Leica X2 and one new M lens on May 10th?

By LR admin | Published: April 18, 2012

Leica X1

In addition to the Monochrome M body, I also think that Leica will announce a new X2 compact camera and maybe even one new M lens (probably 50mm Summicron). The silver Leica X1 is already discontinued and not even in stock at B&H, Adorama and Dale. The X2 will not be an interchangeable lens camera – Leica will announce it’s mirrorless solution during the Photokina show in Septmeber.
