Production is underway for a new movie about the life of wartime photographer and correspondent Lee Miller. Filming has begun in Croatia, with actress Kate Winslet playing the role of Miller. The first production still of Winslet as Miller has been released, complete with a Rolleiflex camera in hand.

The movie apparently focuses on the decade of Miller’s life, which includes her time reporting the events of World War II. The former Vogue model-turned-war photographer captured many life-changing events with her lens. She was one of the first photographers to record the horrors of Nazi concentration camps.

Leica has released another of its cameras in the olive-green “Reporter” suit. This time, you can get the Q2 Monochrom in this special “outfit,” and it’s not even a lot more expensive than the basic version.

To remind you, Leica already has the M10-P and the regular Q2 in this version. But it’s a pleasant surprise that the Q2 Monochrom doesn’t cost $300 or even $1,000 more than the basic version, like the Q2 and the M10-P respectively.
