フォトキナでのほっとニュースだから、ちょっとだけ
流してみましょう。昨日だか今日発表みたいだから。

ミノルタは 1/12000 だから、1/8000ってのは、なにを
ベースにしたのでしょうね。。。

LEICA R8: the pinnacle of the LEICA-R
philosophy.
This remarkable SLR camera is a completely new
development from Leica and a timely
interpretation of classical values, meeting to
perfection the demands of the discerning
photographer for a better picture. In
combination with more than 30 high-performance
lenses with focal lengths from 15 mm to 800 mm
and its comprehensive range of accessories, the
R8 is the ideal camera for everyone who expects
the highest level of creativity and image
quality. 
Timeless design
The LEICA R8 sets new design standards
thanks to the perfect clarity of its
lines combined with a hitherto
unsurpassed functionality. Easy-grip,
optimally positioned controls for
simple, safe handling. 
Rapid shutter 
The rapid shutter (1/8000 - 32 s) opens
up every possibility for creative
photography - under natural light
conditions, as well artificial
lighting. Flash synchronisation 1/250s. 
Three metering methods 
In addition to the customary selective
and integral metering methods,
multi-pattern metering is also
available. It automatically improves
exposure reliability and opens up
possibilities for exploring unusual
motifs. All three metering methods can
be combined freely with the four
operating modes: automatic shutter or
aperture priority, variable automatic
program mode and manual settings.
Perfect adaptability to every motif and
situation. 
Brilliant viewfinder 
The new High-Eyepoint viewfinder
adjustment with integral diopter
provides all the information and offers
a total overview at a glance. With a
brilliant image and complete
information. 
Variable flash options 
Expanded, effective, easy-to-use flash
system ranging from individual
pre-exposure analysis to fully
automatic flash output control whether
as main light source or fill-in flash
(SCA 3000 system). 
Unsurpassed mechanical precision
and ruggedness 
Thanks to its sturdy, tough metal
design and the greatest care taken in
the choice of material and manufacture
right up to a final, one hundred
percent check.
... Made in Germany
