What’s New with Tamarkin Camera

The Leica landscape is ever-changing. Here you can find the latest developments and announcements from both Leica and Tamarkin Camera.

Tariff Price Adjustment on May 1st

Leica Camera will adjust prices for new items on May 1st in response to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs, which significantly impacts the cost of imported goods. These are not permanent Leica pricing changes, and it is our hope they are short-lived. Currently, used prices remain unaffected. Please call or email to learn more - we are happy to help.

Leica M4 KE-7A set

Leica KE-7A Nr. 1294550 with 50mm Elcan f2 lens Nr. 276-0084. Complete with lens shade and ever-ready case. Made in Canada in 1972 for the United States Army and specially engraved, the KE-7A was made to withstand temperatures down to -20 degrees Farenheit and is sealed. The 50mm Elcan “Type 276” lens - produced for the KE-7A - was made with infrared-absorbing glass made with lanthanum, a radioactive element that helps achieve a high refractive index. Moreover, these camera sets were made with special gaskets to help withstand the concussion of a nearby explosion. The original factory “C” seal is intact and the camera is working. One of the most sought-after Leica M4 sets, and a fascinating piece of Leica - and military - engineering and history, despite a bit of missing vulcanite and light wear from use. Excellent ++ overall

50 Summilux-M f1,4 Silver Chrome

Originally introduced in 1959, this standard lens is making a grand return, enjoying a renaissance as it joins the Leica "Classic Line."

New optical design of a classic Leica lens: Replicating the distinguished bokeh from the original lens released 1959, while also supporting Leica’s high-resolution sensors, thanks to new manufacturing techniques, modern glass elements and lens coatings.
Homage to Leica’s lens heritage: The barrel and optical design are based on the first versions of the 50mm Summilux lens; the optical design is based on the second version of the 50 Summilux lens, made between 1961 – 1992.
Designed to the highest standard: Composed of more than 100 different parts, this brass lens is handmade in Germany, with a chrome-plated surface finish. This lens is not a limited edition and is part of Leica’s current lens portfolio.
Unique image rendering: Creating images with a wide-open aperture allows the lens to produce incredibly soft bokeh, while also being very sharp and showcasing low optical distortions when stopped down.

The technology makes it possible for the first time to check the origin and history of a photograph – and thus prove authenticity: “The Content Authenticity Initiative is a collaborative endeavor focused on creating a standard framework for validating the legitimacy and origin of digital content, especially within media and creative content domains.”

Your image, its provenance information and digital signature are sealed cryptographically into a tamper-proof manifest with the image.
All of this means that we can now prove our images are NOT AI-generated.
