Coraline has a Leica

Coraline has a Leica, originally uploaded by reynan.ali.

I watched the movie Coraline yesterday (not in 3D unfortunately) and I think it was great. I also did notice the camera – a Leica M3?. Do you think Leica paid for this product placement?

Leica price drop (US)

By LR admin | Published: February 5, 2009

A reader informed me (thanks PH) that Leica prices have dropped in the US by the amount of the mail in rebate that just expired at the end of January. For example:

Leica D-Lux 4 is now $699

Leica C-Lux 3 is now $499

Leica M8.2 is still $5995

The prices are the same in B&H and Adorama.
