Time to update my previous list of Leica expectation for Photokina. The folowing three products will be released for sure:
- Leica D-Lux 5 with optional EVF
- Leica V-Lux 2 will be based on the Panasonic Fz100
- Titanium Leica M9 with a special version of the 35/1.4 asph lens (initially reported a month ago). The kit will also come with an integrated hand strap an a dedicated holster style case.
The rest is still unclear. The big question mark is still the mythical R-lens solution (or maybe a new Leica EVIL system camera?) – nobody has seen it, nobody has any real proof that it really exists, except that email Leica sent few days ago.
Expect announcements to start the day before Photokina, or on the first day of Photokina (September 21st).
I will continue to update this list if I get other reliable information in the next few days.
