And why having removed the video button? It could have been made programmable for other purposes especially image magnification when we don't need (or like) auto magnification. 

 

I think the movie button is now incorporated into the on/off switch, which makes more sense than the M240 button.  After all, movie is just another capture mode that should be triggered with the shutter button.

 

I am hoping that the absence of markings on the on/off switch means that the selected position is indicated in the viewfinder, along with current ISO and speed, and hopefully a level, all with a setting to display the info or not display anything for a clear viewfinder.

The M10 looks super nice. So, on previous trends, it should be 2020 before the Monochrom version is available, and perhaps 2021 before the M-D version comes out.

 

I wonder what they'll put on the back of the M-D, since the ISO setting is now taken care of by the dial on the top plate?

Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing. But why removing a button which could have been programmable?

 

Because Leica (and I) would prefer a cleaner body.  Less buttons is better.  Looks like the M10 also removed some buttons from the back.

Cumbersome for EC, but I always thought it was great for magnification (because you don't need to hold it down and turn).

I use the rear dial for EC

 

Whenever I use the rear dial only for EC I regret it - it's always moves as the camera rubs against my side.

There used to be this multi-ISO film - I used it once and got horrible results...

That multi-ISO film exists again. It is called Portra 400, and while you can't rate it at ISO 6,400, you can pretty much rate it anywhere from ISO 25 to 1,600 without changing the exposure and get "acceptable" results, which can't be said for ANY digital camera, no matter the dynamic range they claim to possess. But that is a whole different discussion for another forum that has been debated ad nauseam.

Yes - that was the film

I found with the old version that using it at anything outside the ISO 200-800 range produced horrible brownish-reddish prints. :(

I still have a double print on the wall from1993, but those are sunset shots - the cast didn't matter ;)

Should a front button be retained it needs to be proud of the body making it easier to press. The M240 needed a blimp.

Again - looking at the information to hand, the front button does appear to be proud of the surrounding ring in a way which is not the case with the M-240.

However will we manage when the thing is actually out there?  

 

How long will it take us to switch mode from SPECULATE to COMPLAIN  :p

I'd just like to report progress against Roger's graph of equipment perceived worth.

 

We are approaching the point of intersection between Option A & B

Enjoy the lull in the storm whilst you can, until the 18th :D
