Fujifilm are proud to announce the launch of the WCL-X100, a wide conversion lens designed specifically for the award-winning Fujifilm X100. The lens attaches directly on to the camera and increases picture taking versatility by multiplying the fixed focal length by 0.8x, converting it from 23mm (35mm in 35mm equivalent) fixed focal length to a 19mm wide angle (28mm in 35mm equivalent).

Superb optical quality maximises versatility

The WCL-X100 has been engineered to ensure the Fujifilm X100's supreme optical quality remains intact. Created by the same experts who designed the X100's lens, the WCL-X100 delivers comparable image quality even at the f/2 wide aperture setting, retaining all the original optical characteristics, including the attractive bokeh effect.

This optical excellence is underlined by the fact that the WCL-X100 is manufactured in Japan, allowing Fujifilm engineers to guarantee precision and quality in every component. The optical construction uses four premium glass elements in three groups to keep aberrations to a minimum and also employs Fujinon's unique Super EBC coating for outstanding results.

Image processing optimises picture quality

Achieving the very best results from the WCL-X100 is simple; just select the ‘Wide Conversion Lens' option in the Fujifilm X100's shooting menu. To enable this extra functionality, the camera must be updated to Firmware version 1.3.0 or later, which also allows the option to be selected via the Function (Fn) or RAW buttons. The Fujifilm X100 has the option to apply image processing to shots taken using the WCL-X100 to reduce image distortion, ensure balanced illumination across the frame and reduce chromatic aberration, commonly found in wide conversion lenses.

In practice, the WCL-X100 maintains the functionality of the Fujifilm X100. The autofocussing speed remains the same, the 10cm macro distance still applies and it is also compatible with the Fujifilm X100's hybrid viewfinder. With the optical viewfinder (OVF) selected, icons showing the edge of the frame are displayed instead of the frame rim (equivalent to 80% of the frame field of view), while selecting the electronic viewfinder (EVF) gives users a 100% field of view.

The perfect match for the Fujifilm X100

The design of the WCL-X100 has been carefully considered to ensure a seamless blend with the camera. It uses the same materials, textures and colours as the existing X100, plus the optional LH-X100 lens hood and PRF-49S protective filter can be used on the conversion lens. Furthermore, the clip-on lens cap for the WCL-X100 can be attached with both the lens hood and filter in place.

WCL-X100 key features

• 0.8x magnification factor to convert X100 lens to 28mm wide angle (35mm equivalent)
• All glass optical construction using four elements in three groups
• Fujinon Super EBC coating
• Made in Japan for optimum quality
• Available in black and silver

The new design of the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. is based on the optical design of the existing Summicron-M 50mm f/2, which has been available since 1979 (currently the oldest lens represented in the Leica M portfolio). The classic specifications - 50mm focal length and a maximumaperture of f/2 - offered an ideal starting point for further development.

This meant that the lens designers were able to concentrate exclusively on the improvement of image quality within these standard specifications.

In its optical design, the new Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. reflects some of the specific features of Leica's Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. and Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. lenses. For instance, the new lens incorporates a floating element. The lens group behind the diaphragm is designed as a floating element that changes its position relative to the front group during focusing, ensuring the lens achieves outstanding imaging quality throughout its focusing range, including at closer focusing distances.

The achievement of the apochromatic correction of the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. involved the use of specially formulated glass based on original developments from the former Leitz glass laboratory. The use of such glass requires great effort and many years of experience. Thanks to the consistent advancement of optical processes, working with this high-quality glass has been honed to such a fine art that it is integrated in the best possible quality in Leica lenses - as it is today, in the new Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH.

As a particularly reliable product with enduring value, the APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. is manufactured from the highest quality materials and is assembled in an intricate process, completely by hand, in Leica's production facility in Solms, Germany. The combination of cutting-edge technologies and meticulous manufacturing procedures guarantees the consistently excellent quality of every single Leica lens.

Pricing and availability
The Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. in black finish is scheduled to be available in the UK from the end of July 2012 from authorised Leica dealers including the Leica Store Mayfair:http://www.leica-storemayfair.co.uk, tel: 020 7629 1351. A full list of authorised UK Leica dealers is available at http://www.leica-camera.co.uk. The suggested UK retail price is £5,400 inc. VAT.

Leica warranty and added value services
The Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH. comes with a two-year warranty and a one-year Leica UK ‘Passport' (complimentary accidental damage cover). UK customers are also welcome to visit the Leica Store and Akademie in Mayfair, London, for a complimentary demonstration on the features of the product. Technical support by telephone is available via Leica's London-based Client Care department.

Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to announce that its EOS 5D Mark II and 7D Digital SLR cameras have been used on the set of Marvel's latest movie, "Marvel's The Avengers," to capture thrilling point-of-view (POV) action shots that can be seamlessly intercut with footage from the film's principal 35mm and digital cinematography cameras to heighten the film's visual impact. "Marvel's The Avengers" shows an epic confrontation between nightmarish super villains attacking the Earth and the super-heroic team of Iron Man, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow. Directed by Joss Whedon, the film is the latest and most extraordinary Marvel Studios Super Hero movie to date.

With intense action and visual effects captured by the Canon cameras, "Marvel's The Avengers" required close-quarter action work with unrepeatable stunts. "The 5D Mark II and the 7D digital SLR cameras produce excellent, cinema-worthy images. They are great for shooting additional angles that give film editors more options for creating powerfully immersive and kaleidoscopic views of action scenes," explained the film's cinematographer, Seamus McGarvey.

On the set of "Marvel's The Avengers," McGarvey and his crew used five Canon 5D Mark II cameras and two 7D models. Using multiple cameras limited the need to re-shoot complex action scenes, and the affordability and compact size of the cameras enabled the crew to obtain ample coverage by strategically angling them from various vantage points throughout the set. "The cameras' small size was a major advantage to us. We were able to place them in tight locations that were really close to the big stunts, which would be too risky to do with bigger cameras that would require an operator and two assistants," McGarvey said. He was able to slide one of the Canon cameras into a sewer grating, while placing another under a pile of debris for a key shot of a car hurtling toward the lens, flipping through the air on fire.

"We are thrilled that the EOS 5D Mark II and 7D Digital SLR cameras were called to action on the set of ‘Marvel's The Avengers.' We designed these cameras with versatility and flexibility in mind, and their ability to record beautiful 1920 x 1080 HD video, coupled with their compact size, make them an ideal fit for filmmakers looking to capture tight action shots," stated Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies and Communications Group, Canon U.S.A.

Compact, lightweight, and compatible with Canon's wide selection of EF Series lenses, the Canon 5D Mark II and EOS 7D digital SLR cameras are equipped with large Canon CMOS sensors and Canon DIGIC 4 image processors that enable them to record exceptional full 1920 x 1080 HD video at the user-selectable frame rate of 24p (23.976 fps), which is the standard for today's high-end filmmaking. Additionally, the cameras' low-light capabilities were of major importance on the set of "Marvel's the Avengers," as many of the film's scenes were shot at night.

Leica Camera AG has today presented the world's first digital camera designed exclusively for full-frame, 35mm black and white photography: the Leica M Monochrom.

The Leica M Monochrom is a pure black and white rangefinder camera, using a newly-designed 18 million pixel CCD specifically created for the capture of light in its purest form. With this new sensor, there is no Bayer Pattern filter (colour filter array), which means it never separates the light into colours, and subsequently there is no need for complicated colour algorithms.

The 18 megapixel image sensor of the Leica M Monochrom is also perfectly matched to the superior performance of Leica M-Lenses. As the sensor does not ‘see' colours, every pixel records true luminance values - as a result, it delivers ‘true' black-and-white images that are significantly sharper than comparable exposures from a camera with a colour-sensitive sensor, and images that require very little or no further image processing.

The Leica M Monochrom continues the successful story of the Leica rangefinder system, which has written numerous chapters in the history of innovative photography.

Features at a glance:

  * Newly-developed monochrome CCD sensor with a native resolution of 18 million pixels
  * 100% sharper images thanks to the direct processing of RAW data with no interpolation
  * Extremely low, fine-grain image noise up to ISO 10000
  * Raw data histogram and configurable clipping display
  * Classic, iconic Leica M series design with black chrome finish and leather carrying strap
  * Includes Nik Silver Efex Pro^TM 2 and Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®
  * Exclusive access to the Leica Monochrom Print Service in cooperation with Whitewall
  * Includes an original fibre baryte print of a Magnum photo from the Leica M Monochrom campaign
    by J. A. Sobol

Jesko von Oeynhausen, product manager, M-System, Leica Camera AG, commented, "Black and white photography has become more popular than ever before, with photographers continuing to be fascinated by it as an expressive medium. This is confirmed by the numerous monochrome images presented to us by members of the Leica M community, with whom we are in constant contact. With the Leica M Monochrom, we are offering photographers the opportunity to explore black and white photography with a product that is unique in the digital world, producing consistent and authentic results. The camera's exclusively black and white sensor brings an enormous technical benefit that is reflected in the outstanding image quality it delivers."

The classic, iconic design of Leica M-cameras is also continued with the Leica M Monochrom. With its matt black chrome top plate, the camera is unobtrusive, with just the engraved name of the product on the accessory shoe revealing its identity. The camera features a particularly soft leather trim, ensuring a positive grip, and perfectly complements the camera's discreet character. The camera package also includes a black leather carrying strap in premium full-grain cowhide.

To allow precise control of tonal values, the Leica M Monochrom offers a RAW data histogram display. This is different from conventional histograms in that it displays original, unprocessed and unmodified RAW data. The combination of this with a configurable clipping display allows precise correction or optimisation of exposures.

At the touch of a button, images captured by the M Monochrom can be converted using characteristic toning effects from black and white film photography (sepia, cold or selenium toning). The user simply saves the image in JPEG format and selects the desired tonal effect, and with no need for post-processing.

From photojournalism and available light photography to discreet, artistically aesthetic, creative compositions - the Leica M Monochrom adapts flexibly to every situation and enables the expression of personal photographic style and consciously creative composition. The enormous potential performance of the current M-Lens portfolio, with focal lengths from 16 to 135 mm, is also fully accessible. In line with Leica's renowned commitment to extreme system compatibility, almost all the lenses in the Leica M range built since 1954 can be used with the M Monochrom.

Furthermore, all the characteristic properties of the Leica rangefinder system are also present in the Leica M Monochrom. For example, it includes the system's intuitive and discreet handling. Its manual focusing, based on the combined viewfinder and rangefinder concept, and aperture priority exposure mode, is an aid to the photographer's creative freedom. In combination with the LCD display, the simple menu navigation needs only a few controls to enable rapid access to the entire range of camera functions.

Together with its compact construction, the camera's almost silent shutter ensures discreet and unobtrusive photography. Photographers can even select the appropriate moment for re-cocking the shutter. If longer exposure times requiring a steady camera stance are required, slight pressure on theshutter release button in ‘soft release' mode is sufficient.

All components of the Leica M Monochrom are constructed with extreme durability and a long working life in mind. The one-piece, full-metal housing, made from a high-strength magnesium alloy, and the top and bottom plates machined from solid brass, provide perfect protection for the camera's precious inner mechanisms. The digital components and shutter assembly of the M Monochrom are similarly constructed with a view to a lifetime of endurance. For photographers, this amounts to absolute reliability over many years of use. The experienced hands of Leica technicians at the factory in Solms are responsible for the assembly and calibration of M Monochrom bodies and the precise testing of all mechanical and electrical components. Leica Customer Care has decades of experience, and even today, maintains and repairs M-Cameras built from 1954 onwards.

The Leica M-System has played a significant role in the improvement of the company's financial position in recent years. Since the launch of the Leica M9 in September 2009, Leica's annual results have been correspondingly positive, and the company is now reporting record revenues.

Included software and Whitewall Printing Service
The Leica M Monochrom is supplied with Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®, a professional digital workflow solution. The software is available to M Monochrom customers as an online download after product registration. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom offers a wide range of functions for the management, processing and presentation of digital images, for example the creation of simple print layouts, slide shows and photo books. A full-version of Silver Efex Pro^TM 2, the world's leading black-and-white image processing software, is also included in the package. Silver Efex Pro 2 offers an impressive collection of unique and powerful, darkroom-inspired tools for the creation of high quality monochrome images. Silver Efex Pro 2 emulates more than 20 different types of black and white film to recreate the glory of classic black and white film photography. The emulation of each film type is based on the analysis of many rolls of the respective type and guarantees perfect reproduction of the characteristic look of many popular films from ISO 32 to ISO 3200.

For the production of high-quality black and white prints, Leica Camera AG is also offering a unique service in collaboration with Whitewall. Following registration of their Leica M Monochrom camera on the Leica web site, customers can have their digital images from the M Monochrom printed on premium-quality baryte paper and can order copies from Whitewall by means of a personal link.

These are just a few of the glorious and engaging images that can be seen at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) in London when the winning entries from the 2011 Travel Photographer of the Year awards (TPOTY) make their public debut in a magnificent, free-to-view, exhibition running from June 22nd to August 19th 2012.

The exhibition offers a chance to step away from the hustle and bustle as London prepares for - and then plays host to - the Olympic Games. Visitors can take a visual journey around the globe, through the eyes of the hugely talented amateur and professional photographers who beat entrants from over 90 countries to take the top places in the awards. Just a few minutes walk along Exhibition Road from the Natural History, Victoria & Albert and Science Museums, it's the latest ‘must-do' London attraction!

The exhibition will also showcase a number of archive images from the Society's own collection, giving visitors a chance to view pictures dating back to the pioneer days of photography - such as a wonderful historic shot of Papua New Guinean tribesmen quizzically examining an old gramophone. These images have all been specially selected to tie-in with the contemporary photographs on display.

And the exhibition features a showcase of work by the 2011 awards' overall winner, the American photographer Louis Montrose, together with photographs taken in India by Stuart Dunn, when, as part of his prize from last year's TPOTY awards, he was sent by Cutty Sark blended Scotch whisky to document the work of the Elephant Family charity. Finally, there will also be images shot earlier this year by the 2007 winner Cat Vinton, when Travel Photographer of the Year took her to photograph His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Dr. Rita Gardner CBE, Director of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) said: "Photography has a unique power to instantly inspire and inform us in equal measure about the landscapes, people and places of our world. As an avid photographer, I welcome this opportunity for the Society's historic collection to be linked with some of the very best contemporary images, reflecting our long-term commitment to the photographic image as both a means of visual record and also as a source of pleasure and inspiration."

Last year's Travel Photographer of the Year exhibition broke all attendance records for the Society's exhibitions, bringing in thousands of Londoners and British and international tourists, all keen to see world-class travel photography in an impressive setting. This year's exhibition should provide the perfect inspiration for those considering entering the 2012 TPOTY awards, which are now open for entry.

Visitors will also be the first to have the opportunity to buy the beautiful new Travel Photographer of the Year portfolio book, Journey Four. This will contain not just the TPOTY-winning images on show at this year's exhibition, but also the 2010-winning images. The latest in a highly collectable series, it goes on sale for the first time ever at the exhibition on June 22nd, price £25.

The Travel Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) runs from Friday, June 22nd to Wednesday August 19th. It will be open daily (including bank holidays) from 9.30am - 5pm Monday to Saturday and 10am - 4pm on Sundays.
