New camera system from Leica rumored to be announced before the end of the year

By LR admin | Published: August 3, 2015

Leica-Rumors
Leica is rumored to announce a completely new camera system by the end of the year (most likely in September). The details are still sketchy, here are some of the tips I received:

  • Full fame camera with autofocus
  • New line of AF lenses
  • Very good high ISO performance – probably the best in the industry
  • Will be available in stores before Christmas

This could be a new M camera with AF, EVF and ability of using manual focus M lenses – something based on the current Q and M cameras.

Very interesting development… stay tuned for additional information.

If you have any details on the new system, you can contact me anonymously here.
