Paulus Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share #221 Posted November 3, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Secondly, I don't think a new M will trigger a huge wave of upgrades; the present camera is simply too good for that. The sales of the next M will come, I am convinced,mainly from new users, and Leica must take that into account. Mayber you are right, but I got a little reminiscense: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/196962-the-average-aged-wont-buy-a-m240/?p=2225329 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Hi Paulus, Take a look here New Leica M 240 follow-up in 2017 : The speculations.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Paulus Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share #222 Posted November 3, 2016 The only thing we have to ask is: what will it be called? M250? M10? M11? And if it goes nowhere slowly, the M25? I would welcome going back to a simply naming structure that followed common sense. M11 for me please. Same shape and size as an M7. Electronic viewfinder but i doubt that, and so it will be optical. Dual would be ideal. Or a viewfinder like the Nikon SP. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I heard, it would be called Leica M-C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted November 4, 2016 Share #223 Posted November 4, 2016 Why do you need a new M? M240 is nearly perfect! The M240 is hardly perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ash Posted November 4, 2016 Share #224 Posted November 4, 2016 Management looked at the M-C (EVF M), renamed it M-C Hammer. The pieces went to trash. Decided for perfectly new EVF camera called SL. Next Leica M with rangefinder is in the making ( at whatever stage of the process).

Manoleica Posted November 4, 2016 Share #225 Posted November 4, 2016 Really, who bl***y cares when the new M will arrive or what name/number it has.. People are still using the M8's & 9's, delivering mouthwatering images.. I doubt anyone's photography will improve in relation to the COST.. if you have that much disposable cash, why not give it to a reputable charity!!! Tax benefits apply.. it's sad how much GAS the better off get... L Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted November 4, 2016 Share #226 Posted November 4, 2016 As much as i like the rangefinder of my M240 i find it too slow and noisy a camera to remain my favorite so i hope the next M will improve significantly on these grounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax benefits apply.. it's sad how much GAS the better off get... L It's always difficult to discuss the cost of a Leica camera. I cannot remember when it was not an issue. I also doubt if my photography would improve with a new Leica M. Since my MP my photography has not really improved. I think I made my best "Leica" photo with a Nikon F3. The technical possibilities although have. I can make photographs which were not possible to me before the M 240. If I had bought a nice Nikon D 800 maybe it would also be possible, but I did not. Maybe that was a better choise because it maybe was cheaper and I could give the surplus to charity. I am glad I have no car, so that I can, maybe give the surplus of not having a car to charity. I care if and when a new Leica M arrives, not because I imediately want to buy one, but because I am very curious if Leica can keep up with the competion and if Leica can surprise the rest of the camera - world with a creative and attractive concept. I also care if Leica, as a brand, would stay alive with a Leica M. The times are not so hard as in the nineties but... I have been loyal to this brand for over a decade, because I love it, maybe enough to worry about it sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First welcome to the forum... Next, I agree I haven't seen mouthwatering pictures in this forum. Mainly because there is no picture forum for foodies. But certainly mouthwatering pictures are possible using Leica. http://blog.leica-camera.com/2016/06/23/create-mouthwatering-images/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.f Posted November 4, 2016 Share #234 Posted November 4, 2016 I wonder how many times it has been said on this forum that a nicer, newer, more expensive camera, with nicer looks, feelings and/or less shutter noise DOES NOT MAKE ME A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER. Pfff, can we stop this? We are all here because WE ARE camera fetishists, duhuh, why would we come to a Leica forum if we weren't! Let's just enjoy the ZEN of camera fetishism and take the sometimes nice images for granted. My new Harley doesn't make me a better biker either, so what! I just enjoy the process more, is that ok please? We are no heroes nor HCB clones, just plain consumers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
