Big Leica announcement coming on November 22nd



Leica is having a big event on November 22nd where they will most likely announce a Leica CL mirrorless camera with EVF and at least one new L-mount lens (Leica Elmarit-TL 18mm f/2.8 ASPH).

The new Leica CL is expected to be an interchangeable lens digital camera with L-mount (similar to the Leica TL2, not to be mistaken with the film Leica CL from 1973).

On the same event Leica may also announce some of the other rumored products.

7Artisans to announce two new APS-C mirrorless lenses: 12mm f/2.8 and 35mm f/1.2



In addition to the new 35mm f/2 full frame lens for Leica M-mount (rangefinder coupled) I reported about a few months ago, the Chinese company 7Artisans will soon also announce two new lenses designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras (available in Sony-E, Canon EOS-M, Fuji-X and Micro Four Thirds mounts):

  • 7Artisans 12mm f/2.8
  • 7Artisans 35mm f/1.2

Additional information on the 7Artisans 35mm f/2 full frame lens for Leica M-mount:

"7Artisans 35mm f/2 lens for Leica M Mount cameras. And unlike their 50mm f/1.1 lens, the aperture lens of the 35 f/2 will have clicks! The de-clicked aperture ring on the 50 f/1.1 lens is probably the biggest complaint I’ve heard about this lens and I did contact them while I was working on the review and suggested them to consider making a clicked version for their future M lenses. So it’s great to hear they are listening to customers!"

7Artisans lenses can be purchased at: Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon DE | eBay US | eBay UK.
