Crazy, but still a rumor: Leica may be coming out with a line of cinema lenses
I do not know what to think about this rumor. I would say it’s busted right upfront (anonymous email):
At a Leica Day last year in La Jolla, CA, I heard that a large Hollywood studio had bought a copy of each R lens from Leica. They planned to retrofit them for use on motion picture cameras. I’ve heard subsequent rumors that Leica may be coming out with a line of cinema lenses.
Can someone that attended this meeting in La Jolla last year confirm this rumor?
