The latest Leica rumors: new M camera without LCD screen, tilt shift SL lenses

Leica-M-Edition-60-camera-frontLeica-M-Edition-60-camera-back
The latest Leica rumors:

  • On March 10th (not 100% sure about the exact date), Leica is rumored to announce a new M camera similar to the M Edition 60 (still available in stock today): there will be no red dot on the front and no LCD screen on the back (only an ISO dial). I don’t think this new version will be a limited edition – it will rather be the “mass production” version of the M Edition 60 limited edition.
  • Leica is also working on three tilt shift lenses for the SL mirrorless camera.

Update: the name of the new camera model could be Leica M-D.
