Sadly, their most recent note to TechRadar came without finger food, but instead simply read:

“A portrait! What could be more simple and more complex, more obvious and more profound.”

This time around we won’t speculate as to what the note is hinting towards (although some believe it’s a 75mm portrait lens that’s been in production for some time) but feel free to deliberate away in the comments down below.
