this really reminds me to something else on Photography tools:
where has the design idea gone to ? Wasn´t it supposed to be cool to have tools that represent a photographers will to show his customers that he was not "just a guy with some camera" ? Where is the "appleness", the "BraunStyle" in todays photography products ? Something like Italian design , modern industrial studies as many, many are made by young talented designers with fresh ideas ? Something like the Carbon Infinity or here as another example this:

again: I only see this in Japanese Prototypes, but even the Japanese don´t bring this to the market - so again -are we photographers conservatives ?
Aren´t we supposed to be creative people looking for new ideas and looks ? Why should our tools look so boring ?
