Do the Japanese boycott Leica with sensor tech?

I shouldn't say this, but what I heard from somebody on the inside is that the Japanese camera manufacturers are forced to use their own lesser sensors because the European sensor manufacturers boycott them. Sometimes by begging a lot a Japanese company gets allowed to use an old generation sensor but generally they're forced to use their own poor quality sensors.

 

That's the danger of listening to someone on the inside...who needs to get outiside more often LOL!

I don't know, China and North Korea make a lot of Censors, but personally I like a censor with Moire rather then less. Which is why I never use Alcoholics Anonymous filters.

Hit a raw nerve ?

 

Hey now, the Cuban censors are going to be in a tizzy since you overlooked them.

If you want your pictures to look like a Sony camera, why not buy a Sony camera?

No need, X109, X113, XV, T, all have getting old in the tooth Sony aps-c under the hood.

I read somewhere that the Japanese refuse to sell Leica cutting edge sensor tech. They will only sell Leica older tech sensors. That is what Leica uses less desirable Euro sensors. Is this true?

Leica sensors are not made in Japan, France, North Korea or China. Here is the truth about where Leica sensors come from.

 

A year or so before the release of the M240 and subsequent cameras, the Leica R&D lab developed and built a super-secret stealth space plane (with a black Leica logo) that is 100% invisible to all currently operational radar.

 

On cloudy, moonless nights in Wetzlar, the Leica stealth plane is launched. It is flown by the aircraft commander to the Hubble space telescope. Once it has arrived at the Hubble telescope, the Leica mission specialist is dispatched to Hubble while the aircraft commander maintains flight. The mission specialist carefully removes digital sensors from Hubble, safely storing them in a Pelican box.

 

The Leica stealth space plane crew then waits for the next moonless, cloudy night in Wetzlar, whereupon they silently glide to a landing at the Leica headquarters. The Leica stealth space plane is then quickly spirited into its closed hangar in order to avoid detection by prying eyes of Wetzlarites as well as the long lenses of the corporate spies sent by Sony, Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Hasselblad and others.

 

This is how and where Leica obtains sensors for the M240, T and X cameras; it also explains the "production delays" and "back orders" of these cameras.

I prefer a censor with Molière, to reduce satyrical artifacts.
