Leica has announced the new Leica T Typ 701 mirrorless camera, with a price tag at $1,850.00. Leica T features a 16MP APS-C sensor. Two lenses – an 18-56mm F3.5-5.6 and a 35mm equivalent 23mm F2 prime have been announced alongside the camera – with the promise of an 11-23mm F3.5-4.5 wide-angle zoom and 55-135mm F3.5-4.5 telezoom to follow. The camera is milled from a solid billet of aluminum and features a touch screen that the company says uses a user-friendly operating concept. An optional electronic viewfinder (with built-in GPS) provides an alternative to the 3.7″ LCD, while an adapter for M lenses, that can read the 6-bit encoding, is also available.
