Leica SL 14-24mm f2.8 & Summicron-21mm f2 Pre-Order:
Good news for photographers using the SL system or any L mount camera for that matter :). Leica has just announced the Summicron-SL 21mm f2 ASPH, and the Super-Vario-Elmarit-SL 14-24mm f2.8 ASPH for the SL system. They are both available for pre-order as of now. The link is below:

I’m a prime kind of guy, so that 21mm is looking quite good to me right now :). However, that zoom would definitely come in handy, especially with its widest focal length being 14mm. Let me know what you think. Check out below, if you want some more info on the two new lenses:
