From Leica's Twitter feed this morning:

Hmm. What could it be?

[jaapv]

Of course! This has been such a subtle game of incremental and viral marketing that it is virtually certain that there is still one big splash to come.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

M9.2 ? *giggle*

[earleygallery]

Do they realise how much server space they are using up here by creating so much activity with all of this rumour mongering?! I hope the Mods are telling them off!!

[exile]

More M8 upgrades????

(not likely)

Summilux-M 28mm F/1.4 ?

It's the accessory manual winder for the M8/9. When used in discreet mode, the accessory winder prevents the shutter button from lifting after a shot - until the lever is re-cocked. Comes with your choice of re-cock sound sampled from historic Leica film models.

Jaap, you are kidding. Big splash is going to be the new CEO???

a revised 75/1.4...

[stunsworth]

It's difficult to see what they'd introduce and not have put in the brochure. I would have thought lenses since none have been leaked so far, but if that was the case I'd have expected to see them in the brochure. Sports optics maybe?

 

Then again it could be the X1 if they're aiming the twitter message at people who haven't seen the brochure, and were expecting just the M9.

I have absolutely no idea what. But there must be something

[dpattinson]

Or, it could be that the brochure is a deliberate leak - so the extras are not in there.

Perhaps they are more subtle than we think

[tashley]

It'll be video of some kind.

Yup, it's Frank...

[topoxforddoc]

Maybe it'll be the R10!!!!!!

An Apple/Leica device?

I think Steve is right, it's the X1 most likely. Either that or accessory tape which is the right shade to cover the red dot on the steel grey M9.

[Mauribix]

A silver/chrome M9?

[mooky]

Leica Cinema lenses???????

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[kidigital]

I'd certainly be thrilled with an updated 75lux ... as someone speculated earlier. Wishful thinking for the shallow depth of field fans like me, but it'd be great to see a 75/1.2.
