Rock n Roll released six new camera straps and bags for Leica M, Leica Q, and Leica SL cameras

Rock n Roll released six new camera straps and bags for Leica M, Leica Q, and Leica SL cameras:
 
It has been 100 years since Leica presented the Leica I to the public at the Leipzig Spring Fair and revolutionised the world of photography in the process.
Rock n Roll straps and bags, as a Leica dedicated brand, decided to commemorate Leica’s 100-year legacy of redefining photography by presenting some new strap collections. The first was the  Century Collection: a limited-edition series of handcrafted leather camera straps that blend elegance and functionality. This collection has straps for all Leica Cameras. Leica M, Leica Q, and Leica SL cameras.
 
Crafted from premium full-grain, natural tan leather, these straps exude luxury, style, and sturdiness. Our signature Red Dot accents at both ends complete this masterpiece, making it the perfect accessory for your Leica SL. Available in two standard lengths—125cm and 100cm.
Carry your Leica SL with the spirit of the past, present, and future – one frame at a time. 
Here are some photos of the straps for Leica SL cameras:

The second collection is the Milano Straps. 

Milano strap is a handcrafted beauty, inspired by the minimal classic design of Leica and the elegance and sophistication of Milan, the fashion capital of the world. Made from premium Italian calf leather, its unique seven-strand braided design offers a perfect blend of style, strength, and comfort. Despite its durability, the Milano Strap is exceptionally soft to the neck, ensuring maximum comfort during extended use.

At approximately 20mm wide, the Milano Strap is not only visually stunning but also incredibly durable, capable of holding over 10kg of weight with ease. Each strap comes with superior-quality 18mm split rings, ensuring a secure and reliable connection to your camera.

Available in two standard lengths—125cm and 100cm—with the option for custom lengths, the Milano Strap provides versatility for every photographer. It is designed to work perfectly with Leica Q, Leica M, and all cameras that accept split rings. Each strap also includes two protective rings for added safety and is beautifully presented in a premium magnetic box, reflecting its luxurious craftsmanship.

Leica Noctilux M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH lens


A member of the Leica forum discovered that his photos were wrongly marked in the FOTOS app as taken with a “Noctilux-M 1:1.2/35 ASPH” lens:

I installed Firmware 2.2.2 into my Leica M11 and M11 Mono. Everything seemed to be working fine until I attached my 35mm Summicron-M f/2 V4. My Lens Detection on both cameras now read my 35mm version 4 Summicron as a “1.2 35mm” My f/2 doesn’t even have 6 bit coding. When I transfer a photo taken with my f/2 Summicron to the app FOTOS my photo lists my f/2 Summicron as a NOCTILUX-M 1:1.2/35 ASPH.

If you have been following the LR blog, I have been reporting for a while about a new/rumored/upcoming Leica Noctilux M 35mm f/1.2 lens:
