Re: Photokina - latest

ZEISS : The Zeiss Ikon is very real, as are the lenses and all are beautifully finished, the aux. finders look a little delicate.
A beautifully simple clean design and feels qualitively superb, the back door of the prototype I handled seemed to be a little weak,
but I didn't get the chance to look at it in detail, so many others were wanting to play.
The PRICE : Very probably between 1500 and 1800 euros, this may be revised closer to the release date, no price info on lenses
available as yet. The Zeiss people are all VERY excited about the Ikon.


Auxiliary finders??? What does the real VF show for frame lineLEICA : The a la carte leicas are a wonderful way of ruining a perfect camera - Leica says that all the finishes offered are as a result
of customer demands/enquiries, they pull out what looks like a furnishing catalogue with leather samples and metal finishes and
away you go.

What do you expect, now that Hermes group of luxo/snob gear owns the company? I'm, surprised they were not pushing Hermes leather camera bags...
