Breaking news: the new Leica 35 Summilux f/1.4 is here!

Update: the “what’s new” entry was removed from Leica US website.

The new 35 Lux on Leica’s official site – there is a small entry on the new 35 Lux lens in the “What’s New” section on Leica US website. From there the link goes to the PDF document download section which still lists the old version. After the dcviews leak and all previous rumors, I say the official announcement should follow next week, maybe as early as Monday.

Here is a screenshot of the page (click for larger view) – as you can see the image is identical to the lens from the previous leak:

Dcviews.com thinks the new Leica 35mm Summilux-M was released today

Dcviews has this article on their main page with today’s date (May 8th, 2010):

The shown picture is of  the current 35 Lux model (see images of the rumored new 35 Lux lens here – it has 15 feet and 7 meters marks, the old model has 30 feet and 10 meters marks).

Dcviews has been around for a while and based on my experience are well informed. Maybe the announcement will be next week and they published the article online ahead of time with the wrong images?
