If you think the latest digital camera offering is expensive, think again. That is why collectors have been gunning for Leica Cameras.

There’s a new record for the world’s most expensive camera: a Leica 0-Series camera, which was a 1923 prototype for the groundbreaking Leica A, the first commercially successful 35mm compact camera sold at WestLicht Photographica auction in Vienna for €2.16 million (about $2.8 million).

After using the K-01 for more than a month, I kind of dress up my camera for various assignments:



1) I modified a RRS L-Bracket for Sony NEX7 to fit the Pentax K-01. It allows me to do some serious panoramic work in portrait orientation. All my Nikons has a L-Bracket on. Notice that I don't use the supplied camera strap. I like the Gariz leather hand strap which fits very well and giving me a very good grip on the camera.



2) I like the ...

We are pleased to announce our PMPE, a PhotoSafari to Padang, Indonesia. The highlights of this PhotoSafari trip is the adrenaline rush Bull Run or Pacu Jawi as the Indonesian called it.
Pacu Jawi is usually held at the end of the harvesting season. Bull breeders and Buyers come together and trade their bulls.

Dpreview has just posted an in-depth review of the much waited Nikon D800.

By Dpreview:-

When the Nikon D800 was announced, the specification that got everyone’s attention was – and to a large degree still is – the massive pixel count of its 36.3MP CMOS sensor. When a moderately-sized full-frame DSLR body aspires to go toe-to-toe with medium format cameras and backs at a fraction of their price, other attributes can seem secondary. But don’t be misled. Coming as a successor to the now 3 1/2 year oldD700, Nikon has updated much more than just the resolution. The D800 has a significantly more advanced feature set than its predecessor, particularly in terms of its video capabilities that make it, on paper at least, a viable and tempting option for professionals.

At the heart of the D800 is a brand new Nikon-developed sensor that boasts ...
