I will most likely never own such a masterpiece, but I’m grateful limited special edition cameras like this exist—no matter their cost. It reminds me someone is still dedicated to the craft of photography and the gear we love, and it reminds the rest of us to never stop dreaming of owning such things.

Leica just dropped an interesting new accessory to pair with their Leica Lux app—a MagSafe Bluetooth grip for iPhones, with half-press to focus and function shortcut buttons.
As functional as it looks, I have to wonder: how many people will shell out $329 for it, even with the included one-year Lux app subscription?
If it was a universal grip that I could use with my iPhone and my Android, maybe I would consider it more, but then again, I care a regular camera with me everywhere I go, so it’s probably not for me.
I still love that Leica and others are releasing modern accessories like these.
