According to Valentin Sama, Leica will have “a little surprise in the second half of June“. No further details were given as to what new products are to be expected. The rumored options are (IMHO):

• A new Leica M9 version (not a limited edition) which should be ready for production at that point. The model name may not necessary be M9.2.
• The previously rumored 21mm ASPH f/3.8 lens.
• New firmware for Leica M8 and M9 cameras (currently being beta tested).
• New Leica point and shoot camera – the Leica V-Lux 20 will be discontinued soon and Leica will need a new entry level camera.
