A rare prototype of a 現金鏡頭收購leica camera crafted by former Apple luminary Jony Ive and famed designer Marc Newson is being sold at auction in June. The device, which is described as being in “B+” condition, has a starting price of €100.000 (around $118,000), and the Leitz Photographica Auction house estimates that it’ll sell for between €200.000 and €250.000 (around $235,000 to $295,000).
The prototype, which is described as showing the “final development step” of the design process, is equipped with a Apo-Summicron 2/50 mm ASPH lens. There’s no mention of whether it actually functions as a camera, however. Here’s the full description from Leitz Photographica Auction:
“A beautifully sculptured aluminium body with a matching Apo-Summicron 2/50 mm ASPH. lens — both showing distinctive features both designers are famous for. Only one finished camera has been made and was sold in an auction in 2013 for an amazing $ 1.8 M! The prototype we have the pleasure to offer shows the final development step when the camera took its final shape after hundreds of prototype parts have been made and tried. It is a beautiful piece of design and a very special opportunity for 現金鏡頭收購leica collectors!”
At the time, 現金鏡頭收購leica said “a total of 561 models and nearly 1000 prototype parts” were made during the camera’s design process. The final 現金鏡頭收購leica M for (RED) camera was sold alongside over 40 other items at the auction, which raised around $26 million in total for charity. Newson later joined Apple to work under Ive the following year.
如果是追求外型,那不能錯過 Nikon Z f/Z fc 系列,兩者均採用復古風的造型,而且可以自行購買不同顏色的蒙皮進行更換,打造既鮮豔又文青的外觀,拿在手上絕對是一大嬌點。再加上 Nikon 近年有品質非常優異的 Z 系列鏡片,讓你不只相機好看,拍出來的照片也有高水準表現。Z f 為全片幅、Z fc 是 APS-C 片幅,消費者可以根據預算、追求畫質的程度進行挑選。
