“The new LEICA M8.2 is an exciting upgrade of Leica Camera AG’s German-made M series digital rangefinder camera for professionals. Improving on important LEICA M8 attributes such as discretion, intuitive work and robustness , the new model retains the key characteristics of the Leica reportage camera such as the compact shape, the exceptional image quality in connection with Leica M lenses and the unique picture composition with the Leica rangefinder that show it to be a genuine M camera. The LEICA M8.2 complements the M8, and many elements of the M8.2 can be integrated into the M8 if desired. With this parallel marketing, Leica Camera AG is underlining yet again the full system compatibility and high value retention of its M series.” (via Image Insider).

We always loved the Leica M8 and now it has gotten even better. If you have some spare cash, than you should definitely consider it.

Recently we presented to you the latest collaboration by G-Shock with artist Eric Haze. Today another special project by the Japanese watch brand – a DW5600 in collaboration with Spike Lee.
They kept it subtle and clean in terms of design and only added some small details to the all-time classic. Certainly a piece that you do not want to miss in your collection.
The Spike Lee G-Shock will be coming out in September. We will keep you posted on the release.
After the jump more images of the watch.

Casio will release the DW5600EH-7 Eric Haze signature G-SHOCK watch, named after the well-known graphic artist. Designed to commemorate the G-Shock 25th Anniversary, the DW5600EH-7 celebrates the rich history of G-Shock technology and Eric Haze artistry.
As an accomplished graphic artist, Eric Haze has worked across diverse mediums. Since 1999, the collaboration between Haze and G-Shock has produced two previous signature watches (DW6900M-8T and G304EH-7) This is the third Eric Haze edition to be released. The unique G-Shock 25th Anniversary logo that appears on the back of each 25th Anniversary watch was designed by Eric Haze, truly a testament of the close association between G-Shock and Haze. 
Reminiscent of the first G-Shock (DW5000-C), the new DW5600EH-7 Eric Hazesignature model has inherited the square shaped bezel. The Eric Haze signature  appears on the band and with the EL backlight. The watch motif is  black-and-white monotone, with red accents for the Eric Haze signatures and the watch face. The 25th anniversary logo, designed by Eric Haze himself, is engraved on the back of the case. Each watch comes in specially designed commemorative packaging.
 
The DW5600EH-7, MSRP $99, will be available at select Macy’s stores in August.
