The REAL SENSATION: R10 sighted!

[Rona|d]

The R10 beta tester says that the finder is so bright that Leica delivers sun glasses for free with the camera! Much brighter than good old SL2. Christmas time!

I wonder exactly what kind of sunglasses they are? Can you choose extra large frames? Is there a Leica logo on them? Is there a place to store them on the R10? What if you wanted silver frames instead of gold? Is there a surcharge, and then if they break, do they have to go to Leica repair for servicing? Can you use the camera with "off the shelf" sunglasses while waiting for the repair? Also, if they can't be repaired, and leica has to replace them, do you get a new matching R10 with them? Just wondering........

Nope, they are made of sapphire, no risk.

Ok, I'll bite ... is this the Jobs' "one more thing" for tomorrow's webcast? otherwise, why pouring salt on somebody's wound?

Is it an ASPHERICAL sun glasses?

Well they suffer focus shift ....
Then again they are pretty well in line with the camera so maybe they are the latest line of floating rearest element?
