Magnum will test Leica
We already knew that Leica was quite discreet on the digital photography market, but according to Amateur Photographer, the photographers of the prestigieuse Magnum photo agency will soon be recruited to test some of the upcoming photo cameras from Leica.

The reality that they are usually content to imagine as naked here is shown in pictures of the compact rangefinder without any clothes, or more precisely without some of the external decorative parts.
