Two
Leica cameras received top prizes at this year’s IF Design Award, the Leica T
and the Leica M Edition 60.
The
IF Design award encompasses five disciplines: Product, Packaging,
Communication, Interior Architecture and Professional Concept. Each of these categories
include several sub-categories which are awarded with the IF Gold Award. Of these, the Leica T received the award for “Product”
in the category of Audio/Video. The
camera received this award because of its design, its clear lines, smooth
surfaces and minimalist form. Part of
this decision was based on the fact that the camera is made from a single,
solid block of aluminum.

In
the same category the Leica M Edition 60 also received a design award. Part of the decision was based on the fact
that the camera, a special edition for the 60th anniversary of the
Leica M Messucher) rangefinder) camera, is based on the digital Leica M-P camera
with a fast 35mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH. It
is the first camera without a display, thus concentrating solely on the
functions necessary to take photographs: Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO
settings.

The
design of both of these cameras is the result of cooperation with Audi Design
in Germany.
