Polishing the Leica T camera
For the Anoraks.

While I get it, it kind of makes me not want to buy one.

Can't help thinking this is a publicity stunt to get everyone talking about Leica. The video wasn't made on April 1st was it?

Whatever amount of time they spend on polishing the body, one can only assume they spend 10 times that on the optics?
SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

It will sell in Australia for $5000.
It is made like a good old mechanical camera. But I am afraid it will not last as long. Like all other electronic gadgets, it will be very soon obsolete. And I do not think it will keep its value as well as a truly mechanical camera. I look at this like a quartz watch versus a mechanical watch. Collectors are rarely interested in the electronic time pieces, no matter how well made. No problem if you can afford to write it off in 4 years. The Leitz lenses are optically among the very best money can buy though, and well worth their price.

Since their cameras are so expensive, you'd at least think they could afford a dremel, or maybe even a couple of vibratory tumblers for their factory, wouldn't you? Times must be tough if they are down to doing it with a couple of wet and dry sheets on a stick!

I think the key word is 'marketing'.
