Leitz Cine announces three new Leitz HUGO II cinema lenses:
The HUGO II lenses are named for their slower apertures. They are an addition to the already existing ten HUGO I focal lengths:
The Leitz HUGO lenses are designed to be small, fast, lightweight and as close focusing as possible with the full character of the Leica M lens glass creating character at capture. The set of 13 full frame lenses ranges from 18 mm to 135 mm. The HUGO I series, 9 lenses from 18-135 mm, are T1.5. The HUGO II series adds 3 focal lengths at T2.1 at the long end for smaller size/weight options as well as slightly different looks. The 50mm T1.0 lens rounds out the set with its complimentary but unique character.

Pictures of this DJI Hasselblad Osmo X rangefinder digital camera are circulating the Web:
The camera looks fake with a design very similar to the Leica M9 Titanium, but on the other hand, this is exactly the design I would copy if I were DJI:
DJI is part of the L-mount alliance, and it is possible that Leica could be involved in such a project similar to what they did with the Zenit M a few years ago:
What do you think?
The DJI camera rumors are nothing new really, TTartisan is also working on a new camera
