jaapv Posted January 27, 2021 Share #3 Posted January 27, 2021 Leica Safari editions with short lenses have always struck me as somewhat ridiculous. The camera might survive photographing big game on Safari with a 28 mm lens -Leicas are solidly built-, but the photographer will certainly be eaten by a Lion, chomped by a Hippo and gored by a Buffalo... OTOH, they go perfectly with a snappy Harrods' Safari suit and a Pith Helmet. 4 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted January 27, 2021 Share #5 Posted January 27, 2021 Better with black lens IMO, as Leica markets this new edition. Safari fights rather than complements aesthetics. Jeff 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer911 Posted January 31, 2021 Share #8 Posted January 31, 2021 Very stylish and it is a positive aesthetic statement backed up with a solid technical foundation. Thanks for posting this shot. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkmoore Posted February 1, 2021 Share #10 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I just added the Safari 28 to my black camera bodies. The reporter looks nice! Welcome, dear visitor!

I agree with JAAP that I won’t be channeling my inner Bruce Davidson with any lions or tigers with a 28. 🤠🤠 But it looks cool.

I agree with JAAP that I won’t be channeling my inner Bruce Davidson with any lions or tigers with a 28. 🤠🤠 But it looks cool. I like the safari lens better on black body than safari body (too much colour match, silver is best on safari body), or on reporter body (which I love the looks of, but was better looking with black lenses). That said, I am not too fond of cammo colours on Leica bodies either. Prefer a nice looking khaki colour strap!

If I'm ever famous enough to have a limited edition there will likely be some component of camo, which means they may only sell 1! : ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The functional advantage is likely to be very small, as the lens hood barely protrudes over the front edge of a screwed-on UV filter when it is pulled out. Perhaps one should screw on an additional lens hood for a better effect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with no hood I hardly have any undesired affects unintentionally. it extends about 1/4 inch past the outer edge of the leica UVA filter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the safari editions go into the bush about as often as the average 4 wheel drive vehicle in the US goes off road. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if the finish of the safari and reporter editions is theoretically more durable and scratch resistant than the standard black and silver chrome?
