Advertisement Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Hi jackperk, Take a look here Next lenses coming. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jonoslack Posted August 26, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted August 26, 2014 Any idea when the two new zooms -- WS and Longer -- will be made available? Â Soon I hope (think) hopefully before Christmas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasmg Posted August 27, 2014 Share #3 Â Posted August 27, 2014 I read somewhere it would be September. Can't remember where though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Posted August 27, 2014 Share #4 Â Posted August 27, 2014 I would be surprised if the lenses should be ready by December, but who knows. There will be prototypes shown at photokina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel Posted August 27, 2014 Share #6 Â Posted August 27, 2014 Any idea if Leica is working on 1.4 primes ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2014 Share #7 Â Posted August 27, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The nice folks at Leica NJ told me that the lenses should be available for purchase shortly after they are announced at Photokina in September, and that they expect these lenses will not be as constrained as M lenses.

SirPiet Posted August 27, 2014 Share #8 Â Posted August 27, 2014 Nice. i'm looking really forward to grab a 55-135 lens... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikasmg Posted September 1, 2014 Share #10 Â Posted September 1, 2014 What "constrained" does mean in this context? Â Â Possibly in terms of dellivery times for new products? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim sink Posted September 17, 2014 Share #11 Â Posted September 17, 2014 Early 2015 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted September 18, 2014 Share #12 Â Posted September 18, 2014 I think jim sink is probably correct, at least in practice. The quoted delivery time stated to me at Photokina on Tuesday was "Early January". Â We do however live in hope! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelU Posted September 18, 2014 Share #13 Â Posted September 18, 2014 Also The web site says "Janury 2015" ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasAM Posted September 18, 2014 Share #14 Â Posted September 18, 2014 Never mind the zoomlenses, we need primes!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenf Posted September 18, 2014 Share #15 Â Posted September 18, 2014 Never mind the zoomlenses, we need primes!! Â Exactly. A 50mm (75mm-e) would probably be enough to tip me over into buying a T, EVF, 23 and 50 to replace other gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted September 19, 2014 Share #16 Â Posted September 19, 2014 Also The web site says "Janury 2015" ...

SirPiet Posted September 19, 2014 Share #17 Â Posted September 19, 2014 let's hope they live up to the expectations. i compared the MTF charts of the 55-135 with the 80-200 for Leica R: the curves of the T lens look worse, although retail price is the same and the R is full-frame...

thighslapper Posted September 19, 2014 Share #18 Â Posted September 19, 2014 ????? Â A quick glance at the MTF's in Puts' book suggests they are as good if not better ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
