For LeicaRumors and PhotoRumors readers this should not be a surprise at all since I have been reporting rumors about it for over a year now - Zenit and Leica today announced a new joint production digital rangefinder camera called Zenit M (based on the Leica M Type 240). The new Zenit M will come with a Zenitar 35mm f/1.0 M-mount lens (previously leaked here).
The full press release can be found here. Additional information can be found here:
I am confused: the new Zenit M digital rangefinder camera is designed in Russia, made in… Germany?
Is the Zenit M digital rangefinder camera only a limited edition run?
