It wouldn't necessarily make the Leica "better", and in the case of many pursuits, it would actually make it worse.Steven Geibel | Global Branding, Integrated Marketing Communications, and Advertising Professional.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02796568537723104356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-7959040160494891422017-10-25T15:19:11.536-05:002017-10-25T15:19:11.536-05:00Another great posting.

The picture is of the Leica M Red, a special edition model designed by Jony Ive and Mark Newson of Apple fame. The camera was created for a (RED) charity auction being put on by U2’s Bono. It was auctioned off at Sotheby's. Although it was expected to fetch $500,000-$750,000, it wound up selling $1.8 million. The camera was donated by Leica and was auctioned to help the (RED) charity fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-88923634978451338202017-10-25T15:18:21.036-05:002017-10-25T15:18:21.036-05:00I don't recognize the Leica camera on top of t...I don't recognize the Leica camera on top of the article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-87378950494530150362017-10-25T15:17:15.677-05:002017-10-25T15:17:15.677-05:00Of course it would.

This article was meant to show that perceived lack of fast focusing with non-autofocus lenses can easily be overcome by applying hyperfocal settings.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-53310747824874235002017-10-25T15:16:58.925-05:002017-10-25T15:16:58.925-05:00But wouldn't the addition of autofocus elevate...But wouldn't the addition of autofocus elevate the Leica M cameras even further?
