I already mentioned the possibility of Leica not releasing a new digital M rangefinder for Photokina this year.

The new Leica T camera that will be announced at Photokina will be called Leica TL. You probably already noticed that the new Leica APO Macro-Elmarit TL 60mm f/2.8 ASPH lens was already labeled as TL while previous lenses were just T. All this makes sense since the SL and TL technically share the same mount (one is using full frame lenses, the other APS-C).
