A quick update on the rumored new Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH lens and Leica TL2 camera – it seems that we are now getting closer to the official announcement because the product pages already exist on the official Leica website. See for yourself – if you go to:
- http://de.leica-camera.com/Fotografie/Leica-TL/Leica-TL2
- http://de.leica-camera.com/Fotografie/Leica-M/M-Objektive/Noctilux-M-1-1,25-75-ASPH (redirects to Salzburg – probably the code name of the new lens)
you will get access denied error messages (403 Forbidden):
instead of the regular “404 not found” that usually comes up when you type a wrong URL, for example: http://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/LeicaRumors:
All this means that the dedicated new product pages already exist but are not yet active.
The same was the case with the Leica M-D Typ 262 camera and Leica Summaron-M 28mm f/5.6 lens before they were announced.
