Flashback: Leica M10 Royal Selangor special limited edition camera from 2018

Have you seen this Royal Selangor and Leica collaboration from December 2018? I must have missed it and a reader recently pointed it out to me. Here are the details on the Leica M10 Royal Selangor special limited edition camera:

Royal Selangor and Leica bring together their legacy of craftsmanship and design to produce a special edition Leica M10. This digital rangefinder will be offered in a pewter and silver limited edition of 10 cameras respectively. The special edition Leica M10 comes with the Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH lens and was launched at Leica flagship store at Raffles Hotel Arcade on Dec 06, 2018.

What’s next for Leica? (Leica Q2 Monochrom rumors)


Some new Leica rumors:

  • Leica Q2 Monochrom is a possibility (not confirmed yet, reported only by one source)
  • There will be a new special/limited edition Noctilux M 50mm f/0.95 lens (with a vintage design?).
  • Leica is now working on “next-generation M lens design” that will be optimized for high megapixel cameras (long term plan, at least a few years until we start seeing these new lenses on the market).
