帶著徠卡去攝獵

春天，是綠色的。大地充滿朝氣，萬物也被滋養，生生不息。我們雖被經濟的大氣候籠罩著，但大自然卻給予我們正面和希望的訊息。同時，也喚醒著我們，叫我們要出外走走，看看四時之變化。在這春日裡，德國徠卡相機公司推出了M8.2 Saferi限量版綠色機身，正有著“狩獵”的意思，配合多款徠卡新品及活動，我們一起帶著徠卡去攝獵吧！

Hunting for photos with your Leica

The first green shoots of spring are showing themselves. The ground is swelled with moisture, nourishing every living thing, and the world teams with life. We may be stuck with the current economic climate, but nature can still give us messages of hope and optimism. At the same time, it can also awaken us. It exhorts us go out and walk around, and to see the changes all about us. Leica Camera AG latest M8.2 Safari Limited Edition is so named for precisely this reason in addition combines with several Leica new products and activities. Let’s go out and hunting with Leica in that green season.

New special edition. The LEICA M8.2 ‘Safari’

狩獵版相機套裝

德國徠卡相機公司宣佈推出LEICA M8.2 Edition “Sa-

far i” 狩獵限量版套裝，每款套裝內包括：L EI CA

M8.2“Safari”橄欖綠色機身、LEICA ELMARIT-M 28mm

f/2.8 ASPH 銀色鏡配金屬銀色遮光罩、E39 UV/IR銀

色濾鏡、Billingham Combination Bag M“Safari”橄欖

綠相機袋及“Safari”真皮相機帶。

全球限量500套

Leica M8.2 Edition“Safari”是專為追求獨特、刺激

而又同時想保持低調的攝影追求者所設計。橄欖

綠的特別版機身，徠卡只曾生產過兩次。第一次

是1960年 Leitz提供給德國聯邦國防軍“Bunde swe-

hr”，為隱蔽式監視及記實攝影時所用。第二次

就是1977 / 78年的LEICA R3“Safari”。時至今日，

這兩款特別版型號的相機，已成為極之珍貴的相

機收藏品。

相機：LEICA M8.2“Safari”

機身頂蓋、底板、機背以及機身皮革 “Vulkanit”

都造成橄欖綠，與 “S af ari”狩獵的意思相互呼

應。　頂蓋刻有傳統Leica商標，機身上所有可活

動的按鈕都造成銀色，與銀色的鏡頭保持一致

性。相機規格則與M8.2完全相同。

鏡頭：LEICA ELMARIT-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH

輕巧、靈活多變、可適用在各種攝影場合的

28m m鏡頭，特別鑄造銀色限量版，並只與“Sa-

fari”搭配作套裝組合。以鋁金屬鑄造的鏡身，

能使重量維持在180克，與黑色版鏡身的重量相

同，輕巧靈活。配以金屬鑄造的銀色遮光罩，堪

稱完美配搭！

Billingham Combination Bag M“Safari”相機袋

英國相機袋製造商 B i l l i n g h a m ，特別為 L E I C A

M8.2“Safari”製造了同樣是橄欖綠的相機袋。相

機袋以防水物料“FibreNyte”造成，配以棕褐色的

肩帶，與“Safari”徠卡相機組成完美套裝。內裡

活動式層格可依照不同相機及鏡頭作出調整。

相機肩帶：奢華真皮Leica相機肩帶

棕褐色真皮肩帶，底層為防滑皮革，可防止相機

從肩膀下滑。肩帶中央刻有Leica經典圓形商標，

兩邊則以明顯的縫紉線作點綴。從設計到製造，

都可見徠卡的用心設計。

Leica M8.2 Edition“Safari”狩獵限量版套裝全球

限量發行5 0 0套。 2 009 年2月起發售，每套售價

HK$75,000 。

With the special edition LEICA M8.2 ‘Safari’, Leica Camera AG, Solms presents a camera set with an olive green outdoor look. This exclusive special edition is limited to 500 cameras worldwide.

The LEICA M8.2 ‘Safari’ set includes a LEICA M8.2 camera body in olive green paint finish and a silver anodised LEICA ELMARIT-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. lens with a metal lens shade in classical design and a silver E39 UV/IR filter. The technical specifications of both camera and lens are identical to those of the standard models. A premium quality, real leather carrying strap completes this unusually finished set. The strap is made of brown calfskin leather and is embossed with a subtle Leica logotype. The LEICA M8.2 ‘Safari’ edition also includes a matching camera bag. The British camera case and bag specialists, Billingham, have created a matching camera bag in olive green with

brown trim especially for the ‘Safari’ edition. The bag offers sufficient room for the set, additional lenses and accessories.

The LEICA M8.2 ‘Safari’ edition camera model is in a durable olive green paint finish that is characterized by a particularly comfortable feel and grip. The vulcanite leathering of the camera body also follows the colour scheme of the top plate, the base plate and the camera back. This special paint finish lends the camera an appearance ideal for outdoor use and underlines the camera’s status as an unobtrusive tool for reportage photography.

The controls of the LEICA M8.2 ‘Safari’ edition are silver chromed and thus create a visual harmony with the silver finish of the LEICA ELMARIT-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. lens. Thanks to its particularly compact design and construction, a weight of only 180 grams and its outstanding optical qualities, this extremely versatile lens is one of the most popular lenses of the Leica rangefinder system.

The special edition LEICA M8.2 ‘Safari’ is not the first Leica camera produced with this unusual colour scheme. The olive green finish was previously used for two other Leica camera models: in the 1960s, olive green-painted Leica M cameras were supplied to the military and used for unobtrusive surveillance and documentary photography. The second olive green camera model, the Leica R3 ‘Safari’, first introduced in 1977/1978, is today a much sought after and valuable collectors’ item.

The LEICA M8.2 ‘Safari’ edition will be available from February 2009. The Suggested Retail Price is HK$75,000.-

The LEICA PRADOVIT D-1200 presented by Leica

Camera AG, Solms is the first digital Leica projector

for high-end applications, a high performer in an el-

egant body of high-quality magnesium. With its extra

compact size and weight of less than 3.5 kilograms,

it is the world’s smallest and lightest projector in this

class. The LEICA PRADOVIT D-1200 features a clearly

designed menu and an additional remote control for

the main functions, making operation even easier.

The application potential of the LEICA PRADOVIT D-

1200 is wide and varied, ranging from high-quality

large-format projection of digital photos to showing

films in full HD quality, private video recordings and

television programs and playing PC games. Thanks to

the projector’s extremely quiet running, viewing is an

enjoyable experience for the whole family.

“Projectors have been an integral par t of Leica’s prod-

uct range ever since 1925. Not only ambitious ama-

teur photographers, but also speakers giving evening-

filling multimedia shows appreciate the precision and

optical quality of Leica projectors and their lenses. By

venturing into digital projection, Leica has added the

final link to its performance chain, providing provides

Leica photographers with outstanding products for

excellent photography and brilliant reproduction – all

from a single source and therefore ideally attuned to

each other,“ says Björn Dietzler, Product Manager for

Projection at Leica Camera AG.

Integrating D(igital)L(ight)P(rocessing) Display tech-

nology from Texas Instruments, the LEICA PRADOVIT

D-1200 has optimally matched color management for

photorealistic image reproduction in 16:10 format.

This reflecting chip technology enables an actual

resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Even at the photore-

alistic setting, the contrast ratio is more than 2500:1

with a brightness of about 1400 ANSI lumen.

The LEICA VARIO-ELMARIT-P f/2.8-3.1/33-42 mm/59

mm-74 mm (equiv.)/t.r. 1.6-2.0:1 high-speed lens of

the LEICA PRADOVIT D-1200 ensures superb bright-

ness and contrast. The optics can be used in a projec-

tion range from 1 to 15 meters, which is equivalent

to a screen width between about 0.5 and 6.8 meters.

The picture diagonals run from 0.6 to 11 meters. The

projected image can therefore be optimally adapted

to many different types of rooms.

The LEICA PRADOVIT D-1200 is equipped with the

latest lamp technology. The 220W FusionPlus VIDI

UHP lamp from Philips has a working life of approx.

3000 hours in standard mode and about 2000 hours

in high-power mode. The pleasantly quiet operating

noise is under 28 dB, ensuring a restful evening of

projection.

necting playback devices. Besides a component input

port, it provides HDMI1.3 and DVI digital interfaces

for linking a computer, laptop, DVD, Blu-ray or HD-

gested retail price is HK$93,200. (Product code:38000)
