More rumors for the new Leica M camera, limited edition Noctilux also a possibility

By LR admin | Published: October 27, 2016

I received another set of rumored specifications for the new Leica M camera:

Dedicated ISO dial – it’s places next to the viewfinder (this was already reported few months ago)
24MP sensor (not 36MP as the last tip I received suggested)
New switch under the viewfinder (?)
Less but bigger buttons on the back

With the 50th anniversary of the Noctilux lens, Leica is also rumored to announce a new limited edition of the Noctilux lens (last year Leica already had a ‘0.95’ limited edition Noctilux).
