Dr. Kaufmann the CEO of Leica Camera AG betrayed Mr Champion, seineszeichens head of the largest European Leica dealer:
It is a new camera system, which under the code-word AFRika kept.
“A system reflecting the needs of professional digital photography in the 21st century. Handy as a DSLR. High-resolution as a studio camera. With a processor, as there is still no. With lenses, as none currently exists.”
AFRika could be here for autofocus (AF) R. So a digital Leica R with auto focus.
“High-resolution as a Studoikamera.” This will mean a new sensor, the question remains whether this is still in small picture format move, or possibly greater proportions, and so takes against digital medium format cameras field moves.
This will depend on whether his new Leica optics just mitAutofokus provides, or whether even for a bigger picture format sind.Ebenfalls is expected to be seen whether the new digital Leica R is the old lenses of the R system can use Leica here or whether its new customer Lenses force.
