Just saw that the Leica MD has been discontinued. Does this mean that a new version is coming or that I’m the only one who bought one? I continue to love this camera. Pure traditional and simple photography experience recording in silicon versus silver. I would love this camera in monochrome version. Will there be a new version based on the M10 body? Thanks. m.

Already discuted in this thread: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/281440-m-d-discontinued/

 

At post #24, my thinking quote, here

 

 

M10-D was on my wish-list before buying/using M-D.

 

Now I doubt if I'll buy one (M10-D if that's the new name) as:

- nothing I can complain about the M-D

- I appreciate the looonnnggg battery life of M-D, maybe less with the will-be-released M10-D

- the handling is as good as can be with some time using it, no need of thinner body

 

- my next step would be later M-10 Monochrom, better yet if it's available with no LCD screen

 

 

 

Same thing for M240 family : https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/283864-m-p240-vanished-on-leica-website-is-the-m-p10-arriving/
