Leica S2 - 13 photos of the new system

Leica was expected to stun the world tonight with a special press conference at Photokina in Cologne, Germany. Of course, the release was leaked online a few hours before the press briefing. However, BJP was able to see the S2 in an exclusive briefing held in London last month. Here are 13 pictures of the new system with its lenses.

Will the Leica S2 come out in the summer or in September? Both!

Since its announcement in September last year, the Leica S2 flagship camera - a 37.5 million pixel portable mastodon - has been the subject of countless rumours. At some point, it was thought that the project was doomed from the start or that delays would affect the ultimate release of the camera. Last year, when Leica presented the camera to the press, a summer 2009 release was announced. But, the appearance of an ad in the Norwegian photography magazine Fotografi has sparked rumours of delays, as the ad says the camera will only be released in September.

A quick check online or in a good almanac should put photographers' fears to rest: the last day of summer is 21 September.
