Leica New Head Office Opens plus new releases

The new Leica park is now open, with the official opening this weekend.  Leica can now bring most of the manufacturing together in one spot for there German operations.  On site there is a hotel and even a museum so you can stay there, drop your Leica off for a service then have a tour of the factory and a look around the museum.

We had the watch announcement and the rumours were of two cameras also to be announced.  One was announced, the Leica C Lux, a rather well specified compact.  Its based on the Panasonic but with a Leica manufactured lens and Leica firmware.

The other rumour was of a full frame mirrorless, a camera to partner the Leica SL.  This has not yet emerged but I am hopeful it will be announced soon.
