It was bulletproof,” he said. “But electronics today are not built with permanence in mind.” Electronics Designers Struggle With Form, Function and Obsolescence - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com What does that say for electronic Leicas (which seem to have some longevity for today's cameras) or any other electronic camera of today?

rob_x2004 Posted August 8, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2010 “If you purchased a Leica camera a hundred years ago it...” :DIt was a pre fake Russian made of coal. Instead of getting a hole burnt in the shutter because some clown let it sit wide open on the coffee table, some scrubber put it in the stove to brew coffee.

Tom Barry Posted August 9, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 9, 2010 If you purchased a Leica camera a hundred years ago, it would have been a miracle. There were no Leica cameras a hundred years ago. The first Leica camera was made in 1925. Maybe he meant binoculars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankap Posted August 9, 2010 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2010 If the first Leicas would have had electronic components, that would have been valves. Can we still buy for instance a 6K7 as a spare part? That means, that my IIIf will probably survive my Dlux-4! And I still have some Ektachromes (somewhere). Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
