wda Posted April 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) ... an April 1st joke? I doubt the latter because the cropped picture attached appeared up to two weeks ago. But look closely at the Leica rangefinder camera shown on the WhiteWall advertisement page and you will see what clearly appears to be a left-handed version for left-handed photographers. There are no red faces to be seen elsewhere in the advert. Or could it be a deliberate new product placement? Welcome, dear visitor!

Stealth3kpl Posted April 1, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2014 I think someone just photoshopped it that way for aesthetics. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalHeMan Posted April 1, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 1, 2014 Possibly just someone who got a bit creative in the photoshop department and mirrored the camera? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjh Posted April 2, 2014 Share #8 Posted April 2, 2014 Well, either it’s a left-handed camera complemented with a left-handed lens – or Photoshop. What’s more likely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted April 3, 2014 Well, either it’s a left-handed camera complemented with a left-handed lens – or Photoshop. What’s more likely? I agree. Though I am surprised that it slipped past the authoriser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted April 3, 2014 Share #11 Posted April 3, 2014 Hello Everybody, This might also be a flipped negative. Remember film? The negative might have been inadvertantly reversed while someone was positioning a separate image of the camera within the scene. The Summilux that is on the camera is certainly old enough to remember film. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgenper Posted April 6, 2014 Share #12 Posted April 6, 2014 Well, either it’s a left-handed camera complemented with a left-handed lens – or Photoshop. What’s more likely? Not only left-handed, but the bayonet mount itself has to be mirrored, if the red dot sits where it does. Secret cooperation with Nikon? Or, visitor from the anti-matter universe, ready to explode at first contact with our reality? Seriously, the TIPA poster on the same table has correct text orientation. So, the whole thing must be a montage…. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted April 6, 2014 Share #14 Posted April 6, 2014 I only now see the genius of naming the M10 the 'M' because M reversed is still M. Very clever. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
