sblitz Posted May 31, 2013 Share #981 Posted May 31, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) today, picking up an M4 from the late 1960s and Canon and Nikon SLRs of similar vintage, well the difference in price is more than simply the red dot. The quality difference after 45 odd years shows through. IMHO. And I was, at the time, a firm believer in the SLR, after all the Leica was my dad's camera. The 60s, generation gap, being modern . . . . . well you had to be there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Hi sblitz, Take a look here Mini M? [MERGED] AKA X-Vario. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
kdriceman Posted May 31, 2013 Share #982 Posted May 31, 2013 Make it an optical one, as it's a fixed lens there's no great need for the EVF, and I'd buy one . I do think this is a possibility. An RX1 type Leica using much of the M240 technology. I think it would need live-view, auto focus and an EVF (probably an add-on) for composition and manual focus (with peaking) override.

Agent M10 Posted May 31, 2013 Share #984 Posted May 31, 2013 If it is something like an RX1 with the S2's ability for AF and MF, I'll be first in line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted May 31, 2013 Share #985 Posted May 31, 2013 Perhaps it was never driven and sit in your Jay Leno style garage most of the time? why bother to adjust its brakes anyway ... for cosmetic reasons? Look here. Two of the vehicles. I don't have a garage. I will after the house is paid off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
