Interesting Leica product announcements today ...

1. Leica M Monochrom, with 18 MP black and white full frame sensor. No
need for a Bayer pattern, no AA filter, no interpolation. Low noise
up to ISO 10,000.
Hmmm.... I can see already plans for a Photoshop add-on tool to merge together
three images taken with R,G,B filters. Kinda like a modern autochrome @ 10000.
2. Leica Summicron 50mm f/2 ASPH. The first 50mm Summicron with an
aspherical element. The previous (pre-ASPH) model was one of the
sharpest lenses ever made. This one will be even better.
Yummy! Pity the price...
