Photokina rumor: Leica will be releasing a new lower price rangefinder, an R10, and the new D Lux-4

By LR admin | Published: August 15, 2008
"I was told by a very reliable source. Leica wants to expand it's sales in their camera and lens divisions. Making an RF camera that is affordable, ($1000 - $2,000) and lenses that are more affordable, which they are doing currently, should get more people using the RF format. This camera will be announced and shown at Photokina, along with the new R10, and the Dlux-4, in a kit form (including a telephoto add-on lens). It makes good marketing sense. Also, they are going to drop the 4/3 system, leaving Olympus to their Zuiko lenses, and continue their association with Panasonic. My source is solid, I'm not a troll. I guess we'll know next month, for sure."

    I hope there is an R 10 in the near future…I have a bushel basket full of R-ROM glass, and a 400/560 combo that needs a new body.
    All of which will be stranded if no R is on the horizon.

    I’m just waiting on a[n R] 10
