ShotenKobo posted a picture of a new Megadap M2RF Leica M-mount to Canon RF-mount AF adapter that will allow you to autofocus M lenses on Canon EOS R cameras. Currently, there are many M to RF adapters, but as far as I know, the Megadap M2RF will be the first autofocus adapter of this kind.
Similar adapters already exist for Nikon Z-mount – see previous coverage:
Here are the Leica highlights from the upcoming Wetzlar Camera Auctions #6 on October 12, 2024 that will take place in Wetzlar, Germany:
Leica is rumored to announce a new Q3 camera with a fixed 43mm f/2 APO lens. The actual focal length is not yet 100% confirmed, but it will be very close to 40mm. The official announcement is expected before the end of the year (2024).
This rumor also raises the question: what about the Leica Q3 Monochrom? I received some bad news on this topic, but I still do not feel comfortable sharing it online because I am not sure how accurate is the information I received. Stay tuned for updates.
