Photokina 2012: the Zeiss ZM “special surprise” lens that never happened

Zeiss ZM rangefinder camera lenses for Leica M mount
Back in 2012 Zeiss promised at least one new “special surprise“ fast ZM lens (for Leica M mount) for 2013 that never materialized, unless I am missing something (see full press release). Maybe they will come around to release this special new lens during the 2014 Photokina show – they already have a new teaser going on.

Zeiss discontinued their Ikon rangefinder camera back in 2012 (both black and silver versions) – not sure if that has impacted their future ZM plans.
