Leica surprises later today

Leica will announce a range of new products this afternoon in Berlin. At 3 pm Central European Time we will hear about a new camera and new lenses, probably something in between the current X and M ranges. From what I hear this will be an important launch and crucial to the future of Leica. More later. 

Update 8 am, April 24: A loud cry of “Scheiße!” in Wetzlar, no doubt, as the entire web site for the new T system went live last night for a brief moment, but not too brief for at least one news source to pinch all the screen shots. So now I know more or less everything about the new camera. Nevertheless, I am going to respect Leica’s embargo until 15.00 CET today.
