Another Leica store/shop/boutique (not sure what is the correct name – I see all three of them in use) will open in Fürth, South Germany. The official opening will be on March 12/13, 2010. They claim on their website that all Leica products will be in stock on the day of the opening (in limited quantities).

Usually B&H doesn’t list products as “Available for pre-order” (just received e-mail notification) unless they know they will be getting some in stock in the next few days:

Another store lists the Leica C-Lux 3 as discontinued

By LR admin | Published: March 1, 2010

After B&H there is another store that has listed the Leica C-Lux 3 as discontinued and is sending us for a Leica C-Lux 4 wild goose chase (there is no C-Lux 4 listed on that website yet):

The Leica C-Lux 4 and a new Leica 35mm Summilux lens are definitely coming soon, the question is: will there be something else?

  • The Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Leica Camera AG in Solms Franz Jung has resigned  (source).
  • ThinkTank announced a new bag that may be of interest for Leica shooters:

“Created as an homage to classic photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, we’ve created five soft-sided shoulder bags in our new Retrospective™ series.  Designed for the professional photographer that wants to remain inconspicuous in any situation, the three shoulder bags’ and two lens changer bags’ retro look mixes “Old-School” with “New-School” that is a throwback to the days when bags where visually simple but highly functional.”
