Advertisement Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Hi IkarusJohn, Take a look here M 11 will be around in less than 4 years. The speculations and facts.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
WvE Posted November 9, 2018 Share #602 Posted November 9, 2018 1. Of course a next gen sensor with improved ISO and DNR capabilities (24MB is fine with me). 2. LCD touch screen flush with body. 3. Yes...an advance lever (with a 'clever' function besides thumb rest). 4. Focus confirmation in OVF (if technically possible). 5. Increased battery life. 6. Faster wake-up time. 7. Lighter body, slightly lower body (M6 classic dimensions). 8. Improved ISO knob. 9. Round buttons at the back side, looks better in my view (similar to M9). 10. Bigger D-pad/wheel (similar to M9). Please keep the frame selector lever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evikne Posted November 9, 2018 Share #603 Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) I also expect the silent shutter from M10-P and D to be standard in all future models (if not electronic). Edited November 9, 2018 by evikne Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The curtain has to close, take the shot then open again. That's a second+ betwwen each shot. (it's not a problem when using only RF) 2) C mode is completely blind when using EVF/LV 3) light meter discrepancy, the reading is inconsistent between using EVF/LV and RF. I think it is the reflection from the curtain is very different comparing to the sensor's reading. 4) it is noisy and expensive to maintain 5) shutter speed limit to 1/4000 second, it can't go wide open in bring daylight without ND filter. The only upside is less dust on the sensor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papimuzo Posted November 28, 2018 Share #610 Posted November 28, 2018 I disagree with that...😉 I like this speed impression. Remember the pictures we could see of cars-racing in the first quarter of the XXe century: the large ovoidal weels raging! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted November 28, 2018 Share #611 Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I think I would agree with Jaap's comments about rangefinders and personally I prefer using the rangefinder to conventional focussing in most situations. Probably the thing I would look for would be to be able to order through the a la carte a camera with a viewfinder that matched as close as possible the M3 viewfinder, with it's 1:1 ratio, as without being selfish in judgements that would facilitate fast and accurate focussing, allowing for the fact that not everyone has perfect eyesight or access to a prescription loupe (and anyway the efficient use of a camera shouldn't demand detail perfect eyesight any more than it might demand ideal lighting conditions). Sorry about the split infinitives to go with the split image...😉 Edited November 28, 2018 by robert_parker Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why all pictures taken before the digital M are never sharp. Automation of every detail is the only way to enrich the art of photgraphy Oh Dear. After twenty--five years of professional use of the M system I now must hear that none of all my pictures were ever sharp. Good Lord, that I didn't see that, nor my editors. http://www.roelvisser.nl Edited November 28, 2018 by roelv1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's turn Jaapv and I agree, hmmm... but how often do you shoot a rotating propeller engine? I love RF as most people here and taking advantages of it "at normal situations". However RF hits it's limitation such as long range or in low light environment while summilux or noctilux shines. At the dark, RF at best is able to align the silhouette of my subject but often time off by inches to what supposed to be (eyes are few inches closer than the shoulder for example). Maybe I should say keeping both shutter mode but option to select electronic shutter only. Base on available technology, I think it's not too much to ask?

It's not up to one's brand image to dump me down, Leica introduce fast lenses for the low light photography but not providing proper solution. Someone probably supports Leica to negate C mode and self timer on M10 to maintain a classic and not modernity brand image. But I don't.

Not sure that many people agree with me/us though. I gave up personally. I stick to my old Ms and buy elsewhere when i need a tool instead of a retro camera. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure - I cannot say that I am deeply impressed by the focusing experience on an EVF in the dark and shooting red beams at the subject with AF is not very elegant either... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh but wait... having both electronically and mechanically shutter doesn't cost arms and legs nor affecting the appearance of the M. What does it have to do with "modern" not modern?
