I confused global with rolling shutter, didn't I.

Thanks for the correction.

 

If gear forum geeks had a sense of humor there could be a ton of humor in this mix up :)

 

failing that how about a photography joke:

"Q. What's the best way to make money in photography?

A. Sell all your gear."

Sell all your gear with a profit, you mean. A friend of mine is a real crack in it.

the same resoucre which told me about Q and its digital crop from 28  to 35 and 50

that's some innovation

 

however, using photoshop I can make the Q have a seamless zoom going from 28-2000+ mm, and if we include stitching 12-2000mm

 

it's embarrassing even mentioning digital crop-modes

It is all interesting to read what people want and don't want in a new M. The question is what makes the M unique? For me, a totally manual simple yet superior camera is a joy to use. I want a camera that forces me to "think". Add all these 'features' ..... Starting to lose it for me. The 'range finder' should be a keeper always, even if it's in electronic form. Keeping it portable and discreet, an absolute must!

Yes, yes, yes! Amen, sister!

The funny thing is that most of it talks about SL.

What do you do with a thread about a new M this fall when there is no new M this fall? Might just as well talk about something else.

So many things to buy: tried a Q a few weeks back. Nice, but...no. The SL? Would love to try it, but ....no. New M in fall. Would be lovely but I think the fall will be very late this year.  Gives me plenty of time to save for the new M body. But....

 

could Leica please make it with a safire screen the first time and not wait untill the M-P version.

I look forward to the new M.

 

But as a rangefinder camera, there is little to dislike in the M240. 

 

A few days ago I met a very talented photographer, and his heavily brassed-up M8. This is not the brassing that comes from careful application of sandpaper, but from - what he told me was - over 370,000 actuations. Mounted to it? A collapsible 3.5/35 Elmar.

 

His work is pretty impressive - 

 

Reminded me, as I looked at my fairly clean looking M240, that this hobby is not about buying gear.

 

Nonetheless, I look forward to the new M....
