There's only one remotely interesting thing there, and it has an advance lever.

Finally. And I'm glad to see it, just bring down the price a bit.

Many interesting items... but none that I'll be buying.

The Leica X is what Fuji's X100T should have been.
No, wait - I got that the wrong way round. 't'would have been interesting with an eye-level finder.

That Summicron S 100/2 looks interesting, also the Summarit 35/2.4 looks quite tiny.

I don't know that the 2.4 lineup offers a lot to people who already have those focal lengths covered, but for new users they could be very interesting . . . Depending upon price of course.

I doubt very much the prices will come down; they have to pay for the free roll of Tri-X with the M-A somehow!

Those summarits do look tastey, and expensive.
Unsurprisingly the new D-Lux is virtually Identical to the new Lumix GM5

Shaken, so blurred
I think there's some wonderment and beauty here.
The vocal minority who have self-identified as so weak-minded as to be incapable of not looking at a screen they profess to hate and so incapable as to be unable to tape over that screen have now been given what they asked for. At a price both predicitble and predicted
Solms provides. To those inclined to pay.

Big disappointment: no upgrade of the Leica M-E.

Nothing really interesting. The M edition 60 is too limited as a camera for me. I'm sure others will disagree, but I like to be able to use every body I have for work if the time comes, and I can't work without previewing results.
Some silver lenses, always preferred black anyways....

I think the new 90mm Summarit is significant here because of 0.7m close focus distance. 1.5 stops faster than the Macro-Elmar, with the same native close focus...

Shoot.
No black paint M-A?

Yes, finally more stuff! Everything I’ve ever wanted was more stuff that does marginally better than all the other stuff that’s out there.
