Trusted sources confirm: The Mini M image is real. Also Digilux series has that kind of Lens marks!

Short update on the Leica Mini M rumor. I got feedback from trusted sources and they confirmed that the image and specs I posted yesterday are correct.

One more thing: Quite many people argued that the Leica Mini M image must be fake because of the 28-70mm FF equivalent marks on the lens while the front of the lens says “18-46mm”. I just want to remind you that actually this confirms that the image is real :) Because the past Leica Digilux series had exactly that kind of “double” markings. See the images of the Digitlux 2 at Amazon (Click here). The camera has a 7 – 22.5 mm lens (marked on the front of the lens) and a zoom ring with the 28 – 90 mm equivalent mark. To make it easy for you I show you the image here:

So have peace. That’s the camera Leica will announce on June 11! It is going to challenge the Hasselblad Lunar in the category “most non-sense camera of the year” :)

 

A mirrorless pinhole camera made of wood!

Nowadays we are used to talk about new digital cameras only. But from time to time you still can find some “dreamer” developing film cameras. And the camera you see on top is a 4×5 pinhole camera made of wood! But this isn’t the only one made by Ondu (Click here). They also made 6×12, 6×6, 135 panoramic and a 135 pocket camera version. And if you think this camera will never have a sales success you proved to be wrong. The project already earned five times of the pledged money on Kickstarter. And that in one week only!

Going to buy one? :)
