Leica Rumors now says the next M will be called the M12 rather than an M11-R. It's expected in early 2027 and reportedly already in production. It would keep the M11's 60MP sensor and processor, not the Gpixel sensor rumored earlier, and add a larger rear screen, with the buttons moved to the right side like the SL3-P and Q3.
Leica Rumors now hears the Metal Gray models may arrive a few weeks apart, starting with the M11-P at the end of May or early June.
Leica Rumors says the M11-P, Q3, D-Lux 8 and APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 are getting a Metal Gray finish, announced the week of June 15.
Leica Rumors says the Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 will cost €9,000 in Europe, with an announcement on January 29.
Leica Rumors has leaked pictures, specs and pricing for the Q3 Monochrom: a 60MP monochrome sensor with triple resolution, the Summilux 28mm f/1.7, 8K video and a US price of $7,790.
Leica Rumors has the first leaked pictures of the SL3 Reporter: aramid fabric armor, no red dot, the same specs as the regular SL3, and a US price around $8,000.
Leica Rumors describes the M EV1 as a Leica Q with an M-mount: a 60MP sensor, the Maestro III processor and 64GB of internal memory, announced around October 23 at €7,950. The US price could top $10,000 because of tariffs.
Leica Rumors' latest roundup expects an SL3 "Reporter" edition later this year, in time for the holidays.
Leica Rumors now puts the Q3 Monochrom on October 16 and the M EV1 on October 23.
Leica Rumors says a new Q3 Monochrom with the 28mm lens will be announced in October.
Leica Rumors says the Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 could be announced as early as July.
