Ihagee ELBAFLEX

Although the days of film are long gone , the cameras that of a bygone era have certainly left their mark on photographic history . Ihagee cameras , a German film camera maker has now been ressurected thanks to crowdfunding on Kickstarter and is set to make their first 35mm film camera (under the Ihagee name) since the brand disappeared during the 1970's .


 The camera , named the Ihagee ELBAFLEX (Ihagee used the Exakta name unto 1970 and it is still trademarked , but ELBAFLEX is said to be used in Ihagee cameras from the  1970's and the startup selected this name instead) . 


The camera , like most 35mm film camera revivals on kickstarter (Reflex 1 for example) is based on the Nikon F mount , With manual everything and wooden inserts , the camera is certainly going to be a great option for film shooters who want something "new" (but still old fashioned) . The ISO , shutter dials are all metallic and it features a flash sync port with 1/60 sync speed . The camera does not require any battery power as the shutter is all mechanical and It goes all the way unto 1/500 . 




Pricing (pledging) for the camera starts at $299 if you want a basic ELBAFLEX basic model . The ELBAFLEX prime model on the other hand requires a $529 pledge . The difference between the models include the addition of a wooden grip , leather coverings and a full 5 year warranty plus quality assurance in Germany . The base model on the other hand does not come with the wooden grip (optional) and has no leather options for its cover , it also lacks the 5 year warranty and instead comes with a 2 year one and a Ukrainian factory quality pass . Both camera models are hand made in the Ukraine with the German team of the project providing oversight and designs .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored.
