I am still getting conflicting reports on the rumored Leica M11-D and M11 black paint cameras


I am still getting conflicting reports on the rumored Leica M11-D and M11 black paint cameras. There are three different possibilities:

  1. Leica M11-D (not black paint) – to be announced in May
  2. Leica M11-D be black paint – to be announced in May
  3. Leica M11 black paint limited edition (not M11P) like the M10R black paint – to be announced later in 2024

New Leica digital camera model 2221 registered online, embargo date: May 16, 2024 (is that the rumored Leica M11-D Black Paint camera?)

Is this the first leaked picture of the upcoming/rumored Leica M11-D “Black Paint” camera?
