New Leica 35mm and 50mm Summilux M lenses rumored to be announced later this year

By LR admin | Published: April 28, 2022

I have been reporting for a while that Leica will slowly start upgrading their M lenses to be a better fit for future high megapixel cameras. While most current M lenses are probably going to be ok when used with the latest 60MP Leica M11 camera, you have to consider that the MP count will only go up in the future.

Leica Q3 rumored for 2023 with 60MP sensor

By LR admin | Published: April 22, 2022

A new Leica Q3 camera is expected to be announced next year (2023) and it is rumored to have a 60MP sensor.
