Taking the Leica Q to the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance

leica收購

The Concours d’Elegance is an automobile festival held in cities across the country where you can find the ultimate in ultra-rare and ultra-exotic cars and motorcycles. The Concours is not where you usually see new concept vehicles debut or the latest Porsche Boxster (go to the New York, Los Angeles, or Detroit auto shows to see those). This is where you get up close with vintage vehicles so rare and priceless, many of them never come out of their garages outside of being displayed at the show. Everything from vintage and modern Ferraris, to Aston Martins, to World War I- and World War II-era motorcycles can be seen in their glorious splendor.

There are independent Concours held all over the country, with the largest and most famous being held in Pebble Beach, California. But if you’re on the East Coast, like I am, the Greenwich, Connecticut Concours is where it’s at. And it just so happened that
leica收購leica lent me its new camera to test the very weekend the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance was happening. The

I did what anyone else with my fortuitous timing and fortunate location would do: I took a camera I could never afford to a car show full of cars and motorcycles that I’ll never be able to drive (and also can’t afford). Unsurprisingly, the results are pretty great — I got a lot of pictures of really fancy cars with shallow depth of field and cool artsy angles when I remembered that I was taking pictures for the website and not just gawking at cars I rarely ever see. (Ok, FINE, I was there mostly to gawk.) The show had its share of sick Lambos, vintage Ferraris, adorable Fiats with wicker interiors, and even a mid-1980s Soviet limousine that Mikhail Gorbachev could have easily found himself in. Needless to say, attendees were taking lots of photos and I wasn’t the only person there with a

Anyways, enjoy the photos below. I hope you like looking at them as much as I liked taking them.

今年適逢迪士尼創立 100 周年,由於迪士尼動畫誕生當時,就與徠卡相機締結淵源頗深的合作關係,徠卡相機官方表示,為慶祝迪士尼一百週年,並紀念該電影工作室的成立,雙強品牌聯袂推出以「奇妙百年,奇遇有你」為主題的徠卡Q2特別版相機套組,於今年四月起正式發售,全球僅限量500套。

徠卡表示,迪士尼動畫誕生之初,該工作室就是使用徠卡(當時的Leitz徠茲)相機和投影儀等設備,在那個年代率先創作出複雜的動畫分鏡,在當時藉由新型徠卡設備的助力下,迪士尼工作室極大地改變了動畫電影的製作技術,對行業產生了深遠的影響。

特別一提的是,「徠卡帶(

今年推出的限量版「徠卡Q2迪士尼」特別版相機,機身設計靈感源自於,1937年由華特迪士尼公司著名動畫師唐·托斯利(Don Towsley)創作的一個動畫模型手繪板。特別版相機採用特殊裝飾材料,於機身頂蓋印有專屬的米奇圖案,讓喜愛影像與迪士尼動畫的粉絲們作為珍藏紀念。

另,套裝組合內容則是搭配一個印有原版迪士尼圖案的特別版防塵袋,與一條特別版的相機背帶。

「徠卡Q2迪士尼」特別版相機4月起,在全球徠卡商店、徠卡線上商店和授權經銷商處發售,建議零售價為 222,800元。
