The above picture was originally posted in the comments section of my last Leica T post and is already circulating the Web. It seems that there is a Zeiss M lens attached to the Leica T cameras coupled with an adapter.

Leica T type 701 camera: what do we know so far?

By LR admin | Published: April 4, 2014

The Leica T type 701 camera is rumored to be announced this month, most likely on April 24th. I’ve said many times in the past that the new T model will not be a MFT camera and it will not be based on an existing Panasonic model. The new mirrorless solution from Leica will be an APS-C based interchangeable lens system camera with AF and without a rangefinder (it will probably have an optional EVF). The body will be made in Germany and it will be very solid built with a special new/unique design/production process. Here are the two leaked images from two months ago:

New: Novoflex macro LEM/VIS II adapter set for Leica M type 240

By LR admin | Published: April 3, 2014

Novoflex released a new macro LEM/VIS II adapter set for the Leica M type 240 camera. CameraWest published a quick review on their website:

“This nifty set for Leica M mount functions in two ways and will expand the possibilities of your M system. First, when used in combination with a Visoflex II or III, it allows infinity focus with Visoflex specific lenses. Second, and perhaps its more popular employment, is its use as a macro tube set for the Leica M Typ 240 with live view and any of your M lenses.”

The price of the set is around $400 at PopFlash. Here is also a hands-on video from Tamarkin Camera:
