The Leica S2 DSLR: Unofficially Announced

37 Megapixels.  Yeah, 37.  In a move certain to excite Clerks fans, Leica has “unofficially” announced their S2 medium-format DSLR camera.  An advertisement for the S2 from an upcoming edition of Professional Photographer has been leaked to the web and buzzed around the blogosphere today.  While the S2 is a medium-format camera, Leica has packed the 35mm sensor and other internals into a smaller-form frame, bringing it down to size with other DSLRs.  In addition to the S2 body, Leica will release 9 lenses for this model, ranging in price and utility.  No word on the price just yet, but it is likely that it’ll cost even more than the dough Kevin Smith spent on the production of Clerks… [flickr scan via gizmodo]
