Here's a bit of reading of the tea leaves from Mike Evans at Macfilos. He covers his thoughts and predictions on the SL, Q and the possibility of an M with EVF as well as the M system. Leica in 2024 and 2025: What’s next from Wetzlar https://www.macfilos.com/2024/02/05/leica-in-2024-and-2025-whats-next-from-wetzlar/

I had my Leica Q sent for servicing, and now the proximity sensor for EVF does not work correctly. I have the display settings EVF - LCD set to "Auto", which should switch to EVF mode when I put the camera closer to my face, and switch to LCD when I move it away. However, the camera gets permanently "stuck" in the EVF mode no matter the position. The only way to switch it to LCD is to set the display settings to "LCD". I find it hard to believe that this wouldn't be noticed by the QA of Leica servicing (it was 560€ after all...) I reached out to them for clarification but it might take a while before I get an answer. What's worse is, that I had the camera serviced end of December, but then I went for traveling for 3 months (without the camera), and only noticed the issue now that I have an upcoming shoot this weekend, and I wanted to make sure everything is set up properly. Anyone had a similar issue by any chance? I only found references to this happening if you have a protector screen on the EVF, which I don't. I do have a screen protector on the LCD. -
Similar to the problems reported in other threads (here and here) my M11 (new late Sept) no longer works with Visoflex 2. The M11 no longer recognises the presence of the EVF and the EVF controls in the menu remain greyed-out when either EVF or EVF Extended have been selected and yes - I have gone through all the checks and actions associated with the issue. The Visoflex 2 works perfectly with my M10M so unfortunately (and most annoyingly) a four month old camera costing £7500 will have to be returned to the UK dealer. Will ring them in the morning (Wed) to discuss the issue.

Dear all, I've noticed recently that when I set EVF-LCD on Auto the EVF doesn't work when I lift the camera to my eye. When I lower it, the LCD works fine, so the proximity sensor isn't an issue. Selecting EVF only mode I can see my subject. Then when I select EVF extended mode EVF is black again. In LCD mode the LCD screen works fine. If my memory doesn't err this appeared after upgrading to FW v2, however it's still there after upgrading to FW v2.1... I could not find similar topic in the forum, so should I take her to the doctor? She's only 11 months old... Thank you in advance

Hi, I’m new to the Q2, can you help me with a quick question please? I've noticed that the EVF gets slightly darker on longer (e.g 1/30) exposures when I half press the shutter button. The actual exposure looks more like the EVF before I half pressed the shutter. The smaller the aperture the more noticeable it is. Any ideas? thank you. -
just got my Q-P back from the repair center, they are telling me that everything is fine with my Q-P, but, are your images in camera also looking like this? See the red stuff? somehow its not on all images... please check your Q and tell me.

Hi all, I've done a bit of back-pedalling, looking for a similar question here, but having found none, I'm somewhat confident this hasn't been answered before. So, hopefully, some of you may be able to provide an answer. What I'm trying to achieve: Using the EVF, I'd like to be able to use my right thumb to touch the LCD and focus; ideally using Touch AF + Release mode. Naturally, I've tried setting the CL to Touch AF / Touch AF + Release, tried EVF-LCD Auto / Extended, but, of course, to no avail. Am I missing something or is Touch AF limited to LCD mode only?

I am greatly enjoying using the Leica M10. For me, it is the nicest handling digital M yet. I like taking wide-angle shots at vintage and classic car shows with some of my favourite lenses such as the 16-18-21mm Wide Angle Tri-Elmar (WATE) and the 24mm Elmar. At the recent Irish Classic and Vintage Motor Show I gave both of these lenses an outing on the M10. I tested both lenses in advance with the 'Frankenfinder' optical multi-finder and 'Visoflex' EVF for the M10 and I decided to go with the optical finder as the frame-lines enabled framing to avoid too many other spectators getting in the photos. My favourite combination was, in fact, the 24mm Elmar with the optical finder which has a setting for 24mm lenses. I like the EVF, but I prefer rangefinder focussing and also the use of frame-lines for wide-angle shots, so the EVF stayed in the bag for the car show. An article showing some photos taken with the M10 at the car show is here: http://macfilos.com/photo/2017/7/17/leica-m10-meets-the-motoring-stars-of-yesteryear I would be interested to hear from anyone who has used the WATE or 24mm Elmar with either the 'Frankenfinder' or the EVF on the M10.

I have set the live view to auto, i.e., to automatically switch from the screen to the EVF (when you put the camera to your face to look through the EVF) and back from the EVF to the screen (when you take the camera away from the face). Initially, I had the issue that the camera did not detect when I looked through the EVF. I thought it could be a bad contact between the EVF and the camera because it worked when I wiped the contacts of the camera and the EVF. But since yesterday I have the opposite. If I switch on live view, it shows on the screen. When I look through the EVF, it switches to the EVF. So far so good. But when I no longer look through the EVF, the live view image stays in the EVF and does not appear on the screen, Sometimes, after 10-15 seconds, live view switches back to the screen. Problem persisted after battery change, camera reset, and indeed firmware update. BTW, it did the same with automatic review and playing images, which was really annoying. After I took a shot with the EVF, the photo showed in the EVF for review; same when I then pushed play. I "solved" that by setting review and play to screen and not to automatic. Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi all, Have had an SL and the 24-90 for 18 months, great camera and wonderful IQ but the size/weight means I am not using it as much as I could. I am thinking of moving to the M but have a couple of considerations on which I would appreciate some advice from owners. Rangefinder robustness - I have read too many threads where people have had to get their RF adjusted or sent back to Leica to get adjusted, is the M10 any more robust? Is RF calibration really an issue? As I have been shooting mirrorless for some years now (range of Fujis before this, my first Leica), I would need the comfort blanket of the EVF on the M10. I cant find much information on the Visoflex (Type 020), can anyone compare it to the SL EVF? Thanks.

I have been using an EVF with my M-P (240) and 24mm lens. Sometimes, it gets frustrating when I experience the blackout after tripping the shutter. Even with continuous shooting. I'm wondering if anyone has a preference for using the brightline finder (for the 24mm) instead of the EVF? Thanks!

Any news about this camera? It is clear that it is going to appear sooner or later, but WHEN and HOW will it be? If you look at the current product range, there is one or more camera every 1.000 Euros, with a lack at around 3.000€: C and V-Lux: 1.000 Euros TL2: 2.000 Euros + lens small SL (or TL w/EVF): 3.000 + lens Q: +4.000 Euro SL: + 5.000 + lens M: + 6.000 + lens S: etc. etc.... And the TL lens range has a great potential to be used on more then one body only. I believe it will be more a "small" SL rather then a TL with EVF, for which is hard to ask for 3.000 Euro... Better a pro look, with the bulky but acceptable EVF, watertight, heavy, similar to SL but smaller... What do you think? any news?
