Leica Camra AG, Solms,
Germany made the following announcements today:
NEW: Leica S lenses with central shutter
From October 2012 on Leica
Camera will gradually expand the product range for the Leica S medium format
system with five new central shutter lenses.
The new models are the Leica
Elmarit-S 30 mm f/2.8 ASPH. and Leica Summarit-S 35 mm f/2.5 ASPH. wide-angle lenses,
the Leica Summarit-S 70 mm f/2.5 ASPH. standard lens, the Leica
APO-Macro-Summarit-S 120 mm f/2.5 tele-macro lens and the Leica
APO-Tele-Elmar-S 180 mm f/3.5 telephoto lens, all of which will also be
available in a CS version with a central shutter.
Designed and constructed
exclusively by Leica, the central shutter available for all S lenses is not
only especially compact and efficient, but also has a guaranteed service life
of at least 100,000 shutter cycles, making it extremely reliable. First and
foremost in the development of all products is the consistent dedication to
creating tools to fulfill the stringent demands of professional users of the
Leica S medium format system in their everyday photographic work.
The objective we pursue with
the Leica S-System is to provide absolutely reliable equipment that guarantees
extreme precision and a particularly long operational lifespan.
NEW: Leica Case
The new system case will be
available as of June 2012.
The Leica Case S is the
professional and elegant way to store and transport the Leica S-System safely.
The Leica Case S provides
space for following products:
_ 1x Leica S-Camera Body
_ 1x Leica Multifunction
Handgrip S
_ 1x Leica Summarit-S 35mm

NEW: Leica S-Adapter H for Hasselblad
Leica S-Adapters H allows all
the Hasselblad H-system lenses to be mounted on a Leica S2 camera body.
Leica Camera presents a new
accessory for the Leica S medium-format system: the Leica S-Adapter H. This
adapter allows all the Hasselblad H-system lenses to be mounted on a Leica S2
camera body. All lens functions, such as autofocus, central shutter control and
automatic diaphragm are retained. The smart electronics of the adapter
facilitate the complete integration of the lenses into the Leica S-System.
Users of the Hasselblad
H-system also benefit from the new adapter. The versatility of Hasselblad H
lenses is expanded considerably when they are used in combination with an S2.
For instance, thanks to the dual shutter system of the Leica S2, H lenses can
be now used with the focal plane shutter at speeds of up to 1/4000th of a
second. In combination with the Leica MAESTRO high-performance image processor,
the camera’s image sensor enables perfect, noise-free exposures
up to ISO 1250.
This latest S2/S2-P firmware
update (FW 1.0.3.3) has been specially developed for the Leica S-Adapter H and
ensures optimum functionality of the adapter.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it
