    The Barack's Cine 5×7 camera had been bought by a c lector in Florida who later sold his entire collection, including the 5×7 camera to two other collectors, one from Rochester, NY and the other from Ohio. The items were divided by the two collectors with the one from Ohio keeping the 5×7 camera.

    Leica Store wrote a new post 12 years, 9 months ago

    Today, Leica has announced the new Leica D-Lux 6 – Glossy Black / Silver compact digital camera. The Leica D-Lux 6 – Glossy Black / Silver features the same great features as the standard D-Lux 6 and will be priced exactly the same. The camera has the same look as if you put a silver chrome M lens on a glossy black M body. All existing D-Lux 6 accessories, such as the EVF-3 electronic viewfinder, battery, hand grip, CF 22 flash and cases are all fully compatible.

    Leica's official press release:

    Leica Camera expands the Leica D-LUX 6 family with the introduction of the Leica D-LUX 6 glossy black / silver color option. The D-LUX 6 glossy black / silver has a glossy black painted body and a silver painted lens. With this new color combination, Leica is also introducing a soft pouch in black Nappa leather which is easy to use and is based on the wrap-around concept. This new case can be used with any D-LUX 6 camera.

    The Leica D-LUX 6 is one of the most popular cameras in Leica’s range of compact cameras and is known for its outstanding image quality. The camera will be available in December and is available to all Leica Stores, Boutiques, and dealers.

    The Leica D-Lux 6 – Glossy Black / Siver will begin shipping in December 2013. For more information or to place a pre-order, order online, call Leica Store Miami at 305-921-4433 or send us an email.

    I am a film shooter. Used to be a digital shooter for awhile but it isn't photography for me it was more computer manipulation than photographing the truth. Shooting film is much more rewarding for me.
