Leica Hermes MP – another limited edition

By LR admin | Published: June 24, 2009

Update: this model was already released back in 2003. The Hermes limited edition Leica camera is now even on eBay. False alarm!

It seems that this time Leica has teamed up with the French designer house Hermes to create another Leica MP limited edition:

Leica M9/M8.3 rumor links

By LR admin | Published: June 17, 2009

There has been some confusion about the future of the R10 and potentially the upcoming full frame M9/M8.3 in the past few days since Stefan Daniel from Leica has given us the news. Here are some links from the Leica forum that discuss in details what exactly happened – after all some of those people were present at that Leica Forum meeting in Hessenpark and heard it first hand:

  • M9 on track
  • Hessenpark News: Official – No R10: no FF M9 (yet)

Just another Leica M9 rumor

By LR admin | Published: June 16, 2009

I keep receiving bits and pieces of information about the M9 – here is the latest one:

“It will be 18 MP, FF, sensor made by Kodak, software made by PhaseOne.
Overpriced as all things made by Leica.”
