WARNING: THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL!

LUGers,

I heard this afternoon, that Leica is coming back
with 3 lenses in LTM, for the first time since 1964.

35/1,4 ASPH, 50/1,4 and 50/2.

The prices seem to be close to the bayonet versions.

Is this a joke ?
My source is normally reliable, but I don't know about his own source.

If it's true, it may be a nice move.
To challenge Konica, Cosina and Minolta on their own ground
instead of waiting in Solms Castle.
