The new TTartisan 28mm f/5.6 lens for Leica M-mount is now open for orders again

By LR admin | Published: January 17, 2022



The first batch of the new TTartisan 28mm f/5.6 lens for Leica M-mount is already shipped to customers who ordered it last year. Today TTartisan started taking orders again on their official website (they do offer international shipping). The lens is also available for pre-order at Adorama, Amazon, B&H Photo, AliExpress, and Pergear but I think the fastest way to get the lens is if you order it directly from the manufacturer’s website.







Previous coverage of the TTartisan 28mm f/5.6 lens can be found here and here:

Is that the rumored Leica Q3 camera?

For comparison, here are the back views of the Leica Q and Leica Q2 cameras:

Did Leica discontinue their APS-C camera product line? (CL/TL)

By LR admin | Published: January 15, 2022



Cropped sensors have an inherent resolution limitation – just ask Olympus about that… This is even more important today, as more manufacturers are coming with 60MP cameras. We had some rumors in the past about a new Leica APS-C camera. Based on what the Leica Design Studio in Munich is working on and a few rumors, I am guessing that Leica has already abandoned its APS-C product line. The last time Leica announced a new APS-C product was back in 2017 if I am not mistaken. Leica TL cameras are not even listed at the official Leica Online Store:
