mjh Posted September 13, 2015 Share #41 Posted September 13, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) So basically I'll need to buy a M-240 2016… Funny boys Did you really expect Leica to introduce a new EVF for a three years old camera (assuming it was even possible which it isn’t), being fully aware that it wouldn’t work with any future Leica camera as those would have the new interface? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Hi mjh, Take a look here EVF-2 future replacement?/EVF4 {merged}. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

It's a bit too much obsolescence for my taste, contradicting Leica's own official doxa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Posted September 14, 2015 Share #48 Posted September 14, 2015 It's a bit too much obsolescence for my taste, contradicting Leica's own official doxa. Obsolescence? The M (Typ 240) continues to be a viable camera, be it with or without its optional EVF. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted September 14, 2015 Share #49 Posted September 14, 2015 I use the EVF which I find works fine for framing and I very much like on FP how it indicates DOF when shifting f stops. I have all data necessary for exposure in my EVF so it is one stop exposure/composition management for me. Just hit the info button to scroll through what EVF views you want. Perhaps objections come from experienced users who know the lens, DOF, framing. It is much easier making pictures when we do not need, or want information imposed upon the frame.

jaapv Posted September 14, 2015 Share #50 Posted September 14, 2015 Pointless remark : I use OF when useful, and EVF when useful. It's not a church, it's about photography. With the caveat that this is an OV/RF camera with an auxiliary EVF. If you want to use an optimal EVF camera, look elsewhere. It's a bit too much obsolescence for my taste, contradicting Leica's own official doxa. Not really, it just uses the components available at the time of its design. Want newer, more advanced components? Then you need to get a newer, more advanced camera. That is the price to pay for buying into a rapidly developing technology. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted September 15, 2015 Share #52 Posted September 15, 2015 There has never been a richer time in photography for choosing among capable....even extraordinary... tools, from a variety of manufacturers, Leica included. If it's really about photography, one needn't wait around, or rely on the forum or church....choose tools that suit and get on with it.
