Coraline has a Leica

Coraline has a Leica, originally uploaded by reynan.ali.

I watched the movie Coraline yesterday (not in 3D unfortunately) and I think it was great. I also did notice the camera – a Leica M3?. Do you think Leica paid for this product placement?

A little bit too early in my opinion. Leica D-Lux 5 coming next?

Leica price drop (US)

By LR admin | Published: February 5, 2009

A reader informed me (thanks PH) that Leica prices have dropped in the US by the amount of the mail in rebate that just expired at the end of January. For example:

Leica D-Lux 4 is now $699

Leica C-Lux 3 is now $499

Leica M8.2 is still $5995

The prices are the same in B&H and Adorama.

Leica D-lux 4 Lensmate Adapter now available

By LR admin | Published: February 2, 2009

As reported earlier, this is the Lensmate LX3/D-Lux4 46mm lens adapter:

Precisely machined from 6061 aluminum, in either black or silver anodized finish they complement the style of the Panasonic LX3 and Leica D-Lux 4. Allows the attachment of:

  • filters
  • step rings
  • conversion lenses

Also protects the delicate zoom lens and mechanism from damage.

The OEM lens cap was designed to clip into the trim ring (which is removed to attach a lens adapter tube) rendering it useless when you want to use a lens adapter.

Lensmate felt the OEM lens cap was so beautiful that they wanted to keep the integrity of the camera’s look and have designed lens cap adapter tabs that let you keep using the OEM cap even with a lens adapter or with any standard 46mm filter attached. They go on with a snap and are easy to remove when you want and retain the full function of the cap. Great for traveling and street photography – you can leave the camera on, ready for action without worrying about bashing that gorgeous Leica lens.
