Bizarre iLeica - Leica iPhone camera

Leica i9 concept pairs iPhone, rangefinder body.
According to a report on photoradar.com someone has come up with the bright (!) idea of combining an iPhone with a Leica rangefinder.

Thought it was a very late April 1 joke (yet it was published on April 26).

Forget it, get a proper camera (An M9 would be good) and a separate phone.

The British Journal of Photography reports on accusations that the Daily Mail newspaper used a Flickr image without the photographer's permission.

The Mail article - Meet Kate Middleton's cousin, the Queen of Burlesque (who likes to strip to Rule Britannia) - is said to feature one of Leachman's photographs of Katrina Darling, one of Middleton's "second cousins, once removed."
