Few hours ago Leica announced three new limited production M lens variants:

• the previously rumored Leica Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH silver lens
• the Leica Summaron-M 28mm f/5.6 matte black paint (released before as a Limited Edition in Japan)
• the Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH black chrome lens

The special series of the three lenses are distinguished by unique design highlights and are being offered in a limited number of examples. The performance and technical specifications of the lenses are otherwise identical to those of the serial production products.
