Leica Camera has awarded Jürgen Schadeberg the 2018 Leica Hall of Fame Award:
“With a stunning collection of lifeworks spanning more than seventy years, including his world-famous photo of Nelson Mandela looking through the bars of his former prison cell, Jürgen Schadeberg has never lost his humanistic view of the world. Many of his pictures have become timeless icons. Leica Camera honors exceptional photographers whose view of the world has changed it or set things in motion with a place in the Leica Hall of Fame, and Schadeberg has certainly earned his place in this prestigious collection.”

The previously rumored Leica D-Lux 7 camera (pictured above) will be announced next week on or around November 20th.
