(High credibility rumor) The new Leica mirrorless non-rangefinder camera
could be named “Leica SL”!
"The Taiwan government agency NCC and the Russian agency Novacert registered
a new Leica camera which has yet not been announced. The Taiwan government
requires all new Wifi capable devices to be registered before they go on
sale.
The new Leica camera name is “Leica SL“. This is highly likely going to be
the name of Leica’s first Full Frame (non-rangefinder) mirrorles system
camera! The camera will be announced in October. And if you wonder why Leica
di chose the “SL” appendix than the answer is that one:
Our sources told us the new Leica camera will have a design inspired by the
“Leicaflex SL” system (camera here on eBay). The Leicaflex was a camera
with mirror but the new Leica SL will simply be a mirrorless camera with EVF
in the middle of the body."
