Gear Gallery……Three objects of desire

without comments

Desire is too strong.

Three objects of admiration is maybe more accurate.

Really, this is just some cool stuff that caught my eye this week — stuff I’ll probably never own — but stuff with clever design and craftsmanship that’s fun to appreciate.

First of all a gorgeous bicycle rack and shelving unit made of natural wood and copper water piping:

See Method Studio for more details.

Next is the latest camera system from Leica — the T:

Leica prices are somewhat out of control. The cheapest lens for the new T system is the $1,800 18ā€“56mm ʒ/3.5ā€“5.6. See the dedicated Leica T site for more details.

Finally, a sleek, lightweight teardrop trailer with an expandable pop-top — the Alto R series:

I’m not sure which is better this or the trailer designed by the NASA engineer I wrote about a few years ago. For more information about the Alto pop-top check out the manufacturer’s website.
