Alfred Eisenstaedt always used a Leica.

Let me know when and where.

bulbmogul Ordinarily, I would never dare ask this question, but what's behind this lifestyle? Do you get like a dollar for every lightbulb sold in America?

My point is that if you compare their gear in the 30’s - 50’s to today’s top gear (even prosumer gear) technically the old gear is left in the dust - even if they were TOTL at the time.

still, the work they created is classic top flight art.

Yes one must always have a backup to the backup and a spare just in case like Leica and Nikon Cameras or watches for that matter.. But no stainless flipping junk..

You do realize that all Rolex watches have the same type of mechanical movement and the material of the bracelet and case have no bearing on the performance on the watch correct? Seems like someone has an inferiority complex...

RIMOWA just released their new advertising campaign starring Rihanna, Patti Smith, LeBron James & Roger Federer:


I think this is moving in the right direction.

I love Patti, but this... the godmother of punk peddling overpriced luggage? Shame, shame, shame.

(BTW I never understood why people would buy a brand just because the brand paid a ton of money to some "celebrity")

I actually like the dimensions of Lebron's Cabin Plus here - I have a Cabin Small in polycarbonate that I need to replace, I am debating whether to get the regular or plus size (I tend to run out of space in the small). I figure I may also need a small, so thinking about whether it makes sense to buy something more inexpensive like Away for that

Can someone explain the purpose of those luggage belts? I can't see the point of paying 250 USD for something thad adds absolutely no utility nor aesthetic to the case.
