FrozenInTime Posted November 12, 2016 Share #262 Posted November 12, 2016 What function would you assign to the new button placed where the rewind clutch is on film cameras ? I will likely wait for either the M10-P or M10-D version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted November 12, 2016 Share #265 Posted November 12, 2016 The boilerplate in the image says so: http://leicarumors.c...10-camera.aspx/ Thanks Philipp. So, as I said in the M10 thread, it is perhaps more a successor to the M9 than to the current M, which very deliberately was not called the M10. Perhaps falling in line with the many suggestions that there should be two variants to the M line, one nostalgic and one technologically advanced.

I hope that is right, as what we can see of this "M10" is pretty uninspiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.f Posted November 13, 2016 Share #269 Posted November 13, 2016 There were only two wrong releases in Leica's history (excluding the point and shoot department): the R3 and the M5. The M8 has been burnt down a bit but is now being worshipped. The R8 and R9 were great camera's too, except that Leica invested too much in the wrong direction at that time, where they should have made efforts in digital Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share #275 Posted November 13, 2016 No, that's not what it is. It's a way to enable two parallel M lines. I start to believe that my source in october was right. He talked about a classic line, M-C or M10 ( I did not believe the latter..) saying it would be with a " Messsucher " . It would be introduced in November. The other source replied a few days later, that the introduction for big distributers etc. was posponed. That should be 22/23 November. A few days later Leica Rumours gets more rumours an now an " ugly" picture and one with a number on de bottem. I would say, it seems a little more likely, to see a new camera in Februari that Jono is already. testing. It will be " classical " small on places where you can feel it, but all in all the same shape like the M6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithlaban.co.uk Posted November 13, 2016 Share #279 Posted November 13, 2016 Perhaps falling in line with the many suggestions that there should be two variants to the M line, one nostalgic and one technologically advanced. I'd certainly support such a suggestion/decision if it led to a rangefinder body capable of taking an advanced EVF with the processing power to support it.

otto.f Posted November 13, 2016 Share #280 Posted November 13, 2016 Anyway, it is an interesting task for Leica to draw the vector in such a way that the two M-lines reach maximum consumers of both target-groups and that these consumers aren't paralyzed by not being able to choose. I don't think that the labelling of purists or traditionalists vs. techno-beaters is the most successfull business model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
