It 'difficult to improve on perfection and to do so in Solms had to call an external: Walter De' Silva.
Italian car designer, became famous thanks to the work in Alfa Romeo (145, 146, 155 and 156) and now in the past where Volkswagen has held the position as head of Centro Stile, so it is responsible for the design of the following brands: Volkswagen, Audi , Seat, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini.
The difficult task that was given was to review a classic timeless design of the Leica M, which from 1954 to today is pretty much remained the same.
With Titanium M9 something has changed, though, you should look at in depth, at least for the less attentive eyes.
disappears for the light of the window frames, has been replaced by a system led red.
The red Leica logo becomes larger and is now exactly in the center of the objective.
The shutter button is no longer the thread for the remote shutter release.
Obviously the color is Titanium, perhaps slightly louder than other versions Leica M Titanium, and the upholstery is leather, the same used in some Audi models. The M9
Titanium is a series of five pieces of him, will not change the design of the M9 standard (black and gray), but there probably show ideas for the future "M10".
Like:
- Frames LED red
- Failure to take USB external
I do not like:
- No indication of basic telemetry (also missing M8/8.2 and M9)
- prices in excess of € 20,000 (!!!)
the price I only revealed at the end, the M9 Titanium binds to a collector's item and not use.
It 's a shame that a company like Leica, mother of modern photography, is forced to these moves in the market for mere monetary gain.
must admit that there was a bold restyling for an object that is so more than half a century but this has not been added to increase prestazioni tale da giustificare il prezzo.
La M9 Titanium è stata concepita come un oggetto da collezione (o investimento), difficilmente la si vedrà in giro... purtroppo!
