Black-tape Leica M3 - Time magazine camera of the year?...


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I noticed yesterday the current Australian edition of Time magazine (December 18, 2006 / No. 50) has a black-tape covered M3 on its cover:

 

TIME Pacific Magazine - Table of Contents - December 18, 2006 / No. 50

 

... used to illustrate their "2006: The Best Photos of the Year" round-up:

 

Although the battle-scared M3 sure looks the part, I can't help wondering about the shots themselves, which would have all been taken using various forms of non-Leica DSLR.

 

But then again, I guess a "pool-loaner" Canon EOS on the cover just wouldn't have the same kind of recognition & nostalgia value, right?...

 

:?)

 

As to the photos themselves:

 

TIME: The Best Photos of the Year 2006

 

... FWIW I find the web slide-show to be better quality than the magazine reproductions (!) A hint of things to come?...
