This is the initiation text in German:

I got this form my own sources but also Lavidaleica posted the teaser image.

We got info from a highly reliable source about a new Leica camera which is going to be announced on June 10:

1) It looks like a Leica monochrome but is smaller.
2) has a  28mm summilux 1.7  fixed lens.
3) full frame sensor (no info on Megapixel number yet)
4) has image stabilization.
5) Evf

Sounds a lot like a high end version of the current Sony RX1. As usual don’t expect this to be a low priced cam!

According to Fujirumors Fuji is considering to launch a new 33mm f/1.0 XF lens! It would certainly add some “WOW” factor to the X system. Let’s see if they will really do it and how much that fun is going to cost!

Quick update to the previous Leica rumor. They will launch new kind of products on June 10 on a special Munich event.

P.S.: Tahnks to the anonymous source who shared this!

We have been told by 100% reliable sources that Leica will launch a surprising product in two weeks from now! Stay tune on! I will try to grab some info about that soon!

For Fuji it makes little sense to compete in the Full Frame market against Canon-Nikon and Sony beasts. And they also understand that the quality difference between APS-C and FF isn’t that big. That’s why according to Fujirumors they will launch a new Medium Format Mirrorless (system?) camera in 1-2 years from now. They would have no competition, be unique and also lean to their long time medium format history. I think that’s a bold move from Fuji!
