• LEICA drops a BOMBSHELL!

  Full-frame? PSHHHH!! Haha... How about SUPER-FRAME? (I dunno, just made it up!)

  But seriously folks. Leica just announced a DSLR with a 30x45mm sensor. That's 56% larger than full-frame, with the same 2:3 image ratio.

  Thirty-seven megapixels!

  There is almost no other information, except for the fact that it should be about the same size as other flagship DSLR's out there, it has weather-sealing, and dual shutters, one an in-lens leaf shutter that ought to allow infinitely high flash sync.

  Speaking of lenses, they of course have a full range of new lenses to go with this new monster format. In this particular format, 70mm is the new 50mm.

  It is going to be a VERY interesting Photokina, and that's ALL I'm gonna say for now!

  Back to work,
