Leica has a mid-sized stand in a corner of Hall 2.1, featuring the company’s M and S series products as well as its compact cameras. New products of note include the Leica M9 Titanium, displayed under glass with a matching Summicron Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. lens and accessories, an all-black version of the Leica X1, and the D-Lux 5 and V-Lux 2 compacts co-developed with Panasonic. Samples of all of these - excluding the M9 Titanium - are provided for people to try out. Visitors to the stand also have the chance of getting some hands-on time with current M series and S system cameras and lenses. In the back of the booth there is a gallery of large prints of photos taken by Leica photographers.

I can't believe that Leica is not unveiling a digital SLR for the Leitz R lenses at this Photokina.

A Summicron would be F2, and an f1.4 would be a Summilux, so there is an error in the write-up above.

A Titanium M9 will raise the price considerably. It is unfortunate many of the new Leicas end up on the shelves of collectors. Possibly Leica might one day find a way to make a camera for shooters again by making them more affordable.
