New Leica XY/CL

The lens mount reminds me of that on the M10 which is necessary to creating the correct register distance for M lenses.  Is this a mirrorless camera for M lenses?

 

 

It appears to be a new TL camera... 

 

But the back reminds that of the M10...

A lot more Leica-like than the T and SL. A rather nice design and a wise decision by Leica IMO.

 

 

This XY camera is an ugly and coarse imitation of old Leica lines and shapes. 

 

I like the T design. It is one of the most beautiful cameras in the market. It is more faithful to Leica's philosophy: simply good design (beautiful and functional).

 

The T system might need a different model with integrated EVF, but the XY is a bad joke, IMHO.

Ugly indeed but hardly more so than the SL (to me). I had a body like that in mind when i chose my Fuji X-E2 vs the Apple err. Leica T. Level of compatibility with M lenses will be my main decision factor. APS-C? Sure but when i see what my Fuji can do with M lenses it can only be better IMO.

A matter of taste, I suppose. I like the black model, always did on the X series. The T does not ring my bell at all, nor does the SL.
