Nerd Romance: Leica Lens Ring Ring
Posted in: Apparel, Today's Chili
The Leica aperture ring ring. Possibly the most romantic thing ever
If the Leica Guy (Matthew B. Harrison) had any doubt as to the marrying potential of his wife-to-be, it surely evaporated when he saw the wedding gift she got for him: a custom made Leica ring, modeled on a lens aperture ring.
The detail is astonishing, from the Leica typeface through to lens model (50mm Noctilux-M ƒ0.95) to the depth-of-field markings on the ring’s “barrel.”
The ring was commissioned and made by jeweler Gaelen in British Columbia, Canada, who makes custom engagement rings for people of taste. And what did the Leica Guy buy for his lovely bride? Like, some watch or whatever.
I’m totally jealous of this ring, although I’m even more jealous of the cameras the couple packed when they flew off to Italy for their honeymoon. What did they take? A pair of M9-Ps, of course.
