Three new TTArtisans lenses for Leica M-mount coming: 21mm f/1.5, 35mm f/1.4 and 11mm f/2.8

By LR admin | Published: August 21, 2019

A few weeks ago I reported that TTArtisans will be announcing two new rangefinder coupled lenses for Leica M-mount: 21mm f/1.5 and 35mm f/1.4. It seems that there will also be a third new lens: 11mm f/2.8 lens – I assume that lens is also for Leica M-mount because of the M in the name even though the mount doesn’t seem to be rangefinder coupled (see above picture).

Venus Optics is also planning to introduce wide-angle lenses for Leica M-mount under the Laowa brand.

Update: TTartisan lenses are available for sale at the PhotoRumors Online Store with free international shipping.

By LR admin | Published: August 19, 2019

The Leica SL2 is rumored to be announced on Tuesday, September 24th together with a new roadmap of Leica L-mount lenses. Shipping should start shortly after the official announcement. Of course, these are just rumors for now. The Leica SL is currently not available for sale at Adorama and Amazon (still in stock at B&H). The SL has also been out of stock for a while in some European countries (Switzerland for example). The new Leica SL2 is rumored to come with a 47MP sensor similar to the Leica Q2.
