Leica R-mount is back from the dead thanks to new lenses from Meyer Optik Gorlitz

Meyer Optik Gorlitz lens range against a white backdrop.

Today is a day I never thought I would see, the Leica R-Mount which saw the rise of such amazing cameras from the German luxury brand such as the Leica R4 and the amazing Leica R8 and R9 is now back. Discontinued in 2009, the mount has arisen from the ashes like the phoenix thanks to another German lens manufacturer. Meyer Optik Gorlitz has announced that all of its previously released lenses, except for the Biotar 75 II, are now available with a native R-mount…I honestly can't believe I am hearing that right!
