jimbo035 Posted September 3, 2009 Share #23 Posted September 3, 2009 Clearly not a GF1, fixed lens, round flash, and aps-c sensor. I hope its a fake though. Really ugly. the ugliest camera bearing the Leica name I've ever seen...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikasmg Posted September 4, 2009 Share #25 Posted September 4, 2009 Actually, for the Chinese world, it the number 8 (altho 9 ain't too bad either). An example was last year's Beijing Olympics, which started at 8 minutes after 8 pm, on August (the 8th month) 8th. The year was, of course, 2008. 8:08 pm, 2008/08/8. You also have to pay an awful lot of extra money to get a license plate for your car with lots of 8's on it. And you've got to avoid 4's as much as possible. Most high rise buildings have no 4th floor. And so it goes . . . The Chinese word for "eight" sounds a lot like the word for "luck" The Chinese word for "four" sounds a lot like "death" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijporter Posted September 4, 2009 Share #26 Posted September 4, 2009 The picture of the 'X1' being shown on other sites looks like something a clever home handyman has manufactured in his workshop. If it has come from Solms, I would think it to be, at best, a very early mock-up - albeit of an intriguing concept. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dng88 Posted September 6, 2009 Share #27 Posted September 6, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Chinese word for "eight" sounds a lot like the word for "luck"The Chinese word for "four" sounds a lot like "death" The Chinese word for "nine" can mean a dog but usually meant "forever" or "dragon". Six "nine" however in i-ching has very special meaning including one said that it meant a competition of all the kings, "good signs". But the "nine" has to be all "female"/"passive" otherwise it is too hype to be of any good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjmike Posted September 9, 2009 Share #32 Posted September 9, 2009 It's Ghost Month actually right now.... Ghost Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yes. Here in China, no one is going out at night and we're staying away from rivers, lakes & cemeteries. I'm not really sure why, but those are my (Chinese) wife's orders.
