Leica Camera already sent invitations for a “Fest der Fotografie” that will take place in Wetzlar on January 18th, 2017. Apart from Joel Meyerowitz being introduced to the Leica Hall of Fame, I expect this also be the launch event for the rumored Leica M10 camera, described as “experience the new milestone of Leica photography“.

Rumors: Kipon is working on a new Iberit 18mm tilt-shift lens for Leica M mount

By LR admin | Published: December 8, 2016

I received a tip that Kipon is working on a new Iberit 18mm tilt-shift lens for Leica M mount. I am not aware of any native tilt-shift solutions for Leica M mount – you need to use an adapter or one of the Canon/Nikon T&S lenses (also with an adapter).

Kipon recently introduced several Handevision Iberit full frame lenses for Leica M mount.
