French camera startup Pixii today announced the Pixii Max, a new 24.5-megapixel full-frame digital rangefinder camera that promises to be a "seamless upgrade" for current Pixii owners.

Funleader has a new Contax G45 F2 to Leica M Conversion, and it's available for pre-order now.

Alongside great image and build quality, one of the most compelling aspects of using a Leica M digital camera is their access to such a diverse library of amazing lenses. However, some of these lenses, vintage and modern alike, lack electronic communication with the camera, leading to photographers manually tracking important metadata like lens selection and focal length. Henley Bailey of Akara Labs has a clever and affordable solution to this problem.

Chinese lens maker Thypoch, known for its Simera 28mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 lenses, has announced its second lens series: Eureka. The inaugural lens in the series is the Eureka 50mm f/2 prime lens for Leica M-mount cameras.

Alongside the Leica M11-P camera, Leica has announced a new generation of the Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH. wide-angle prime lens.

Thypoch is a brand new manual lens manufacturer that is debuting with the Simera 35mm and 28mm f/1.4 prime lenses for Leica M-mount.

Shoten has announced a pair of M-mount rangefinder adapters. The R50 series adapters, the M42-LM R50 and the PK-LM R50, are helicoid mount adapters that convert 50mm prime lenses for M42 and K mount into rangefinder-coupled lenses for M-mount cameras.

Funleader's latest lens is the Brightin Star XSLIM-M 28mm f/2.8 for Leica M-mount and it brings a distinctly vintage look to an optic that is just 9.9 millimeters thick.

Venus Optics has announced the Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D LM lens for Leica M mount users. The manual focus lens includes rangefinder coupling and promises excellent results for landscape, architecture, interior, street, and astrophotography.

If there is one thing that can be said about DJI's cinema camera endeavors, it's that they are unique. The Ronin 4D was already a major shift from traditional systems, and now the Ronin 4D Flex is yet another play on the design.

7Artisans has announced a new large-aperture prime lens for the Leica M Mount, the M35mm f/2 Mark II, an updated model of its previous 35mm f/2 for Leica rangefinders that has since been discontinued.

Leica has announced that it has redesigned the Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens in several ways to make what it says is one of the most versatile M lenses even more flexible.

Techart has announced a redesigned M-Mount to E-Mount autofocus adapter that it says is more compact and quieter than its previous model, and the second-generation LM-EA9 uses four smaller stepper motors instead of the single large motor of the previous generation.

TTArtisan's latest M-mount to E-mount adapter has a focal length dial that transmits focal length info to the camera for lenses with no electronic contacts.

MS Optics has added the Sonnetair 50mm f/1.3 to its lens catalog and like most of its lens designs, it has an old-school 60s vibe that screams a vintage look and buttery bokeh.

Leica has announced a limited-edition matte black version of its Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH lens that comes with an integrated lens hood. The company says that not only does it look good, but the paint is also designed to resist scratches.

Epson has revealed the designs for what would have been the successor to the R-D1s camera. The company says it was being developed in 2010 but was scrapped due to its shrinking digital camera market share.

Cosina has announced the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1 Aspherical lens for VM-mount, which is the fastest lens it has ever produced for full-frame.

Cosina has announced a new ultra-wide lens under its "Vintage Line" for Leica M-Mount: the 21mm f/3.5 Color Skopar Aspherical lens. It updates a 2019 design reminiscent of the 1950s to one more akin to the 1970s.

Epson released the R-D1s rangefinder in 2006 and sold it for three years before taking it off the market. Recently while organizing a warehouse, the company discovered 30 brand-new ones and rather than throwing them out, wants to offer them to fans.

Lens manufacturer Funleader has acquired 300 Contax 45mm f/2 lenses (originally for Contax G-Mount) and non-destructively converted them to Leica M-Mount to allow the original Carl Zeiss Planar T* optics to be used with modern Leica rangefinders.

Omnar is a new lens manufacturer based in the United Kingdom that recently teased that it was producing a new lens using a custom design and repurposed Canon AF-10 optical elements. The lens can now be pre-ordered and will begin shipping in December.

Two self-described rangefinder lens geeks -- Hamish Gill and Chris Andreyo -- have teamed up to create a new lens manufacturer, Omnar Lenses. The company's first product is the Omnar CN26-6, a 26mm f/6 fixed-aperture M-mount lens which is constructed using repurposed Canon AF-10 optical elements.

Cosina has announced the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 Heliar Classic lens for VM-mount that it says was designed in "pursuit of a classical image that modern lenses do not have." The optical design is intentionally imperfect to mimic a true vintage lens and show various aberrations.

Previously, we explored topics like which Micro Four Thirds system held up better over time, which line of Sony's full-frame mirrorless cameras is most popular, or which DSLR system held more of its value. This month, let's look at which Leica M-mount film gear is the fastest-moving off the shelves.

TTArtisan has announced a new Leica M-Mount rangefinder lens that, even upon close inspection, looks remarkably similar to a Leica optic. The company promises smooth transitions between objects and bokeh for a "dreamy picture" with ideal depth of field and background blur.

Voigtlander has announced the 28mm f/2 Ultron Vintage Line lens for Leica M-mount, combining a classic lens exterior with modern optics. The new lens will be available in three different colors.
