It seems that Huawei is still working with Leica despite the recent rumors and the announcement of the Sharp Aquos R6 smartphone announcement with a 22MP 1-inch sensor and Leica-branded f/1.9 Summicron lens. Huawei is now teasing a new flagship P50 smartphone with a dual Leica camera array (Huawei has been working with Leica for a few years now). Stay tuned for more details. A few months Leica was rumored to be working with the Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus.
You probably remember the Kamerakraft LM grip v2.0 for Leica M film cameras (already sold out). Over the past few months, I have had many readers ask me about the M10 version of the grip. Today, Kamerakraft finally released the LM10 version for Leica M10 cameras with ARCA rail and memory card storage. You can order the new grip directly from the Leica Rumors Online Store – keep in mind that this is a limited edition run of only 200 pieces, so plan your purchase accordingly (the price includes free international shipping).
Update – Kamerakraft grips are currently out of stock, but you can check the latest IDS Works modular grips for different Leica models.
