Yesterday I reported about a new Andy Summers limited edition Leica camera – I can now confirm this rumor, here are two quotes from a recent Sonicscoop interview with Andy Summers:
“With so many expressions available to Andy Summers, that’s the one he puts first. But it can’t be an easy selection process, when this renaissance man has so many talents to choose from: literary (his memoir One Train Later is an addictive read), photographic (Leica just created a signature camera for him), filmmaker, family man.
I mean, for me, actually it’s a good year this year. I’ve got this record out. It’s going well. I got a signature camera being made by Leica. I should have very nice photo book out later in the year, and then also Fender making a new guitar for me, as well as a nice tour in Brazil and going back to China to play some stuff there. So yeah, it’s looking pretty good.”
Who is Andy Summers:
Two more Leica rumors:
I have updated the list of upcoming/rumored Leica cameras and lenses.
The Leica TL2 mirrorless camera is currently in stock in the US at Adorama, Amazon, Leica Store Miami and PopFlash.
Like the new Leica TL2 Facebook page for a detailed coverage of the TL2.
Here is an updated list of upcoming/rumored Leica cameras and lenses:
Another very interesting report from ZenitCamera.com (see also previous related posts) – the new Zenit D1 mirrorless full-frame digital camera could be a limited edition version based on the Leica M9. The Zenit D1 could launch with several new Zenitar lenses for Leica M-mount.
My understanding is that another Zenit D11 model will also be released, but the details are not clear.
The price of the new Zenit digital cameras are expected to be 30% lower than the corresponding Leica products.
It makes sense for Zenit to launch a new M-mount digital camera and lenses – after all, they have been producing fake Leica rangefinders for decades (Zorki and FED cameras were also produced in the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Factory KMZ, which also produced the Zenit single lens reflex camera):
