Leica builds its own sensor, Viltrox challenges Sony's 55mm crown
From the Editor
Viltrox dropped so much glass today it practically counts as a product event — but don't let the lens flood bury the real story. Leica quietly announced they're building their own custom sensors with Gpixel, which is the kind of move that takes years to matter and then suddenly matters a lot. Slow day on drama, big day for anyone who cares about where the market is actually heading.
