Look at the guys outerwear rain gear - best in the world - look and you will see that despite the camera being covered in water drops, his clothing is absolutely dry ! This is a great advert for wherever he buys his clothing from ! Welcome, dear visitor!

Kristofferpaulsen Posted March 3, 2023 Share #3 Posted March 3, 2023 There's a great story a Leica rep told me where they were doing an SL2 thing where a fashion photographer was shooting models at the beach and getting the camera soaked, and at the end of the shoot he hosed the camera off under a tap.. the clip went on youtube, and then some knucklehead in Italy took it to mean that the SL2 was an underwater camera, bought the system, then took it underwater, and yeah obviously that didn't go well. He apparently then successfully sued Leica for misrepresentation.. Pretty funny. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huwm Posted March 3, 2023 Share #4 Posted March 3, 2023 If they want some shots of someone in actually soaked rainwear then they could do worse than give me a shout. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclectic Man Posted March 3, 2023 Share #5 Posted March 3, 2023 It is the droplets on the front element of the lens that indicates to me that it was posed, rather than a 'documentary shot'. I'd really like to see the result of a top professional taking an image with a lens covered in a dozen raindrops! (I will not be trying this at home.)

Stuart Richardson Posted March 3, 2023 Share #6 Posted March 3, 2023 I guess you guys think you would enjoy eating the hamburgers in a fast food advertisement too? Advertising is always artiface! That said, they cannot be overly misleading, so the camera can indeed tolerate water. And a hamburger in ad has to be “edible”, even if it is being sprayed with food safe shellac and all sorts of weird camera only tweaks to make it look better in a photo.

Photoworks Posted March 3, 2023 Share #7 Posted March 3, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was more surprised how they change lens to show the sensor right next to the crashing wave LOL I looks like they took out the lable from the hat too for the ad.

It was probably getting in the way of the subliminal messaging that was meant to make you associate his hat with the Leica red dot, and the red dot with warmth and safety in a stormy world.

Wurlitzer-1015 Posted March 25, 2023 Share #11 Posted March 25, 2023 We're all adults, we accept this for what it is. Everyone is trying to make a buck by associating with the Leica brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
