there came the decision to personally take care of the distribution.

    Leica is in full health and an increase of 23.6% in the first three quarters of last fiscal year and currently has a turnover of nearly 300 million euros.

    Recall that cooperates with Panasonic for the realization of optics for the products of Nissan.
