Book description (Google translated):
Vi Vante recently introduced two new camera straps – the first one is the Vi Vante Matador Noir camera strap for Leica SL and other cameras with slotted strap mounts (Vi Vante | Amazon):
“Strong enough to pull a truck, refined enough for your camera; the Vi Vante Matador is now expertly handcrafted for cameras with slotted strap mounts. The Camera Strap is built for strength, stability, and comfort. There is no plastic hardware on this strap, we use a custom made electroplated buckle that looks like a piece of jewelry. Vi Vante knows only one way to do things, and that’s exceptionally.”
The second new camera strap is the Vi Vante CliffHanger (Vi Vante | Amazon):
“The Cliffhanger is a rugged, luxury camera strap, designed from the ground up by Vi Vante. The process was a unique one, we completely deconstructed multiple climbing ropes for the task. Then we combined the best elements of each to create a beautifully rugged, rope camera strap.”
Limited time offer – selected Vi Vante camera straps now come with a free color-matching metal Leica M-mount body cap:
The first full-frame digital rangefinder, the Leica M9, was officially announced 10 years ago (M9 0n 09.09.09).
Many Leica fans still consider the M9 one of the best Leica cameras ever made mainly because of the 18MP CCD sensor.
The previously registered Leica 2998 will be the new Leica SL2 mirrorless camera. The new SL2 will have a 47MP CMOS sensor (as I already reported), new “CINE mode” and of course 4k video. The SL2 will have Wi-Fi / Bluetooth and will be compatible with Leica FOTOS.
The codename of the new camera is “Vader”.
The official announcement is expected in September, but it could be postponed to October/November (or maybe announcement in September, shipping on October/November).
