Leica T (Typ 701) is rumored to be revealed by the renowned German camera and optics manufacturer in April and, so far, we don't have too much information regarding this model.

In a recent article on his blog, Steve Huff posted what appears to be the first Leica T photos taken from the instruction manual of the camera. These photos look more fake than real, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see how fake they are after the camera is officially revealed.

For those of you who don't know the details, Leica is working with Panasonic on developing its first mirrorless camera, but it seems that it will not adopt the MFT (Micro Four Thirds) mount. Instead, the rumor mill states that the camera will sport Leica's own mount, placing it among high-end mirrorless models.

The camera and zoom lenses will be made by Panasonic, but the prime lenses will be manufactured in Germany by Leica.
