Dear Paulus,

 

The 48 Mpix CMOSIS sensor has an aspect ratio of 4:3, and Leica has a 100 years marriage with 3:2 aspect ratio.

 

The new CMOSIS sensor measures 36x28 mm, and not 36x24 mm as in previous M and in the SL.

 

Best regards

A propos new CMOSIS sensor, interesting opinion from another forum:

 

"It measures 27.6 x 36.4 mm and has a 4:3 aspect ratio. If you cut it down to 24 x 36 mm, you'd get 41 MP. CMOSIS could certainly sell a 24 x 36 mm sensor based on this sensor".

 

Maybe correct, maybe not, but interesting for future M.

I still wonder, what went wrong with it in November, that Leica posponed the release.

 

I'm also curious if the new M comes in Black and in Chrome version.

 

I do hope that Leica will not make it a habit to come with an simple version and in two years with the M10P version.

Why are the two pictures of such different quality?

 

Front view comes from this page apparently:

It's funny how a phone can take a pretty decent image even if the user is falling-down-drunk but the image over on LR is so bad it looks like it was shot on a Minox Riga by James Coburn. Deliberate tease I'd bet, as is often done these days by Marketing. And look what's going on there on the "rewind" side. Leica does the Df.

 

The M3 was perfect at birth and remains so, lording imperiously over its sometimes errant children. Leica knows this better than most of its customers. Given time they'll get digital into an M3 shell, mm for mm, if they haven't just done it. Remember, six computers was once all the world needed.

 

s-a
