It seems that the new product announcement I mentioned a few days ago (June 18th?) will be for a new limited edition camera to mark the 50th anniversary of Leica Historica:
“Continuing the tradition of the LEICA-HISTORICA special editions M6, TRI-Elmar-M, Leicavit-M, M (Type 246), and LEICA MP for our previous anniversaries, LEICA Camera is once again releasing an exclusive LEICA M special edition to mark the 50th anniversary of LEICA-HISTORICA.”
From the pictures, it looks like it will be a Leica M-A film camera with an APO-Summicron 35mm f/2 ASPH lens.
Here is the original post from Leica Historica
