Which forum member mentioned Zenit. earlier this week. Give that man a prize.

 

Rangefinder M-Mount Camera made by Zenit

That's a surprise: In cooperation with Leica, Krasnogorsky Zavod from Zenit designed a new digital rangefinder camera technically based on the Leica M (Typ 240).

All very anticlimactic so far. No meat and potatoes. An App, some updates, a knock-off M240 and a collaboration. Let's hope they held something back!!!--lt

 

 

 

The 'collaborations' are far from anticlimactic; they are very significant developments in Leica's digital camera/lens marketing strategy and 'future proofing'  … and would have required considerable negotiation to achieve

Actually the Zenit M is a Leica M (Typ 240), the appearance of which was slightly modified by Leica following Shvabe / KMZ guidelines and which is manufactured by Leica and their contractors ('Made in Germany') on behalf of Shvabe / KMZ, proudly displaying 'Designed in Krasnogorsk, Russia' and bundled with a Zenitar 35mm f/1 in M mount, a lens designed and manufactured by KMZ following Leica standards (so they say).
