More info started to surface about the rumored Leica camera cell phone, but this time no one is mentioning the Leica part. Not sure if this was a mistake, or Leica did actually provide some technology to Samsung, but did not want to be associated with such product. My guess is that it was a mistake, since Samsung has its own line of digital cameras and I don’t see why they would use Leica except to charge a very high price (which would be the case for this cell phone – camera combo).
Anyway, here are some more info on this 8 megapixel camera phone:
Update: it seems that the US price for the Leica D-Lux 4 Titanium will be the same as the regular black D-Lux 4, which makes this a really good deal.
The price actually is not that bad – 677.00 GBP (995 USD). Expected delivery January 2009. This is a limited edition D-Lux 4 and only 500 pieces will be available worldwide. Only 50 will be available in the UK.

The German company Novoflex will offer an adapter that allows Leica M lenses to be attached to Micro Four Thirds cameras. I am not sure if this is the same product reported by Leica Rumors few days ago.
Novoflex does not provide much info on their website – here is the direct product link:
New adapter for cameras with bayonet FourThirds
Lenses are available for the following:
M42 (FT / CO), Contax / Yashica (FT / CONT), Leica R (FT / LER)
Nikon (FT / LCI), Olympus OM (FT / OM) and Pentax (FT / PENT).
The price of the adapter will be 149 (around US $190) and it should be available later this month.
Leica is offering a discount from 15% to 25% to students enrolled in photography programs in post-secondary academic institutions. I could not find anything official on their website – maybe they are trying to keep this secret?
