Leica news, before it happens

Anat Ronen created this 20 x 15 feet drawing of a Leica M3 camera in Sarasota, Florida:

This was created during the Sarasota Chalk Festival – 1-7 November, 2011. For the first time, it had a “going vertical” addition – meaning murals and graffiti art. The wall belongs to a photography studio, and the owner took the reference picture that was the basis for the mural. I came up with the idea, and him being a photographer, took a picture of his own favorite camera. I work with brushes – the main mural measures 15’x20’ and was completed in 3 full days.

You can see the rest of the pictures on Facebook.

At a recent Leica Experience Day in Germany, Dr. Kaufmann made a comment suggesting another surprise for next year in addition to the upcoming Leica M10 and new mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras:

“He promised more than one surprise for next year – and he told us that they haven’t been discussed or discovered by Leica Rumors or the Leica Forum until now.”

I know one thing for sure – this surprise is not going to be a price reduction of Leica products.
