Photo Plus Expo + Leica D-Lux3

The 2007 Photo Plus Expo was this week in New York City.

It’s always an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and business associates and see if there is anything new and interesting in the way of photo gear.

Speaking of which, one of my latest pieces of gear is the Leica D-Lux 3 digital camera, which I bought (in addition to Leica’s reputation for fine craftsmanship and innovative engineering and design) on the merits of its ability to shoot 16:9 format.

Why is 16:9 aspect ratio important to me, you might ask?

I produce a significant number of panoramic photographs in the course of my work as a location scout, many of which, in the past, have required a considerable amount of time and work in post to assemble using multiple frames of traditionally formatted photographs. For many purposes, the single frame 16:9 photographs from the new Leica will serve to provide sufficient area coverage as to eliminate assembly after-the-fact. Yippee!
