May 12
Do you have an SDHC card, a photo ID, and a credit card? Would you love to get your hands on one of today’s most well regarded cameras? If you answered “yes” to everything, then you need to come to Brooklyn, NY. This Thursday, May 13 through Sunday, May 16th at the New York Photo Festival, Leica is sponsoring the Leica Photo Scavenger Hunt: “Photo enthusiasts may borrow the coveted Leica M9 digital rangefinder camera absolutely free for a period of up to four hours.”
The company will announce a theme each day; whoever captures the best picture within the 4 hours to fit the theme will win “a special Leica prize.” No word on how many cameras will be available, but this seems like an outstanding opportunity.
For those unfamiliar with the Leica M9, in short–it’s sweet. It features an extremely large image sensor in a compact body, though it offers no auto-focus. It’s very expensive (listing for $7,750) and has stood the test of time: The first model of the M line, the (non-digital) M3, was introduced in 1954.
You can claim your loaner Leica at the following address:

Festival hours are 12 to 7 P.M Thursday to Saturday, and 12 to 5 Sunday. For more info, visit www.leica-camera.com and www.nyphotofestival.com.
