A recent filing with the Taiwan National Communications Commission (NCC) reveals a new Leica C type 112 camera with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. My guess is that the official announcement will be this fall (see this interview with Dr. Kaufmann where he confirms that new products will be announced in fall and next spring).

Two videos shot with the Leica M Type 240 camera

Electric Coffee Company (FilmConvert Grade) from Edmond Terakopian on Vimeo.

The story of the Electric Coffee Company ( http://www.electriccoffee.co.uk ) in Ealing, London; its refurbishment, its re-opening, its coffee and the importance of community and the individuality of shops and cafes.

Shot entirely on the Leica M (Type 240) using a Leica 28mm Summicron ASPH, 35mm Summilux ASPH FLE and 50mm Noctilux ASPH, with some shots using a Leica OUFRO macro adapter. Ambient audio recorded on the internal microphone and interview recorded on a Roland R26 using a Rode lavalier microphone. Edited using FCP X. Partially colour graded in “Color” by Neil Patience ( http://www.patience.tv ). Final grading with FCP X and Film Convert. A Manfrotto 561BHDV video monopod was used for all shots apart from the interview, for which a Gitzo video tripod was used. I also used a Lee RF75 filter holder & hood, along with Lee ND filters.

If you liked the film, it would be super if you could vote for it (one click, no registration) please:
