Advertisement Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Leica CM / ML?/ New Leica Mirrorless Announcement. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
IkarusJohn Posted June 4, 2018 Share #202 Posted June 4, 2018 The original linked rumor predicts full frame, L mount, between SL and CL, called C-M or similar (implying some M connection, possibly form factor), and 5 new mirrorless lenses added to the roadmap.

jmahto Posted June 4, 2018 Share #204 Posted June 4, 2018 Rumor is that the new camera will be sold under USD 1K. < I hear maniacal laugh in the distance as I type this. > 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted June 4, 2018 Share #205 Posted June 4, 2018 Please consider Jono's comments dunk Well Jono is essentially saying there’s nothing coming on the 14th. Of course he’s talking in the context of this thread so it’s possible that a new PanaLeica fixed lens model is coming instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags27 Posted June 4, 2018 Share #207 Posted June 4, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not according to Dr Kaufmann's 2017 discussion with LuLa's Kevin R dunk Haven't listened to it in a couple of months, but IIRC (and I may not), there were 3 things, not necessarily related: 1. June 14 2. greater refinement of the SL 3. more exploitation of the L mount 4. And MAYBE I recall him specifying more L glass This doesn't mean that they will all be announced on June 14th, but that direction of development was certainly clear to me, at least.

He only mentioned potential for the L mount, to be known in June (no day specified). The “more elegant” next SL, less “brutal” (“like with an axe”) current SL, was a separate statement, not necessarily related to June.

jonathan_auch Posted June 5, 2018 Share #209 Posted June 5, 2018 Would love to see a digital version of the CM, with a 40mm lens, full frame sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredericB Posted June 6, 2018 Share #210 Posted June 6, 2018 I guess 'C' stands for compact, and 'M' for M-mount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatlarx Posted June 6, 2018 Share #211 Posted June 6, 2018 I think the new camera will be called C-Lux https://leicarumors.com/2018/06/06/new-leica-c-lux-compact-camera-to-be-announced-soon.aspx/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblitz Posted June 6, 2018 Share #212 Posted June 6, 2018 A new D-lux, which appears to be coming based on Leica registering cameras being made at the Panasonic plant in China, hardly lives up to the build from Leicarumors and an L mount .... personally if it is a FF version of the CL I am in. Love the camera, loved the Q more (needed to trade to get interchangeable lenses and I only want to own 1 digital Leica), and the M10 doesn't shoot video (requirement for grandchildren) .... If it is what I hope, and it is usually less, I will swap my CL for the new camera. Leica usually delivers less than what I hope.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags27 Posted June 6, 2018 Share #214 Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Wow, has Leica Rumors back-tracked on its prediction? If you click on the new link announcing a C-M, instead you get a different story that reflects what Kaufmann actually said at the time--and that did NOT include a prediction about a new camera. here is the original story https://leicarumors.com/2018/05/28/new-leica-mirrorless-camera-to-be-announced-in-june-leica-c-m.aspx/ and if you go through the current portal here: https://leicarumors.com/2018/06/06/updated-list-of-upcoming-rumored-leica-cameras-and-lenses-4.aspx/ and click on the story with that same title: here is what you find https://leicarumors.com/2018/04/02/new-leica-l-mount-related-announcement-coming-on-june-14.aspx/ notice that the new url doesn't have a c-m at the end. Is Rumors still standing by its earlier claim of a new C-M camera? or backtracking to only an announcement of L lenses?

lct Posted June 6, 2018 Share #215 Posted June 6, 2018 Not sure if it is a new url but it is dated April 2, 2018 (https://leicarumors.com/2018/04/02/new-leica-l-mount-related-announcement-coming-on-june-14.aspx/) vs May 28, 2018 for the so-called C-M rumor (https://leicarumors.com/2018/05/28/new-leica-mirrorless-camera-to-be-announced-in-june-leica-c-m.aspx/). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. I saw that too, so maybe Rumors just made a mistake by putting the earlier url/story under the C-M title?

lct Posted June 6, 2018 Share #217 Posted June 6, 2018 I thought the earlier url was dated April 2, 2018 but i may be wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted June 6, 2018 Share #218 Posted June 6, 2018 right, it is. But the TITLE of the link to that story is the title that earlier announced the "C-M". Follow the "portal" link above and that's the title. but when you actually click on the link that says it's about the C-M, it's really the earlier April story about lenses. initially, I just thought Rumors was trying to walk back its story about a new camera. But as I think about it (thanks to you), I'm wondering whether Rumors just made a mistake with the link in its new listing, by linking it to the earlier lens story. ....at least I hope so. Because I really, really, really want a C-M... even if it's just a cigarette lighter! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onasj Posted June 6, 2018 Share #219 Posted June 6, 2018 My guess is Peter just made a URL error. The original C-M story is still in the main digest (one page back), and clicking on that story still pulls up the same article: https://leicarumors.com/2018/05/28/new-leica-mirrorless-camera-to-be-announced-in-june-leica-c-m.aspx/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
