After the Leica M11-P camera announcement, here is an updated list and a recap of expected/rumored Leica cameras and lenses (see the previous reports here):
→ Leica is rumored to introduce a new Q-E entry-level camera. The new Leica Q-E will basically be the current Q2 (just like with the M9 and M-E).
→ New Leica SL3 camera is rumored to be announced in Q1 of 2024.
→ Leica M interchangeable lens camera with built-in EVF (Leica RM?): “if there were sufficient demand, Leica would consider producing an M with EVF” (source). Don’t expect this model to be released until the next generation of M cameras (M12?). In 2024 Leica is planning a major release for the next generation of M cameras to coincide with 70 years of the platform. Three cameras are rumored to be released in a variety of finishes.
→ Rumored Leica lenses:
- A new version of the Leica APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH is rumored
- We can expect more new M-mount lenses to be announced to take full advantage of the new 60MP sensor
- Leica 105mm lens for L-mount
- Leica 18-50mm lens for L-mount
- Leica APO-Summicron-SL 24mm f/2 ASPH lens
→ For the Leica M 70th-anniversary in 2024, Leica is expected/rumored to release the next generation of Leica watches. A new Leica L3 watch with a mechanical alarm complication is a possibility.
→ Leica mirrorless medium format camera is scheduled for production in 2025 (see the first picture of the camera prototype here).
