Leica camera + Fiji water

“When Leica meets FIJI Water, the combination introduces a new concept of quality life style. When photographer shoot on-site, having an excellent camera like Leica M8.2 is not enough, staying hydrated is also an essence. Hydration not only influences the photographer’s body and mind, but it also plays an important part in the outcome of the photograph. When dehydrated, the skin of the model would be dry and coarse, and fail to contribute to the photograph. At this moment, if there were a bottle of FIJI Water at hand, with its high profile of minerals, the dehydration problem would be solved in no time. FIJI Water has a high profile of silica, hence the soft, smooth taste, letting you stay hydrated throughout the photo shoot.”

What? Is this Leica’s new marketing strategy? Wow, I am sure they will sell a lot of cameras that way…

Lee RF75 Rangefinder Holder System

RF75 Rangfinder Filter HolderThe RF75 Filter System has been designed to offer a high quality precision filter holder that is compact, lightweight and will fit to lenses with a diameter of 67mm or less.

The holder is primarily offered to users of rangefinder and high end digital compact cameras, but will equally be of use for large and medium format users who require a smaller, more compact filter system.

The RF75 System includes a full range of filters sized 75mm x 90mm. These filters are hand made to the same exacting quality standards of colour and optical flatness found in the renowned LEE 100mm System. In keeping with the smaller size, the filter graduation zones have been adjusted to suit the smaller system. These changes have been made through extensive testing and in conjunction with top landscape photographers.

When ordering any filters for the RF75 System it is recommended that you prefix the filter name with ‘RF75′ to ensure you receive the correct size filters i.e. RF75 0.6 Neutral Density Hard Graduated Filter.

The RF75 System is equally at home on film and digital cameras and is available as individual components or as sets including both filters and hardware.

Read a review of the RF75 System by leading U.K. Landscape Photographer Joe Cornish.
