Salgado, Ralph Gibson and finally Lenny Kravitz.

I can't believe they are skipping Bryan Adams and Seal.

Whatever happened to Howard Jones? He owned a chrome R4 back in '89.

I wish Dolly Parton used a Leica, maybe she does and nobody at Leica wants you to know, but it would be one for the collectors wife. As rhetoric it begs the question what has Lenny Kravitz done for photography with a Leica that Annie Leibovitz for example hasn't exceed? It's starting to look like very much like a mans club in the little room where they dream these up.

I didn't know Lenny was designing the new Monochrom.

I ran into him a couple of weeks ago in NYC while on a shoot.

He was storming back to his trailer after throwing a minor fit at the set.

Perhaps sharing some of my Monochrom love would have helped his mood? :D

Who is buying these special editions anway? I don’t really get the collector mind-set so I have no idea what would appeal to this type of customer. Maybe Leica has. <shrug>

 

Its the same as for Cars. The new model goes out the door pretty fast, then things slow down a bit, dealers have to discount to compete against the second hard market, margins shrink, along come the special editions ... and then eventually the next model.

 

I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that Leica will eventually get around to something _really_ new. So far they are milking the camera platforms for all they are worth.

 

Perhaps an M with an integrated EVF :cool:
