A lens we've been telling you about for a long time now, does exist. We've been hearing rumblings lately, and pictures exist from it - which is leading us to believe that this upcoming Photokina in September will be the time it gets released. Pictured above and courtesy of is Stefan Daniel holding a special edition, in stainless steel, Leica M-A film camera with the Summilux-M 28mm ASPH. Read more below for full photo!

The new Novoflex LEM/VIS II adapter set for Leica M (Type 240 is now available in the U.S.A. B&H has it listed for $380 USD and ships in 7-14 business days. The LEM/VIS II is both an adapter and extension tube set in one: it allows using Visoflex specific lenses on the Leica M without the reflex housing (focusing up to infinity) and can also be used for macro photography. By combining the extensions (3 inner rings, 10mm each) you can achieve magnifications between 0.28:1 – 0.84:1.

In some of the press materials surrounding the introduction of the new Leica T (Type 701), there's one shot of the T amongst many M lenses, showing compatibility through the use of the M-Adapter T. What's interesting to note is the 35mm lens pictured... It's not the current Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens we all know and love! Rather, it appears to be a new version - leaked by Leica themselves. Later versions of this image show the current lens. We suspect this long-awaited update might be a new APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens!
