Advertisement Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Hi tookaphotoof, Take a look here What do you want in the next digital M?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rramesh Posted July 2, 2014 Share #322 Posted July 2, 2014 I kind of like the approach Sony has taken with the a7s keeping the megapixel low and increasing the low light performance. Seems like a very smart thing to do. Maybe Leica could consider this in the next M. Keep it at 24 or even 18 megapixel but increase ISO performance with better software.

Guest Nick932 Posted August 10, 2014 Share #325 Posted August 10, 2014 make the movie button a workable reset button. add remote access so Leica could fix it over the internet. Finally it should work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookaphotoof Posted August 10, 2014 Share #326 Posted August 10, 2014 I love the led frame lines and probably possible with a simple firmware update, Leica could implement an option in the menu where you can switch off the frame lines you don't need or that it only shows the frame lines of the lens you put on. Think I would quite like that feature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJWhite Posted August 10, 2014 Share #327 Posted August 10, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Indeed. With coded lenses on the 240 there's no reason at all to show 75mm frames with 50mm frames. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I would quite like that feature. This has been discussed ad nauseam. As Mark Norton shows here, the frame lines continue to be mechanical, not electronic; only the illumination of them has changed. Until the system is changed in another M design, not a firmware or coding issue. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timde Posted August 10, 2014 Share #329 Posted August 10, 2014 I wonder if it would be possible to have two illumination sources, one for the inner set of frames and one for the outer set of frames? That could be switched according to the lens code (if present). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 10, 2014 Share #330 Posted August 10, 2014 Not by the way it is implemented now. It might be simpler to project electronic frame lines, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sileem Posted August 14, 2014 Share #332 Posted August 14, 2014 M 241 starter set. Get 50% off from lens price if purchase M 241 + cron 35 asph or M 241 + cron 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you might have a chance of that. You'll have to purchase the Summis as an extra at an additional 50% though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted August 14, 2014 Share #334 Posted August 14, 2014 Get 50% off from lens price... Used lens, Summarit, third-party lens….lots of ways to 'start'.…and any of these can offer splendid results. Same with camera options. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

indergaard Posted August 30, 2014 Share #336 Posted August 30, 2014 As a long time Leica owner and user I sadly wan't the next M to be more like the Sony A7S, and at a normal price point based on how the camera performs (so drop the price by two thirds of the current cost). Also, I want Leica to ditch the rangefinder/OVF completely. This mechanism is so horribly prone to being knocked out of alignment it's not even funny. What's the point of a camera that's built like a tank not being able to survive a slight knock without becoming completely unusable without LV/EVF? I would rather want a superb high-quality EVF solution like the Sony A7's and the Fuji X-T1. Things will ALWAYS be properly in focus even if the lens needs calibration, as what you see is what you get. This change would also make the turnaround time for service at Leica drop by two months on average compared to today probably I love my M240, but it's more for the novelty nowadays, not due to it's photographic capabilities.

mfunnell Posted August 30, 2014 Share #337 Posted August 30, 2014 Also, I want Leica to ditch the rangefinder/OVF completely.Indeed. As nothing so categorises a Leica M-series rangefinder as the complete absence of "a viewfinder combined with a lens-coupled split-image/dual-image rangefinder". They should have given those away years ago in favour of a reflex mirror with instant return mechanism and automatic diaphragm. That would have made it far more distincitive that those SLR cameras. If you don't want a rangefinder camera then why on earth would you pay so much money for one :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timde Posted August 30, 2014 Share #338 Posted August 30, 2014 If you don't want a rangefinder camera then why on earth would you pay so much money for one :confused: Full frame and works better with Leica glass! An M with an EVF at a price between the a7s and M240 would be nice ... but perhaps too nice for Leica when you can spend much more on a Rangefinder and the 500 dollar 200 dollar EVF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookaphotoof Posted August 30, 2014 Share #339 Posted August 30, 2014 I'm very satisfied with the Zeiss ZE en CFE lenses I have. The downside is it's hard to focus quickly. That's why I have the Leica M and some of their lenses. Both analog and digital. Lose the rangefinder on future M bodies and I'm off to another less expensive brand in combination with Zeiss again.

Dikaiosune01 Posted August 30, 2014 Share #340 Posted August 30, 2014 My personal wish list 1. more affordable prices 2. easily code zeiss lenses 3. an easy way to easily calibrate multiple lenses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
