In addition: Last Monday Leica presented their "real" products for the Photokina 2008 (what you can buy from October(?) in a shop) .
Tomorrow they will give an outline of the frame parameters on future Products which will appear till Photokina 2010 (new lenses, the fabulous "S2", perhaps something about the dCL )

[mknawabi]

maybe a surprise m9 introduction?





....hah.

[veraikon]

no it, will kill the m8.2.
I only expect the outline of the frame parameters on future products which will appear in 2009 (new lenses, the fabulous "S2", perhaps something about the dCL )

[infrequent]

what is the "fabulous S2"?

[jmooney]

I'm hoping for an R10.

[capitalK]

Judging by the title, maybe Johnny Mnemonic-style memory implants?

Same here mate

"fabulous S2"

If we can trust the rumours the future dSLR Camera of Leica.

Whatever Dr Kaufmann will announce, it must be some serious for Leica. LFI changed his apperance to the 23rd

[flessas]

maybe a Dxx in a RF micro 4/3 design....
Oh I am dreaming again.

[parsec1]

Be nice if they announced they'd stopped making Digital Ms and sold the patents to Nikon.!!!

[Olsen]

i am prity sure that it is a digital R. If it is not announced now the R system will disappear into oblivion.

[ocean7]

Not a bad guess Olsen. That makes a lot of sense.

[onthedot]

There were those rumors about some sort of medium format digital.

[jbf]

I bet it'll be a medium format R10.... thats what i'm guessing... who knows.

[ocean7]

This might be a fake, but could be nice :

Is this it?

[allen_a_george]

Don't see why they would lie . . . And, as I commented in this post, it makes perfect sense for Leica.

[robbert]

Can't wait untill 7 o clock, which is the exact same time by the way the seller of my new Leitz Focomat V35 will be appearing. viva la leica!

[rolleistef]

answer : it's a 34MP Reflex, named "Leica S2", with both a focal plane and a curtain shutter, on which you can mount numerous lenses, out of which 10 are new Leica lenses. impressive!

[ocean7]

Pictures of the new system. Sorry if it has been posted before...

Looks like a massive beast

[Double Negative]

Leica drops the L bomb. S2 MF DSLR and R10.

[johnastovall]

The just-announced medium-format Leica S2 will feature sensor, software, and firmware developed by the experienced engineers of Phase One and will be distributed exclusively through Phase One channels.
This promises the quality and sophistication of Leica with the engineering prowess and medium-format experience of Phase One.

[SolaresLarrave]

At the cost of 20,000 euros, of course.

Not that bad, considering it's the body alone.
