Between my wife, kids, and myself, I desperately need something like this.
If you are a Leica guy, you are familiar with the Leica Monochrom – Leica’s digital camera that shoots Black & White only. Surprising a lot of folks, Leica introduced a new version of the Monochrom yesterday based off a more modern 24mp CMOS sensor. I shot with the old version a few times and was really impressed, but it will be interesting to see if the CMOS sensor can keep the same feel and contrast of the older camera.
In any regard, Leica should have removed the sapphire protected LCD on the back of the camera entirely, added a physical ISO button, and called it done. I mean damn… This thing shoot black and white images only – why not strip it down to the bare essentials?
If you’ve got $7,500 to blow, you can do so here.
iPhone cases suck… They cover design. Design should never be covered… BUT, I’ve broken three screens in the last 6 months. Gorilla Glass sucks too. So, what to do? You could get one of those huge “life proof” cases or you could compromise with a Magpul. You know that name, right? They mostly make tactical accessories for the gun world. They are now kind of famous for their iPhone cases too.
Plus, they are cheap as shit.
It’s a 20mp camera with a f2.8 Leica lens first… and then a Android smart phone. Few details are available at the moment, but you can expect it in the states this summer for around $1000.
I’ve been looking for a simple bluetooth speaker… Something without a battery and big enough to provide real sound rather than mouse squeaks. Marshall heard about my needs and sent over one of their Stanmore speakers for me to test out. I immediately sent it back to them and ordered one of my own. It’s the perfect shop speaker – sounds huge, has a smallish footprint, and is as simple as a bluetooth speaker can be.
The damn thing costs $400, but honestly – it’s worth every bit of that. Buy yours from Amazon and if it doesn’t meet your expectations, just return it.
