The next announcement from Leica is rumored to be for the new Noctilux M 35mm f/1.2 lens in January 2026. Stay tuned for updates.

내년 1월에 녹티 35.2 가 등장할 것이라는 루머가 있습니다.

50 녹티야 워낙 역사가 깊은 렌즈인데,, 35미리라니,,

새로운 녀석의 등장이 기대가 되네요 ^^

Leica is rumored to announce a new SL camera based on the Panasonic S1RII (44.3MP). The new SL model will be positioned between the current Leica SL3 (60MP) and the Leica SL2-S (24MP). Here is what we know so far:

  • 44.3MP sensor (based on the Panasinic S1RII)
  • Improved AF (better than the SL3-S)
  • Video capabilities could be lower than those of other SL3 models
  • Rumored to be announced around May 2026

The Panasonic S1RII was announced in February 2025 – here is the camera’s coverage at PhotoRumors:

4천만화소대라면 새로운 센서의 도입인데..

SL 과 SL-S 사이에 SL-R 이런식으로 라인업이 추가되는 걸까요?

일단 6천만과 2천4백만 사이에 포지셔닝할 것으로 보이고

AF 개선에 영상기능은 SL3 보다는 낮게 포지셔닝한다는데.. 일단 기다려 봅니다..ㅎㅎ

Mr. Ding will soon release a new Contax 28mm f/2.8 G28 non-destructive lens conversion kit for Leica M-mount. It’s worth noting that, unlike the G35 and G45 conversion kits (the G35 kit is already sold out), the new G28 kit will be made of aluminum, making it much lighter. Here are the first pictures of the new G28 conversion kit:

이미 수년전부터 펀리더와 Mr. Ding 의 협업으로 콘탁스 G35, G45 렌즈의 컨버전 키트가 개발되었고

어쩌면 G28 렌즈 컨버전키트의 탄생은 예정되었었는지도 모르겠습니다.

35, 45 렌즈 컨버전 키트도 인기가 많았고, G28 렌즈 컨버전키트도 그럴 것 같네요.

기존 키트의 만듬새는 꽤 괜찮았었는데,, 가격만 훌륭하면 더 좋겠습니다..ㅎ

The latest rumors suggest that the silver Noctilux-M 1:0.95/50 ASPH lens will be discontinued soon. The lens is currently in stock at only a few retailers, and it is out of stock at the official Leica website:

The Noctilux-M 1:0.95/50 ASPH silver version lens (No. 11667) was introduced in 2010. Here are the lens key features:

  • Fastest production aspherical lens in the world: f/0.95
  • 8 elements in 5 groups, two aspherical elements, floating element design
  • Extremely shallow depth of field and dreamy bokeh wide open
  • Close focus: 1 meter
  • Weight: ~700 g (heavier than the black paint version)
  • Filter thread: 60 mm
  • Finish: Silver anodized aluminum (not chrome-plated brass like older lenses)
  • Current retail price: ≈ $14,225 USD new (Leica list price)

라이카에서 가장 밝은 렌즈인 F 0.95 녹티 렌즈 중에서 실버 렌즈군이 곧 단종이라는 군요.

아직 확정은 아니지만, 라이카 공식 홈에서는 단종됐고,

일반 셀러에서 재고들이 판매되고 나면 단종 수순을 밟을 듯 합니다.

Back in October, Pixii was teasing a new camera with a Leica M-mount. Now the company clarified that a new model will not be announced any time soon, and their next cameras will probably be released in the summer of 2026:

While preparing the FAQ for our development project, it struck me how consistently we’ve had managed to release a new camera model every single year since 2020. As a great admirer of the Cupertino company, I had to wonder: had our clockwork cadence already made us the Apple of Photography? Almost… In fact, this year, exceptionally we will not release a new modelPixii Max has been such a transformational camera for Pixii, perfecting our modern rangefinder design. We are delighted to offer our family cameras to photographers around the world, giving you the option to start with the format you want: full-frame or APS-C.

Now, inventing the future takes time. We want to do the right thing. Make sure we see the future with our own eyes, staying true to the Pixii DNA: no pixels obscuring your vision, no blind camera either. The market is already full of them, no need to add another one. How much time will it take? Probably around next Summer. Inventing is one thing and we are getting closer. But producing the future is another undertaking—one we need to prepare for at the scale we believe the new model will demand.

Some of the Pixii cameras are currently on sale for Black Friday:

픽시 카메라는 아직 존재하는군요..?! 우리나라에서는 정말 보기 힘든데..

유럽쪽에는 그래도 수요가 있나 싶습니다.

내년 여름에 신제품을 출시하려나 본데.. 기사의 핵심은 블프 세일? 같습니다.ㅋ

크롭 사이즈 구형 카메라를 $3,000 정도에 정리하려는…ㅋ

아직 존재하는게 신기하기는 한데.. 라이카 가격이 한없이 상승하니,

터무니 없어 보였던 픽시 카메라 가격이 현실적인 것 같아 보이기 까지 하네요.

빨리 가격을 낮추던지,,, 풀프 하이엔드로 가던지,, 갈 길 정해야겠죠~

Thypoch is teasing a new Eureka lens announcement for Monday:

최근 타이포크 렌즈가 꽤 주목을 많이 받았죠.

그 타이포크에서 월요일에 새로운 유레카 렌즈가 공개되는 듯 합니다.

일단 기다려보죠…ㅋ

A week ago, I expressed concern about whether the rumored Leica Q3 Monochrom camera would be released in the US after the M EV1  fiasco.

I can now confirm that the new Leica Q3 Monochrom camera with a 28mm lens will be officially announced this Thursday (November 20th) and will be available in the United States.

Leica will also announce new accessories for the Q3 Monochrom.

얼마전 Q3 모노크롬이 M-EV1 에 이어서 곧 출시될 것 같다는 소식을 전했었는데요.

내일 아마도 출시될 것 같다는 소식이네요. 일단 미국에서 공개될 것 같은..

Q3 28 모노크롬이 잘되면 Q3 43 모노크롬도 아마 내놓겠죠..? ㅎㅎㅎ

Update: the new Contax Planar 35/2 T* non-destructive lens conversion kit 2.0 for Leica M-mount is now available for order on this page.

The new conversion kit 2.0 will soon be listed for sale at:

Additional information:

나온다는 소식이 전해지자마자 출시되어버리네요 ㅎㅎ

45미리 컨버전 킷 보다는 좀 더 저렴해진 느낌입니다.

저는 45대비 35미리도 만족스러웠는데,, 상대적으로 저렴해서 그런건가..

여튼 컨버전에 관심있는 분들께는 좋은 소식이네요..^^

Here is the teaser for the new Contax Planar 35/2 T* non-destructive lens conversion kit 2.0 for Leica M-mount:

펀리더에서 콘탁스 RF 렌즈들의 컨버전 키트를 내놓았었죠.

45미리 컨버전 키트가 유명하긴 한데 사실 35미리가 최초였고 이번에 두번째 버전이 나오나 봅니다.

이번 키트가 잘되면 45미리도 두번째 버전이 나오겠군요.

mr. ding 스튜디오가 컨버전 키트도 만들지만 렌즈도 꽤 잘 만들더군요.

앞으로 주목해 볼 만 할 것 같습니다.

SL3 리포터 에디션이 곧 나오나 보네요. 레드닷은 빠졌고, 올리브 그린 컬러로..

가격은 기존 모델보다는 살짝 높을테고.. 역시나 리포터 모델들 좋아하는 분들께는 좋은 선택이 되겠네요.

외관 변경 에디션 출시라서 큰 관심은 없지만.. 그래도 차곡차곡 나오니 일단 계속 주목해봅니다.
