A couple of weeks ago Digicameinfo reported the registration of the name “Leica T type 701” in Taiwan. This is likely a new interchangeable and mirrorless system. According to Leicarumors the camera will be launched in April and feature an APS-C sensor.
As far as we know the prime lenses will be made by Leica in Germany. The camera body and the zooms will be made by Panasonic (and sold with Leica name).
