M10 with Live View - I'm wrong to yawn about this ?

Presage...

 

"Hi, this is my first post. I think there is something wrong with the live view on my new M10. I can't figure out why my RF is in focus but, the 10x live view image is still blurry?"

 

You MUST send it to Leica NJ to have it looked at and re-calibrated.

We just pay fro stuff we don't use!

 

Are you sure, that that is a relevant part? If we buy a shirt for say 50 Euro, the seamstress in Thailand - who actually makes it - becomes perhaps 50 cent (=1 %). With a Leica made in Germany the percentage will be a different one.

The greatest parts of the price for the enduser are sales and profits. And not to forget the sales tax (Germany 19%)!

 

Somewhere in a forum I have found, that Leica employees can become a 50% rebate, if they buy a part for a private ownership of minimum 3 years. Perhaps the percentage of the profits?

PS

Yesterday we participated in a guided tour through some churches here in Nuremberg. With the Ricoh Mount (no rangefinder) and a 28/2.8 (= 42mm) the distance had to be set by estimating. My Elmar 90/4 (=135mm) worked fine with mode2, however.

If the M becomes just another me too camera, then the M will cease to be.

 

How could the M become another "me too" camera with those wonderful lenses? And that much image quality in such a compact form? Those are what make the M interesting to me, not the rangefinder focusing.
