The new Leica M camera was initially supposed to be announced during the Photokina show in September but it was postponed. The second rumored announcement is/was for November 22nd-23rd but it seems that this date could be pushed back as well.

The new firmware update 4.1.0.0 for the Leica S (Typ 007) medium format camera is now available for download in the owner’s area.
