The $7,350 APO Summicron 50mm f/2.0 ASPH lens is starting to ship again after a long delay – Leica had to make some adjustments to address the flare issues reported by many early adopters. The first lenses from the new batch were already spotted in Hong Kong and are expected to hit the US market by the end of this month. Here are few links where you can pre-order the lens online:

The Leica S system trade up program is now live (I reported that few weeks ago but then Leica pulled it out). You can trade in any SLR or medium format camera and receive $5,000 instant credit towards the purchase of a new Leica S type 006 camera (priced at $21,950.00). This new program will start on April 1 and will end on June 30, 2014 (no, not an April fool’s joke).
Leica sent out invitations for a “special highlight” event on April 24th. If you are a LeicaRumors reader, this should not be a surprise because few months ago I already reported that the long awaited Leica T type 701 mirrorless camera will be announced in April. The new camera is expected to have an APS-C sensor and will mostly likely be produced in Germany, while some of the lenses could be made in Asia.
