Leica annual report 2009/2010

By LR admin | Published: August 2, 2010

Leica published its annual report for 2009/2010 and as expected, the results are excellent. There is a very positive introduction at the beginning of the report from the Chairman of the Board Rudi Spiller. His last words were:

“Photokina 2010 is approaching and you will see Leica Camera using the opportunity provided by the leading photography fair to continue its positive course”

My next post will be about Leica expectations/rumors/speculations for Photokina.

Here are the main financial numbers compared with previous years:

Leica M9, X1 owners can now download Adobe Lightroom 3

By LR admin | Published: July 28, 2010

Update: this is now official – today Leica posted the news on their Facebook page:

adobe lightroom leica m9 x1 s2 Leica M9, X1 owners can now download Adobe Lightroom 3

Leica M9, X1 owners can now download Adobe Lightroom 3I received a tip that Adobe Lightroom 3 is now available for download in the “Leica Owners’ Area” for all Leica M9, X1 owners that have not registered the previous version 2.

Last month Leica did mention that they are working on providing the latest version of Lightroom to new/unregistered owners.

I cannot confirm this news, since I have already downloaded v.2 – the new version was not available in my account.

I believe this offer will be valid also for Leica S2 owners.
