Leica is rumored to release/resurrect more vintage lenses in the future. I do not have exact information on what lenses are coming next, but this process has already started. Here are some of the vintage lenses that Leica introduced recently. They all have one thing in common – they are more expensive compared to their “regular” counterparts:

Leica Summaron-M 28mm f/5.6 lens ($2,595)

Leica THAMBAR-M 90mm f/2.2 lens ($6,495)

Leica mirrorless camera mockup (not the new CL)

The already rumored new Leica mirrorless L-mount camera with EVF and code name “CLooney” could actually be called “Leica CL“.

I still expect the official announcement before the end of the year. The new model will be made in Germany and was already registered with the Indonesian telecommunication agency under the code name 7323. The camera is rumored to have the same 24MP ASP-C sensor from the TL2.
