I am surprised that the recently introduced Leica T did not generate any comments!
My opinion of that camera is that it is a hohum, mediocre product targeted at the fashion conscious. I have no need for it at the MRSP.
While discussing it with my son, a interventional radiologist, I mentioned that the Leica T frame is mentioned as being hand polished for 45 minutes. That it beautifully made. Unibody design ala Apple.
I mentioned the Leica lenses. And repeated all the marketing talk. Back to basic photography...but wasn't the Nikon DF supposed to be that?, he asked.
Dad, he said, I can use your basic photography MP, M7 or the digital Ms with the Leica lenses you have.
The rangefinder experience is Leica.
Come he said. So he took me on round of his professional equipment. Fit for purpose and meticulously designed and produced. Beauty has its place..but to me, he added, imaging is more than job..it really is a question of life or death. Not snapshots for the status seekers.
Different strokes for different people and purpose.
