tobey bilek Posted February 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) My copy of the USA Leica Historical Society Quarterly arrived yesterday. Interesting piece on the Viso 1 modified with a swing front standard. But what is really intersting is a R12 D is attached to the back of it. TWELVE is not a typo. What happened to 10 and 11? Supposedly there will be some announcements at Photokina about FF and 24 new lenses. 24 is not a typo either. My guess they are autofocus R lenses and maybe some for the Panasonic/Leica reflex whatever it is called. Can`t keep up anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdai Posted February 22, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2008 I've said that in the "any R10 beta testers?" thread, the new camera won't be called R10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you put a visoflex on the front of any camera, which is already a reflex, even in the unlikely event it would fit? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted February 23, 2008 Sorry. Should have said bellows one, not viso one. The camera has a front similar to the Nikon Canon fronts with a large clear vertical flat area under the pentaprism. Totally different than anything Leica has made. No I won`t post it as LHS has a copywrite on their publication. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted February 23, 2008 Share #6 Posted February 23, 2008 No point in posting the pic, it's a Canon digital SLR that someone's Photoshopped the words Leica and R12 onto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdai Posted February 23, 2008 Share #8 Posted February 23, 2008 I could never understand why some person would add a Leica sticker on to a Canon camera, that's sick ... and this is in LHSA magazine? give me a break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted February 23, 2008 Share #10 Posted February 23, 2008 I think it's great that there's clearly going to be an R12a too (otherwise, why the designation?) Film lives! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
