Leica is rumored to announce a new SL camera based on the Panasonic S1RII (44.3MP). The new SL model will be positioned between the current Leica SL3 (60MP) and the Leica SL2-S (24MP). Here is what we know so far:
The Panasonic S1RII was announced in February 2025 – here is the camera’s coverage at PhotoRumors:
Mr. Ding will soon release a new Contax 28mm f/2.8 G28 non-destructive lens conversion kit for Leica M-mount. It’s worth noting that, unlike the G35 and G45 conversion kits (the G35 kit is already sold out), the new G28 kit will be made of aluminum, making it much lighter. Here are the first pictures of the new G28 conversion kit:
→ Rare Leica CL “Snapshot” prototype film camera listed for sale on eBay for $69k.

Here are the details from their website:
