Please respect the visual property of the contributing photographer.As detailed in my Leicaflex page, Leica was slow to respond to the growing threat of Japanese single-lens reflex cameras. But by the 1970s, it was clear that SLRs represented the future of camera design. While Leica was superb at designing lenses, their previous camera bodies were largely mechanical and they could not compete with the auto-exposure features in the electronic marvels from their Asian rivals. Using the text or images on this website without permission on an ebay auction or any other site is a violation of federal law. To solve this, Leica teamed up with the Japanese company Minolta to design a new series of single-lens reflex cameras to replace the Leicaflex series. So all I am saying is : If you are damn sure you are saying the truth, don't be afraid and let anybody get to you, otherwise you would be another person in denial and you would be lying to yourself for a long, long time.Leica borrowed the electronics and some of the chassis technology from the Minolta XD and XE cameras to produce the Leica R3 and R4 cameras ( more info here). ![]() The kinder one wanted me to shut up.įunny time is was, anything given time, all that denial becomes nothng, and the truth remains the truth. Regarding blasphemy, they are wrong, only when a person bad mouth God and do something to disgrace him, then it is blasphemy. I paid my money for the most expensive camera in the world (If you think of what they actually are, how the cost was amortized, and what the actual cost is for the exec's Porsche and Mercedes)Īnd yet we have to deal with a design flaw that wasn't there in the older models, a simple flaw that doesn't exist in the first place, everybody in the forum gave me hell, some even wanted to kicked me out of the Leica forum because they think it is blasphemy. A few years ago, I was one of the few avocates blasting Leica for producing such an archiac yet very expensive camera. ![]()
