      M12 wishlist

      By Smudgerer · Posted

      Sort of agree in main............There's really too much "stuff" in too many cameras these days and I find that complicated tools get in the way of instinctive work. It's not going to happen but I wish Leica would acknowledge this and take a step backwards with it's digital M's, they can do that...like what they did with the creation of the MD series of cameras even though they are something of a blind alleyway. I would love to have the M10-P revisited with a better sensor, still around the 24-36 mp mark which I know is the sweet-spot for sensors, and maybe even with the M11's battery / base that seems to have been almost a universal positive move.......but instead Leica is intent it seems on trying to pack 10 pounds of electronic shit into a 4 pound bag which is probably at the root of many operational problems for some owners. It's quite obvious that the M11's processor isn't really up to the too many tasks it's been given, having to pull a camera's battery to re-set an over-loaded processor after a freeze is pure BS......And now everyone in the higher M / MP universe is begging for IBIS to be crammed into the bag too because of the "blurring" mainly caused by the +60 mp's, maybe Leica will find a way to do that, maybe not but to me it's the digital tail wagging the dog, there's no end in all of that. KISS should be the maxim to guide the M line and not the over-complicated path it's treading now.

      What exciting lens am I missing?

      By costa43 · Posted

      I can only speak for myself but for me, the quintessential (and exciting) Leica lenses are the 35mm Summilux v2 pre asph and the 50mm Noctilux f1. A worthy mention goes to the Mandler fave, the 75mm Summilux. I've seen some lovely portraits with this lens and am tempted to pick one up even though it will see little use as I tend to shoot wide.

      Lens compression before purchasing

      By dpitt · Posted

      Very different characters IMO. The Elmar collapsible is a very good lens, not much distortion or 'character' even wide open. Ideal for outside and if you love architecture and such. The Summicron wide open is not as 'correct' but draws beautifully. At F2.0 it is sharp enough but can still be used as a portrait lens. When stopped down it reaches the same sharpness as the Elmar, but the character remains more pleasing to me. It is a very good lens for indoors and low light. IMO every Leica owner should own at least one Summicron, and this one is the cheapest option. So if it is your first Leica lens, or if you  have never tried a Summicron, I would very much recommend to choose this one.

      Best M10 Strap

      By evikne · Posted

      I like the original one too, if only it hadn't slipped off the shoulder all the time. A small anti-slip shoulder pad would probably do the trick.
