On a big event in Paris, France, Leica have just announced two new products: the Leica M9-P and the Super-Elmar-M 21mm f/3.4.

The Leica M9-P is essentially an M9 with the looks of an MP, plus a scratch-resistant sapphire glass display cover. It will come in both chrome and black paint. More info in the L-Camera Blog.

The Super-Elmar-M 21mm f/3.4 is a small and light wide-angle lens ideally suited for landscape and architectural photography. It replaces the discontinued Elmarit-M 21mm f/2.8. More info in the L-Camera Blog.

While my enthusiasm about the new Super-Elmar is moderate, I find the Leica M9-P to be absolutely stunning and gorgeous. Ultimately, I think this is what an M should look like!
