How did this make it into "Hacker News" ?
Alt. title: "Hipster News". But seriously, good question. I like stuff like this, but I have no idea how it fits the content of this site.

> The T costs $1850 and the Sunmmicron-T 2/23 ASPH $1950. Yes, the Leica isn’t exactly a bargain. I'm surprised it's that cheap. The M8 did cost somewhere around $4500 (without a lens) when it was introduced.
It's this cheap because it's a Point and Shoot and not a Rangefinder.
This has interchangeable lenses and therefore is within the "mirrorless" category.
For the less money, I'd go buy a cannon fixed lens point and shoot - or for about the same money I'd go get two real cameras, and EOS-1 Film, and a EOS-5D with a 50mm f/1.8 to share among them. Leica makes a very pretty camera - but not one I'd purchase for the task of making pictures.
I apologize for my ignorance, but does anyone know the brand and model of that unusual watch about a third of the way down the page?
Oh, Good news!. I love photography but I hate so much having to carry enormous cameras just because analog were so voluminous and they put a digital sensor on an old analog case. I bought different Sony NEX cameras for this reason and I use those a lot. Good news to see other camera makers(canon,leica) listening.
Unlike the M series, which remains unique in many ways, this seems unimpressive compared to some other interchangeable-lens cameras. A 16MP APS-C sensor was available in the NEX-5 several years ago, and the tiny magnesium body of the NEX-5 is sexy as hell. I would look at the Sony and Samsung compact interchangeable lens cameras if you want the best sensors, lens choice, and UI. The Sony a6000 is an awesome camera by…
Sony has really come out strong. I still shoot film but if I made my way back to digital I would go with a A7.
