I have few updates on my previous post on the rumored Leica products that will be announced at Photokina:
- New Leica M 240 special edition that will be named after a famous musician that uses Leica (I am guessing Seal, Lenny Kravitz, Nikki Sixx). The camera body will be made out of coated brass. This make sense – the focus of this year’s Leica Photokina exhibition is on photography from the world of music.
- Leica V-Lux Typ 114 camera (very high probability)
- Leica M Monochrom Typ 230 camera (very high probability). This camera could be released after Photokina, but it’s coming for sure.
- Leica S medium format camera (high probability). The price of the current Leica S model is expected to go down.
- New Leica cloud service for photographers (very high probability). There will be also some kind of new partnership with Instagram and Facebook.
- Leica D-Lux 6 replacement (very high probability)
- Leica X Typ 113 camera (high probability)
- Leica M-E camera replacement (low probability)
- New Leica 35mm f/2.0 Summicron M lens (low probability)
- Leica 28mm Summilux-M f/1.4 ASPH lens (low probability)
- Vario-Elmar-T 55-135mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH and Super-Vario-Elmar-T 11-23mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH lenses (high probability)
- Leica digital rangefinder without LCD screen (low probability)
