Breaking: Leica L1 and L2 watches announced




Apparently, Leica Camera is getting into the watch business… I never thought I will write that sentence in my life, but this is where we are today: the company announced their first two watches under names Leica L1 and Leica L2.

The new Leica watches are designed and manufactured by Ernst Leitz Werkstätten. Both variants are designed by Professor Achim Heine. Both the front glass and the back case cover are made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, with the front being anti-reflective on both sides. Each model also has the patented push-piece crown with a corresponding status display on the dial. Both models will be available in selected Leica Stores as well as at watch dealers worldwide from autumn 2018.

Rumors: the next 7Artisans lens for Leica M-mount will be wide angle


I received some information that the next 7Artisans lens for Leica M-mount will be wide angle. My personal guess is 24mm or 28mm. Currently 7Artisans has two lenses (35mm f/2 and a 50mm f/1.1) with rangefinder coupling:
