You may recall, almost exactly two years ago - TA Associates acquired CMOSIS - the company that makes the sensor in the Leica M (Type 240). The news today is that AMS has now completed the acquisition of CMOSIS. Read more below for details!

A camera we've been telling you about for a while - which was recently brought up again - is here. More or less, anyway. Today Leica Camera has announced the Leica M (Type 262) camera. Read more below for details!

We've been saying for quite a while (since May, actually) that a new breed of M camera was coming - information that we received from a pretty credible source. However, we haven't been able to get any new information or further confirmation for a while now. When the Leica SL (Type 601) was introduced, it had us second-guessing if that wasn't it... But we don't think so. This new registration of a Leica M (Type 262) camera is renewing our faith in this original report that a new M camera is still coming.

A Hands-On Review of the new Leica SL (Type 601) from the Leica Store Wien Team (Vienna, Austria). They checked out the photo features of the new 24MP CMOS Leica SL and visited some of the best locations in and around Vienna and got some stunning results. The images you see are post-processed in Adobe Lightroom 6 with only the Tone Curve adjusted. No other editing has been done. Check out the video below!
