Ruhayat Posted June 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know the X Vario is just out and all that, but in case you are already thinking of the next X model, may I suggest the following: an X Monochrom the size of the X Vario (not the X2), with a 50mm f2.5 fixed lens (not extending upon power on), and built-in film modes emulating Tri-X, T-Max and Pan films. I'll buy two of them, I promise. Along with one X Vario to cover all my photographic bases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiltonJoy Posted June 17, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 17, 2013 Not sure about the X-Vario but if you hold the play button down as you turn on the camera the lens will remain retracted. Works on the X1 and I guess the X2. HTH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs a built in viewfinder and a 35 mm lens rather than a 50 for me Please , and I'll buy one too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Really? I didn't know that. Can you still use the camera with the lens like that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted June 17, 2013 Share #5 Posted June 17, 2013 You're in the "play" mode while the lens is retracted, i.e. you can look at the pictures. In order to take pictures, you have to extend the lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy two of them, I promise. Along with one X Vario to cover all my photographic bases. Dear Leica, with a tip of the hat to Ruhayat, if you build him his dream niche X-camera, then please also build me my personal dream niche X-camera: A "Leica X-Pan" the size of the X Vario with a 21mm (equiv) ƒ3.4 Super-Elmar fixed lens, a 24MP sensor with multiple aspect ratios (16:9 to 1:1 like the D-Lux 6), a time-lapse intervalometer and built-in film modes emulating Kodachrome 25 and Velvia 50. This would be my ultimate compact camera for landscape and travel. Or better yet, build us all an X the same size as the X Vario body, but with built-in EVF of same quality as Olympus VF-4, IBIS, and interchangeable mount with adaptors for my R lenses and for M. That would cover all MY photographic bases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy two of them, I promise. Along with one X Vario to cover all my photographic bases. Now if they made it with a dual focal length lens (a la Konica 21/35mm M), e.g. 28 and 50mm e I`d buy this as well. Though f2.5 might be a challenge then.

LucisPictor Posted June 18, 2013 Share #8 Posted June 18, 2013 What about an "X Vario Pro"? 2.8-4/28-70 lens high resolution EVF colour CMOS but no AA-Filter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
