Tortuga

I wonder why people get so defensive about their M10Rs. Given their respective list prices, it is obvious that Leica would consider moving from the M10R to the M11 a “sidegrade“

Someone used < instead of <=

DarkTable doesn’t support the lens correction opcodes in the CL DNGs, for example.

I had the asymmetrical sharpness issue with an Elmarit ASPH (v. 1) in the M8 days. The front group had become slightly loose. I was told it was not totally uncommon. It was easily repaired.

If 1/2f is 60, 1/4f should be 125???

Almost everyone with an M11 seems to have an APO-Summicron 35mm. Anyone out there with a regular 35mm Summicron ASPH can share their experience?

Thanks, Joni. How often do you need exposure compensation with multi-field metering?

One question about this aperture priority auto ISO approach with multi-field metering: with the rangefinder, how do you do exposure compensation? What I mean is that with a manual approach and center weighted metering you evaluate the light and decide the exposure parameters, but with multi-field the camera evaluates the light, and you have no idea why it is choosing a certain exposure, so you can’t correct with exposure compensation. Say there is a light and a dark area in your picture, multi-field could expose for either or an average, so how can you judge the amount of compensation needed?

Worst review I’ve seen in a long time

60MP/24MP is only a 58% increase in linear resolution; 60MP/40MP is a 23% increase in linear resolution

On one side, the M has no competition. If the camera is the right camera for a user, there is no alternative except for a used M. Leica puts a lot of effort on the M camera line. On the other side, there is a lot of competition for the C-lux and D-lux cameras. Leica rebrands Panasonic cameras. They probably feel the can’t add sufficient value to make it worthwhile to develop their own camera. The L-mount APS-C cameras are somewhere in the middle. Only Leica knows if they are getting the expected return on investment, and if it makes sense to keep investing in them.

I don’t think there is a single answer. I see your point of view, I’m just trying to show a different one. Each one has their own requirements, and none are right or wrong, just different.

The thing is, if you buy the CL plus three lenses, it will be way more expensive than the Q2; also larger and heavier. If you are into lightness and compactness, it’s not the way to go

Because you live with one camera and one lens. The X2 way.

I am upgrading from an X2… the comparison would be the 90mm crops from the summicron 23mm and the Q2
