wilfredo Posted August 11, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) What's buzzing in the Leica world these days? It doesn't look like much is happening? Will that change once the MM and M10 hit the markets? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted August 11, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2012 It's 5 weeks until Photokina. Lots will be happening then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylgo Posted August 12, 2012 Share #3 Posted August 12, 2012 Unusually quiet these past few weeks, this could prove to be a concern that Leica may have to delay announcements and release dates. Other manufacturers in the not so distant past were (supposedly) on the cusp of announcing anticipated cameras only to have nothing. Then again this could be the quiet before the storm.

earleygallery Posted August 12, 2012 Share #4 Posted August 12, 2012 Are you bored with what's available? Exhausted all capabilities of the various cameras/lemses made to date? Limited by not having this feature or that lens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Posted August 12, 2012 Share #5 Posted August 12, 2012 Other manufacturers in the not so distant past were (supposedly) on the cusp of announcing anticipated cameras only to have nothing. Supposedly … What really happened was that rumour mongers were proven wrong but wouldn’t admit that; instead they invented another rumour that the original rumour was true, only the planned product introduction had to be cancelled due to some unforeseen circumstances. (Like some people claimed that ‘May 10’ really was code for ‘M10’, only the M10 wasn’t ready yada yada …) As is customary in every year divisible by 2, there will be a Leica press conference on the eve of photokina, there will be new products announced, and if everything works well, there will be no serious leaks before that date.

johnbuckley Posted August 12, 2012 Share #6 Posted August 12, 2012 And just as every two years we are expectantly awaiting a big product announcement (or every three years if the M8-M9-M(10?)) pattern holds, we are now in this sort of tense, shoot-at-shadows period awaiting the delivery of the new product. Had the M Monochrom shown up early, this forum would be all abuzz over the reports from early adopters. As it is, we are awaiting delivery of the Monochrom and 50 Summicron, and news of the M10. Which leads to threads for the sake of doing something, anything, that might hasten the delivery of news and products! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocaburger Posted August 13, 2012 Share #7 Posted August 13, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) And just as every two years we are expectantly awaiting a big product announcement On a positive note it beats expectantly waiting for my M9's sensor to crack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted August 13, 2012 Share #8 Posted August 13, 2012 This is what Steve says: Leica M10 – September Photokina Announcement – March 2013 Available from Dealers… | STEVE HUFF PHOTOS And I say that the M10 will be the first M camera to breach 10K Dollars, Euros and pretty much any other currency.

andybarton Posted August 13, 2012 Share #10 Posted August 13, 2012 I'm going to Photokina, so I can't wait I'm looking forward to seeing what Hasselblad have to offer too - something tasty coming there, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjh Posted August 13, 2012 Share #12 Posted August 13, 2012 I’ve registered for the Hasselblad press conference but remain sceptical – last photokina I had left with the impression that Hasselblad had stolen (and wasted) one hour of my time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
