Light Hunter - RIP 2010
I think it's clear to anyone who has read the current L-Camera Newsletter the 09/09/09 announcement will be about the S2.
It's the product Leica is betting the farm on not an M9.

May contain traces of nut
My M5 has a tulip inside.

Why should they announce the S2 a second time? The first announcement was just before photokina 2008. The specs are published, the price is published, what new could it be regarding the S2?

That it's available.
Ok. If THAT is revolutionary?

The are starting to sell the sizzle to get you to buy the steak.
It is called advertizing and product placement...

But that only works if i am - at least - slightly interested in a product. Medium Format Digital Camera? Me? No sir!

As Carl Sagan said "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
I accept this as extraordinary evidence. I have just liquidated my tulip bulb futures to raise funds for an M9.
These are not shots of an M8.
and they are in this official Leica video

Is it? Your reading skills must be vastly superior to mine
From the newsletter:
To me "products" means more than one - there will be three products introduce a little bird tells me- and an S2 is hardly something for a "novice" Besides, it was introduced at the Photokina 2008, so that one is out of the picture as far as introductions go. Although I do expect an announcement about when it will be in the shops exactly.

Well-known

Give this a look, I now see an M9.

Hi Roland
Hi Roland
Unfortunately no, nothing like the nikons, it's the 6-bit ID detection, or no detection, exif just puts f1 in aperture field.

This one has an "Auto" setting. Maybe a "Manual" submenu, too ?

ahh, I see
ahh, I see
I have no idea about > 8.2, but the 8 and 8.2 have the same firmware and the wording is "Lens detection" with on/off parameters.
No idea what this new camera's "Auto" means.
I doubt they will have a manual table, they have so much invested in this 6-bit detection scheme.

I'm still guessing they'll use this as FF platform for other lenses, too, including R lenses. The short registration distance calls for it, and it would indeed be a revolution, if you could use Canon and Nikon lenses on that body.

I don't know
I don't know
With the discontinuation of future R platform products, I think they'll leave 3rd party lens adoption to others, and try to move out some new M lenses, especially those new wide fast luxes, and those 2.5 Summarits. But I'm not sure, we'll see!

To anyone who has read anything else, and looked at the choice of release date, it is even more clear that it's not.
Cheers,
