Re: Future of the R system
I use the R system since my 19 years old when I start to use my phater sencond hands R3.
Now I still use the R3 but only in some ocasions because my most use body now is the R8.
Im my opinion the next generation of R cameras cam be made whit full frame sensor whit 16MP or more and focus comfirm. cam be very usefull too.
I not want AF if I want one body whit that I buy one Nikon or Canon but is very important for Leica to catch new users for the R system so focus confirmation is important for that pourpose.The lenses nead some updates because the actual range is not completed they nead some new prime lemses like new 28mm ,135mm and one new 50mm/f2 Asph is wellcome too.The 135mm is no longer in Leica cataloge at some time since 135mm/f2.8 is gone no more 135mm avaliable.The summicron 50mm is from the mid´s 70 is still one good lenses but one update whit Asph. lenses elements cam me made for keep this lenses actual and give even better perfomance ,but keep the actual size and price(not one easy task I agree) is important.In zoom range I love the actual 21-35 and 28-90 but the last one is so expensive that I like to mix one to my R gear but is completed out of my budget and I think of most other leica shooters.So one 28-90 more affordable is VERY wellcome and one new zoom for repalce the 80-200 is necessary since the 28-90 is on the market is more usefull one 90-280 they reaplace the actual 70-180 and at the same time the 105-280.
O.k the 70-180 is one great lenses and make one 90-280 cam be not tech. possible but is my opinion.
I would like to see one zoom like the actual 35-70 the entry price level in Leica lenses whit one more F stop like f2.8.
Just my to cents.
Best,
