Photography in its purest form: the new LEICA T camera system<\/h2>\n
Fine engineering and sleek design unite for pure, creative photography<\/em><\/p>\nSINGAPORE<\/strong> \u2013 Leica Camera AG presents a new camera system that unites the fine art of engineering and hand-crafted excellence with design and handling in an entirely new and innovative concept. From the initial idea through to the development process and in its final assembly, the focus of all disciplines involved was on one single thing \u2013 perfection. The outcome was the creation of the Leica T-System, a camera with an exquisite finish \u2018made in Germany\u2019 that, together with a portfolio of precise, high-performance lenses, offers exceptional versatility and particularly intuitive handling. Unique in design and pared down to the essential functions, the new Leica T-System offers everything anyone could ever need for pure, creative photography and the best image quality.<\/p>\nSleek AUDI Design<\/b><\/p>\n
In collaboration with AUDI Design, the typical design language of Leica cameras was revisited and reinterpreted. With its timeless and sleek design, the Leica T picks up the unmistakeable attributes of Leica product design and develops them systematically \u2013 with clean lines, smooth surfaces and formal minimalism.<\/p>\n
Unmatched Quality, Unrivalled Craftsmanship<\/b><\/p>\n
One of the camera\u2019s outstanding features is its compact and solid body. This is manufactured with innovative precision techniques from a single block of aluminium at the Leica factory. The use of premium materials and their processing in an elaborate manufacturing process are unique in the history of camera construction and lend the Leica T an unmistakeable look, feel and solidity. Its substantial weight and a newly developed operating concept underline its user-friendly handling and, together, these features ensure an incomparable photographic experience.<\/p>\n
Versatile lenses<\/b><\/p>\n
Two lenses will initially be available for the market launch of the Leica T-System:<\/p>\n
\n- The Leica Vario-Elmar-T 18\u201356 mm f\/3.5\u20135.6 ASPH. is ideal for creative experimentation with various perspectives and focal lengths. For expansive landscapes, documentary pictures or portraits \u2013 whatever the genre, this standard zoom lens offers exceptional flexibility in every situation.<\/li>\n
- The fast and compact Leica Summicron-T 23mm f\/2 ASPH., with a focal length equivalent to 35 mm in full-frame format, offers a truly classic Leica focal length that is ideal for reportage photography.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Super-Vario-Elmar-T 11\u201323 mm f\/3.5\u20134.5 ASPH. wide-angle zoom and the Vario-Elmar-T 55\u2013135 mm f\/3.5\u20134.5 ASPH. telephoto zoom <\/b>are scheduled to appear in time for presentation at photokina 2014. Developed by Leica optical designers as precision tools, all Leica T lenses offer the exceptional imaging performance for which Leica lenses are famed.<\/p>\n
Cutting Edge Technology<\/b><\/p>\n
The combination of a newly designed high-performance processor and sensor ensures outstanding picture quality in every situation. The Leica T features a large, APS-C-format, CMOS image sensor with over 16.5 megapixels (effective 16.2 MP) that, due to its size, performance and imaging characteristics, represents the ideal solution in the compact class of the Leica T. It ensures brilliant pictures with outstanding contrast, finest detail resolution and natural colour rendition \u2013 even in unfavourable lighting conditions.<\/p>\n
Simple and Intuitive<\/b><\/p>\n
Complementing the purist design of the camera, the operating concept of the Leica T is equally clear, simple and concentrated on relevant functions. At the heart of the concept is the clear design of the touchscreen display. It is generously dimensioned and generates a bright and clear image that allows precise and reliable assessment during image composition and in playback mode. Numerous functions in capture and playback mode can be controlled simply by touching the screen. The only other controls are four ergonomically positioned haptic control elements that are intuitive in their operation. This ensures that camera users can concentrate fully on composing their pictures \u2013 without any unnecessary distractions.<\/p>\n
The MyCamera menu of the Leica T offers even greater flexibility, even for spontaneous snapshot situations, and can be configured and programmed with settings to meet the user\u2019s own personal requirements. This means that the photographer always has fast access to the most frequently used features and presets.<\/p>\n
Wi-Fi connectivity<\/b><\/p>\n
The Leica T is the first system camera from Leica to feature an integrated Wi-Fi module. Pictures and videos can be wirelessly transmitted straight from the camera to a smartphone, tablet or computer, and can then be shared by email, or on Facebook or other social media. A free Leica T app for iOS devices is available now.<\/p>\n
A particularly practical feature of the app is the remote function. This lets users wirelessly connect their smartphone or tablet to the camera and use it as an electronic viewfinder for the Leica T and, amongst other functions, allows remote setting of the shutter speed and aperture values \u2013 for example for shots with the self-timer function or from unusual angles.<\/p>\n
Comprehensive Accessory Range<\/b><\/p>\n
The Leica T-System also offers a multitude of accessories:<\/p>\n
\n- The high-resolution electronic viewfinder with a selectable, integrated GPS feature,<\/b> developed especially for the Leica T-System, is perfectly harmonised with the camera. Its tilt and swivel function makes it particularly practical for creative photography and enables shooting from different viewpoints and unusual angles.<\/li>\n
- The new Leica SF 26 flash unit, which provides additional opportunities for flash exposures or fill-in flash for brightening subjects. The angle of the flash reflector is adjustable. Whenever needed, the unit can even be used as an LED light source for video recording.<\/li>\n
- The Leica M-Adapter T, which allows users to mount and use Leica M-Lenses on a Leica T body. The adapter features a sensor for 6-bit coded M-Lenses. This fully supports Leica T functions such as exposure metering, aperture priority mode and manual setting capability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Designed to Capture User\u2019s Personality<\/b><\/p>\n
Further camera accessories in four trendy colours \u2013 melon yellow, orange-red, black and white \u2013 and an extensive range of premium bags and cases, all of them courtesy of AUDI Design, systematically continue the Leica system concept. Individual accessories build on and complement one another, and some offer unique options for personalised combination.<\/p>\n
With its materials mix of hard plastic and elastic silicone, the Leica T-Snap for the front of the camera provides optimum protection against scratches and inadvertent knocks. Its unique design lends the camera an eye-catching and personalised look. The soft silicone T-Flap is the ideal complement to the T-Snap. It clicks easily into the T-Snap to protect the back of the camera with the display screen and controls when the Leica T is not in use. The design and colours of the carrying strap and wrist strap are perfectly matched to the modern T-Snap and T-Flap accessories.<\/p>\n
Both the T-Snap and T-Flap can be attached to the Leica T by Easy-Click, a system for connecting accessories to cameras that is unique throughout the world. True to the clean and uncluttered design concept of the camera, protruding strap lugs have been omitted. Carrying straps and the wrist strap now fuse with the camera to create a single entity and can be detached in a flash. The range of accessories for the Leica T also offers a leather holster, a leather protector and a system bag.<\/p>\n
The Leica T is available at the Leica Stores located at Raffles Hotel Arcade, Mandarin Gallery and ION Orchard as well as authorised Leica dealers starting from 26th<\/sup> of May 2014. The range of accessories will be available following the launch of the camera.<\/p>\nAdobe\u00ae Photoshop\u00ae Lightroom\u00ae, a professional digital workflow solution for Apple Mac\u00ae OS X and Microsoft Windows\u00ae, is also included in the Leica T package. This digital image processing software offers a comprehensive range of functions for the management, processing and presentation of still pictures and video recordings. Leica customers can download the software free from the Leica website after registering their camera.<\/p>\n
A One-Day-Only Opportunity to Experience The New Leica T<\/b><\/p>\n
For one day only, Wednesday 30th<\/sup> April 2014,<\/b> lovers of pure photography and budding enthusiasts alike will have the opportunity to experience the world of the new Leica T at a special open house at the National Design Centre. This will be an opportunity for members of the public in Singapore to be some of the first in Southeast Asia to touch, feel and use the newest addition to the Leica family.<\/p>\nIn addition to trying out the Leica T for themselves at the Photo Studio, visitors to the Open House will enjoy a multi-sensory experience of the Leica T, as well as an exhibition of incredible images photographed by the new Leica camera system.<\/p>\n
