andybarton Posted September 25, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 25, 2015 Dr Kaufmann's response to question would seem to confirm that this is something new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted September 25, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 25, 2015 It could also mean that it was not a Leica product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblitz Posted September 25, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 25, 2015 have to agree with Andy here, a Q/R combo ... we will know in a few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted September 25, 2015 Actually there's be enough clues so far - it's almost certainly going to be a FF EVIL camera, with retro 'SLR' styling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblitz Posted September 28, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 28, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) If true they probably cut the legs right out of the Q and T and maybe even X lines. And perhaps we will look back and see all of these as beta tests to check on technology working in the field and customer demand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblitz Posted September 28, 2015 Share #9 Posted September 28, 2015 Right now you know what the cards look like so I will defer to your judgement for the moment and take up the discussion after the introduction of what is to be introduced Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted September 28, 2015 If true they probably cut the legs right out of the Q and T and maybe even X lines. And perhaps we will look back and see all of these as beta tests to check on technology working in the field and customer demand. I don't see that - apart from specification there are the different price points to bear in mind. The SL will no doubt be significantly more expensive than an X model for example, larger too. The Q is probably going to be closest to an SL with a 28mm prime, if indeed there will be a 28mm prime available for it. But then there has always been a market for a high quality compact v an 'SLR'.

lct Posted September 28, 2015 Share #11 Posted September 28, 2015 The "SL" is rumoured at $8K including a 50/2 lens so with a 28/2 lens, it could be more than twice as expensive as the Q. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblitz Posted September 28, 2015 Share #12 Posted September 28, 2015 So, as long as we have time to ponder. Let's assume for the moment the SL is a Q with interchangeable lens. Q is 4000 camera plus lens. SL is 8000 with lens BUT you can have different lens. Perhaps even backward compatible to R or M mount with adapter loosing the AF function. So camera is 4000 plus 4000 for the 50mm AF lens. Obviously a different price point. Worth the pay up? No opinion one way or the other.

Paolo.Battista Posted September 29, 2015 Share #13 Posted September 29, 2015 If rumors are true, the kit lens will be a 50 mm f:1,4 Summilux. Assuming a lens price similar to the M Summilux, it will be around 3.500 € for the lens and 4.500 € for the body. Not cheap but not too far from a Sony A7R II.

250swb Posted September 29, 2015 Share #14 Posted September 29, 2015 Not cheap but not too far from a Sony A7R II. ? Still a couple of thousand Euro, but in any case in six months time when the SL is on the shelves the Sony A7R II will be into it's heavy discount phase making the gap massive.

Paolo.Battista Posted September 29, 2015 Share #15 Posted September 29, 2015 ? Still a couple of thousand Euro, Well, one thousand € actually. The A7R II selling price (at least in Italy) is around 3.500 €. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 29, 2015 Share #16 Posted September 29, 2015 If rumors are true, the kit lens will be a 50 mm f:1,4 Summilux. [...] Surprising indeed. I'm late on this sorry. Would you have a link? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share #17 Posted September 29, 2015 What we know so far..... The SL will be a FF EVIL camera styled to look like an SLR, available in black finish It will be released with 2 zoom lenses and 1 prime, a 24-90 f2.8-4, a 90-280 f2.8-4 and a 50 f1.4. It will be VERY expensive What we don't yet know..... What type of strap will it have What bag will be best for an SL, two lenses, notebook and tuna sandwich Can you get a black dot for it? Will this cheap battery off ebay work in my new £8000 camera, because an extra Leica battery is £100! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
