IkarusJohn Posted September 25, 2015 Share #141 Posted September 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Regardless if from Q it will Be a future ME or a mirrorless system as I said "I see that many new customer can be conquered by a Q alike ( in M system)." The Q was an exploring camera for something much more important The M-E is the entry M, and is a run-out model. It's sensible. The Q isn't an M, and provides no entry at all, except to Leica expense... The biggest part of the M system is the lenses, which the Q doesn't use. The Q has absolutely nothing to do with the M system. I do find it interesting that Leica is (apparently) continuing the M-E. The existing camera was a stripped down run-out of the simpler CCD based M9. The M9 was iconic, and the CMOS based M(240) a significant departure from that camera. I could see why Leica released it. If the next M is a further iteration of the M(240), why bother? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkonkkrete Posted September 25, 2015 Share #142 Posted September 25, 2015 I would love a 'stripped-down' M240 for less than the current asking price. The M-E was a bargain when it was released, although it is looking a little long in the tooth now. I think the M-E is a very useful concept for Leica as it offers a route into M glass for noobs (like me), or a backup camera for seasoned users who can't afford to upgrade every generation.

The Q was an exploring camera for something much more important I'm one of those. Tried the M9 a few years ago, but it didn't take. But with the Q I'm ready to place my order, will have to sell of a few lenses from my Nikon systems first.. Leica is really moving forward and what will the announcement on 20th of October contain...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vip Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share #145 Posted September 27, 2015 The M ( beautifu , I have an 240) is not the taste everyone is looking for. Number of selling are clear. Other types are extremely successfully. Leica needs a full frame EVF autofocus. Is not a competing products with M, is an expanding option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 27, 2015 Share #146 Posted September 27, 2015 Then having nothing to do with the M-E right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
