Leica Announce Winners Of Their X Contest

A little while ago we announced that Leica was conducting a contest that featured their X-model cameras. People who used these cameras with their superb lenses were invited to send in images on-line for judgement and there was a selection of valuable prizes for the winners in various categories. Arrangements could even be made to borrow a Leica X camera to shoot for an entry to the contest. A number of people took Leica up on this.

The results are in and Leica have made their decision. If you were part of the contest, or would just like to see some great photography,  we have advised that you can go to:

I've done so but it does not seem to connect quite yet - the leicarumour page comes up alright, but the rest of it still seems to be buried. Undoubtedly Leica themselves will make the matter clear in good time - you might drift over to their site and see...

Flash Bang Wallop! New Leica Vario News! Here! Now!

Pardon the exuberance, and be grateful that Blogger only allows a moderate size of font - otherwise we would have a WAR DECLARED! banner above this post.

The New Leica X-Vario that we blogged about on Wednesday night at 9:00:15 ( to comply with the advertising embargo. Oh it is all intrigue in the camera game...) is HERE! NOW!

Brent the Storeman is prising it out of the packaging with a jemmy bar as I type and you can come in to the shop and give it a test shot today - provided there is a bit of German electricity in the battery.

Saul is beside himself. You can add whatever punchline you want to that one, but do come in and have a look at the new camera.
