Viewfinder and flash at the same time (D-Lux 4)

By LR admin | Published: March 18, 2009

This Panny has the Voigtlander 28/35 mini-finder and the lens cap mod. The point of this post @dpreview was to show that the flash can be used simultaneously with the viewfinder – same is valid for the Leica D-Lux 4.

Leica R10 – available Summer 2010

By LR admin | Published: March 17, 2009

Part of an email I received yesterday (I took the first portion of the email away to protect the identity of the reader):

“… who has close ties with Leica says the R10 digital is confirmed for Summer 2010. It will be with AF, and be accompanied by new lenses of course because the R lenses were discontinued.”

The above statement matches the previous report: R10 – announced in Jan 2010, available Summer 2010.

Leica S2 price = USD 7297?

By LR admin | Published: March 16, 2009

Too low to be true in my opinion, but a Latvian website has the Leica S2 listed for 3999.00 Ls (=USD 7297). Leica has not officially announced the S2 price yet, but I know one thing – if this is the real price, they will sell a lot of S2.
