Advertisement Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Hi Peter Kilmister, Take a look here New Leica M in September 2016? The speculations.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Joakim Posted September 19, 2016 Share #1462 Posted September 19, 2016 Is this topic now about Apples? BTW, I remember when Apple was the Beatle's recording company. Let's make this even more off topic, isn't it 'The Beatles' and not 'The Beatle's' or are you referring to some lesser known pop group? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kilmister Posted September 19, 2016 Share #1463 Posted September 19, 2016 You are correct, joakim_d. Thank you. I made an error with the apostrophe. Put it down to old age. BTW, I also remember when a mac was a raincoat, and apple went well with blackberries to make a lovely fruit crumble ... all covered in custard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share #1465 Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) I'm still happy with my 2009 Mac Pro. I have maxed out it's RAM and put in a SSD and it quite fast. I am disappointed that Apple has said it will not run the newest OS 'Sierra'. In a couple years I will be forced to replace it.

Paulus Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share #1466 Posted September 19, 2016 Is this topic now about Apples? BTW, I remember when Apple was the Beatle's recording company. I believe that firm had another core-buisiness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Posted September 20, 2016 Share #1470 Posted September 20, 2016 With the incentive of the rebate program "on all Leica M cameras excluding Leica M (Typ 262) and Leica M-D (Typ 262)" ending October 31, how can it not be but logical that Leica would launch a new M? The marketing window for the new M opens with Photokina, then gets a rebate bump to promote new sales. Speculations, then? Leica engineers have to be waging their careers that this will be the best M, yet. More MP, higher ISO. Speculative disappointments. The viewfinder clutter of my MM246 viewfinder with its stacked 50mm and 75mm frame lines is a sorry disappointment. I speculate Leica marketing/engineering will hang onto this off-the-shelf model. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonomaBear Posted September 20, 2016 Share #1471 Posted September 20, 2016 Maybe a newer M with the SL EVF no autofocus... I'll buy it Sort of M lens version of my Q 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrp Posted September 20, 2016 Share #1472 Posted September 20, 2016 Did we speak too soon... I don't think that we did. A cosmetic firmware update for the S, a toy camera, this year's M240 variant (Titanium), [did I miss the new T?], a new service business, an expensive hand grip for the SL, a delay in releasing one SL lens and the leisurely introduction of 4 other ones. The announcement of the event is surely the medium format Fuji system which, combined with the new Hasselblad system, must start to eat into Leica's (potential) customer base (just as Sony may have been doing from below and may well join Fuji and Hasselblad in the low volume fast margin business above). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, this is what I am saying, their unique product is the M, they should capitalize on that....I am really excited...about the Fuji!

I would agree with that, though I find the Hasselblad more to my taste ergonomically. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lykafile Posted September 20, 2016 Share #1475 Posted September 20, 2016 why would leica announce a new M before their trade up to M240 promotion ends september 30? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_tribble Posted September 20, 2016 Share #1478 Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Rather pleased I put money into a used SL (great results with 21 SEM and long M glass + R 80-200). Happy to wait for whatever happens with the M now as all my needs are currently being met. Whatever the limitations of the M-240's EVF, it remains a superlatively useful tool for my professional practice and personal projects...

Steve Ash Posted September 20, 2016 Share #1479 Posted September 20, 2016 There is another opportunity to announce a new M beyond Photokina just two days before the rebate for the current M ends: http://leicarumors.com/2016/09/18/leicas-36th-annual-oskar-barnack-awards-to-be-held-in-germany-september-28th.aspx/#more-41957 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they want as much as possible for the current M users to buy into the SL, as I believe it will not be easy for them to get non current Leica shooters moving to Leica because of the SL.
