New limited edition Leica M 10
If you have 18,000 pound sterling burning a hole in your pocket, Leica, as usual has a way to lighten your burden.
Leica has just announced a 250-piece run of alimited edition M10 kit, designed by custom luxury car manufacturer Zagato.
This M10 ‘Edition Zagato’ comes with a special Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4
lens that sports a new integrated lens hood. The body will
also feature a new design to incorporate a handgrip on the right side.
The Zagato M10 is the same s the regular production M10 body, Because Zagato uses aluminum in it's cars, the camra
will use aluminum for its top deck, base plate and body shell. The
control dials and knobs, will also be made from aluminum. This design yields a body camera 70g lighter than a stock
M10. Instead of the classic Leica leather wrap there will be a series of ribbed grooves.
the The new hand grip should make the camera easier to hold. Personally this is a camera for rich collectors. But to each his own.Thursday, June 14, 2018
The view from the terrace
These views of Flushing Meadow Park landmarks were shot from Terrace on the Park. This park is also known as World's Fair Park because it was the site of the 1939 and 1964 world fairs. The shot of the Queens Museum is actually the old New York City's pavilion from the 1939 world fair and it was the original meeting place of the UN while the present headquarters were being built. Beyond it the famous Unisphere from the 1964 fair can be seen, The round structure in yellow, is from the 1964 world fair it was the New York State pavilion. After years of neglect it finally got some repairs and a new coat of paint. The roofed structure is the US Open tennis stadium with it's new roof. To the left City Field can be seen. Terrace on the Park dates from 1964.It was an heliport and the pavilion of the Port Authority of New York. It was later converted to a special events and catering site. New York always changes.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
