  1. Considering the international importance of Photokina, we can safely assume that Leica will introduce some more new items in addition to the ones introduced in Berlin on May 10. Consistent rumors are that we'll see a Leica M10 and a mirror-less, interchangeable lens camera system with its own line of lenses and the ability to use the former Leica R lenses as an answer to the previous Leica SLR owners for a digital camera to use their lenses on.
