With Leica’s pre-Photokina announcements of new lenses, the M8.2 and D-Lux4 it was natural to think that this wouldbe then end. The rumours of a successor to the R9 (i.e., the R10) or may be even a lower-cost version of the M-series seemed to be just that, rumours.
But wait, I received this in my e-mail:
There are some hints and rumors that Leica has “one more thing” for this Photokina. Ronald and I (and some other forum members) got invitations to an event in Cologne on Monday evening – photokina eve. The event is called (very lyrical):
The Future of Memories
After some calls, Leica agreed that we start a kind of live transmission here in the forum: We’ll have cameras, laptop and hopefully a good internet connection with us and will keep you up-to-date.
OK guys, no other appointments for Monday evening (7 pm CEST, 6 pm GMT), put enough beer in the freezer, get some potato chips and gather in front of you computer screens – we are on the road for you 😉
We’ll create a new thread in this special forum in which we’ll start reporting on Monday evening (22th September 6pm CEST). As soon as we have official informations we’ll publish them in our photokina special.
