For MJP & Interested Parties...Leica lenses @ Photokina 2K14


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello again TV photogs...yeah...it's me extolling them Leica's again.

In my last post concerning the new Leica S (model 007), btw...any reference

to the real 007 I wonder or is it simply a number? I mentioned that I would

not post anything about the new Leica lenses showcased at Photokina 2014.

Well...due to overwelping questions as to "Why Not Sunshine?" and MJP's

request to do so....here they are in link form. Seems as though Leica is redoing

the old unisex thing to a couple of them for the 21st Century...to me anyway.

Mind you...I bet they are some fine lenses in true Leica tradition....but c'mon...

unisex lenses...hah!

Here's those links...and a pic. Stop drooling MJP...

Do they come with a free cleaning kit?

No...But if you want the cleaning kit without the red Leica meatball on it

Leica will charge you 50 quid more than the one with the red meatball on it.

Such is life eh....

You could always hold the lens steady in a vice and file or grind it off I suppose.

Hey Worx, imagine having money, I mean real money. I'm not a materialistic type, hell I drive an old car and wear supermarket clothes . . . but I could blow a quarter of million quid in one afternoon on gear.

If I had money.

Which I don't.
