Some additional information/rumors on the upcoming Leica VARIO-ELMARIT-SL 24–70mm f/2.8 ASPH lens (L-mount):
The new Voigtlander ULTRON Vintage Line 28mm f/2 Aspherical VM Type II lens for Leica M-mount is now available for pre-order in Europe at Jo Geier:
In the US the lens will be listed soon at:
From Reddotforum – Leica announced a new Sport Optics 10-year Passport protection plan and 30-year warranty:
The Leica Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams limited edition camera is already sold out at most retailers – this model was limited to 750 units worldwide:
The new Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 30 centimeters. At a recent presented the new APO 35mm lens at Leica Store Nuremberg, Peter Karbe (head of Optics Development at Leica) was asked whether Leica would also launch more lenses with the new minimum focus distance of 30cm. His response was “yes”, adding upon further questions: “I have already told you more than I should have said.”
The next SL lens (L-mount) to be announced by Leica will be the VARIO-ELMARIT-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 ASPH according to Nokishita. Leica currently has the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 ASPH lens in their lineup that is often criticized because of its variable aperture – the new 24-70mm f/2.8 will be a welcome addition. Unless I am mistaken, the 24–70mm f/2.8 SL lens was not listed in any previous SL roadmaps, which means that we will probably get an updated roadmap as well.
Update – I received some additional information on the rumored/upcoming VARIO-ELMARIT-SL 24–70mm f/2.8 ASPH lens: it will be offered together with the Leica SL2s camera as a set. The optics of the new lens will be based on the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art lens (this is hard for me to believe – Leica will take a Sigma lens and put a red dot on top of it?)
