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.

Panasonic just reduced the price of the S1R L-mount mirrorless camera by $700 and the S1 by $300 off:

TTArtisan lenses vs. 7artisans lenses

By LR admin | Published: August 19, 2019

It seems that 7artisans is preparing to launch a new brand of lenses under the name TTArtisan.

TTArtisans will probably be limited edition versions of upcoming 7artisans lenses – for example: TTArtisan already sold the first 200 pieces of the new 7artisans 75mm f/1.25 lens one month before the lens was released to the public. The new website will be www.ttartisan.com (not live yet). Stay tuned for more information.
