Design News: LG’s gaming speaker; test a Leica camera

Leica, the German manufacturer of high-end cameras, is conducting “test drives” of its range of cameras available in Singapore.

The free sessions are by appointment only and will be conducted at one of three Leica stores here. They are customised to the needs of users in a one-on-one setting with professional Leica specialists. Participants can pick a camera of their choice or ask for recommendations.

Established in 1914, Leica created one of the earliest cameras that allowed bokeh photography, which captures out-of-focus areas of an image rendered through the use of specialised lens. Celebrity photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Annie Leibovitz are known to have shot some of their best work using Leica cameras.

Leica is also conducting workshops and selling collectible books. Prices for Leica cameras range from $1,970 to about $30,000.

Info: Leica Galerie is at 01-20 Raffles Hotel, 328 North Bridge Road; and Leica stores are at B1-82A The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, 2 Bayfront Avenue; and 03-20 Ion Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn. To sign up for a Leica “test drive”, go to this website.
