photolotse Posted April 25, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm still thinking of why Leica has been given a "T" to their new camera lineup. Maybe the T's origin comes from "T" for "T"ouchscreen? But then this wouldn't be a german word like the "M" for "M"esssucher. Any other ideas why a "T" has been chosen?

satijntje Posted April 25, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2014 No idea.... But are you going to replace the X2 from your wife???? Would be nice for Istanbul! gr John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photolotse Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted April 25, 2014 No idea.... But are you going to replace the X2 from your wife???? Would be nice for Istanbul! Leica T with yellow cover and strap would fit like a glove. Unfortunately there's no EVF in the desired color available - yet. ;-) Cheers, Carsten Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfarkas Posted April 25, 2014 Share #4 Posted April 25, 2014 The "T" doesn't stand for anything. It was a letter in the alphabet that had no product history at Leica. Also, the letter is simple, elegant and symmetrical - like the camera. That's the inside scoop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted April 25, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 25, 2014 and symmetrical - like the camera. About which axis? Doesn't look very symmetrical to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotofanatiker Posted April 26, 2014 Share #7 Posted April 26, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I guess it refers to sensor size and means "Toy"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rramesh Posted April 27, 2014 Share #9 Posted April 27, 2014 Thank You. It delivers what most of us were waiting for. A Leica implementation of a fully electronic interchangeable lens body, with a viewfinder, able to use all Leica lenses and to serve as a perfect back-up to the M.

NZDavid Posted April 28, 2014 Share #10 Posted April 28, 2014 Not really. An X camera with interchangeable lenses that retained easier-to-use manual dials would have been an ideal backup for an M camera. Take it or leave it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
