Leica today unveiled a special-edition instant camera designed by renowned photographer, art collector and entrepreneur Jean Pigozzi. The new Leica Sofort LimoLand by Jean Pigozzi features the colourful smiling face known as the logo of Pigozzi’s fashion label, LimoLand. Consistent with the standard Sofort, the Leica Sofort “LimoLand by Jean Pigozzi” houses technical features such as preset modes for Automatic, Party & People, Sports & Action, Macro and Self-Portrait, as well as the creative possibilities of multiple exposures, time exposures and self-timer modes. The camera automatically adapts exposure time to the mode the user selects. The SOFORT even offers options for manual control: focusing distance can be changed independently of the preset exposure modes, the flash can be turned off entirely and image brightness can be adjusted higher or lower. The special edition camera will be available for purchase at the end of October and comes complete with a red shoulder strap crafted from high-quality nylon and embellished with the Mr. Limo logo, made by Artisan&Artist. The set also includes a film pack of 20 exposures. In addition to the camera, Pigozzi will showcase renowned images from his celebrity-filled photo book, Pool Party, on November 9th at the Leica Gallery Los Angeles in an exhibition titled Johnny’s Pool. Centered on the famous “blue pool” at the Pigozzi family’s Villa Dorane at Cap d’Antibes, Johnny’s Pool features photographs of the array of actors, models, musicians that have visited the pool since it was built in 1953.

The Yashica digiFilm Y35 is a new digital camera offering a similar shooting experience as an old film camera. Featuring a 1/3.2"-type 14-megapixel sensor, a 35mm (eq.) f/2.8 lens, a built-in viewfinder and five shutter speeds, the Yashica Y35 takes different digiFilms such as "ISO400/27° Black & White" or "ISO1600/33 High-Speed Colour," and saves the resulting photos on an SD card. In other words, instead of choosing a picture style and ISO speed from a menu, as you'd do with a regular digital camera, you need to physically insert a cartridge as with a film camera. Actually, the Yashica digiFilm Y35 does not even have an LCD screen - to change cartridges (and batteries), you need to open the rear cover, similarly to the way you would change film in an analogue camera. The only controls on the Y35 are the shutter release, a shutter speed selector and a winder (which doesn't actually advance the "film," of course, but enhances the illusion of shooting a film camera). Backers pledging HK$1,108 (US$142) or more on Kickstarter will get a Yashica digiFilm Y35 camera plus two digiFilms, whereas those pledging HK$1,248 (US$160) will get the camera and four different digiFilms. Shipments are expected to commence in April 2018.

Thankfully, our crazy instincts were rewarded — seven years later, we went back to discover that this fantastic film still produces refined colors with a beautifully unique tone. It’s a one-of-a-kind colour negative with an X-Pro feel and Tungsten overtones, and we’re so excited to share it with you!
