Ralph Gibson’s new book “MONO”, which features images taken with the Leica M Monochrom, was released on December 11 at the Leica Store Lisse. Also announced at the event was the exclusive, limited edition Leica M Monochrom “Ralph Gibson”.
Leica Camera teamed up with the Miami Street Photography Festival to help bring back photography into Art Basel Miami. Featured events included portraits by Mark Mann with the Leica S-System and workshops with the Leica Akademie. Art Basel Miami was held on December 3 – December 8, 2013.
The price of the Leica X Vario camera dropped on Amazon by $170 from several different retailers. I have not seen a Leica price drop in a very long time (the original price was $2,850).
Update: the price is now down by $225 (8%).
To celebrate Leica´s 100th anniversary, Marcelo Ribeiro created this Leica DIY assembly kit.
Update: this Leica DIY was created for the Leica Store Sao Paulo, by F/Nazca (Saatchi & Saatchi Brasil) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the creation of the first Leica camera. The kit was supposed to be a gift for Leica Store SP customers who bought any M camera during the year but due to the final high production costs, the project never came to reality.
Shortly after being acquired by Leica, Sinar announced a new p MF-L adapter designed for the Leica S medium format camera.
Update: Sinar was showing the Leica P Leica S-mount at PDN this year:
