lct Posted June 9, 2018 Share #261 Posted June 9, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not sure why APS-C owners would be miffed about the launch of any FF camera but the LR's June statement with a link to a lack of news from April does not sound that emphatic to me. YMMV. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags27 Posted June 9, 2018 Share #262 Posted June 9, 2018 Not sure why APS-C owners would be miffed about the launch of any FF camera but the LR's June statement with a link to a lack of news from April does not sound that emphatic to me. YMMV. well, a small-form FF mirrorless camera taking L lenses would be an obvious, not inevitable, but obvious alternative for any APS-C owner, with the exception of those wanting the extra focal length for birding, etc. yes, the link is to the lenses, not the camera but that could just be a mistake. and since then, LR has quite emphatically restated his claim: The last construction phase of Leitz Park is now completed. You can visit the new building complex on Sunday, June 17th. I think the official opening will happen a few days before that, together with the announcement of the rumored Leica C-M mirrorless camera and possibly a few other new products (see the full list of expected products here).

Well if this specific rumour turns out to be true there will be many others raving about it as well. I doubt it will happen this time, but I think it's inevitable within next year or two. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I suggest he’s all Huff puff. Why would he rebuy the 3 year old SL two weeks ago but not wait just a little longer. He’s having wet dreams over the mooted CM which ‘is real, and will be amazing’. He clearly has no inside knowledge of this, just what’s just been posted on Leica Rumors.

Chaemono Posted June 11, 2018 Share #273 Posted June 11, 2018 He got a great deal, i.e. it was heavily discounted. He therefore has a hunch that a new FF L-mount body will be announced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppyman Posted June 11, 2018 Share #276 Posted June 11, 2018 So he bought the SL again 2 weeks ago? Then I suggest he’s all Huff puff.

He clearly has no inside knowledge of this, just what’s just been posted on Leica Rumors. Early adopter of the SL as well here and did grind my teeth when the body price dropped so much later on. IF this rumoured CM appears, I don't think it will be competing directly with the CL, certainly not on price. I can't imagine that it would sell for less than the SL or M10 for example. Again IF it appears, it might be the 'more elegant, less axe! SL that Dr Kaufmann mentioned in his earlier interview, and supplant the SL body in the range all together. I got the petite CL as a travel camera anyway and it seems to me the new Summicron SL lenses might coexist nicely on there too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcracer Posted June 11, 2018 Share #277 Posted June 11, 2018 My Leica dealer who must be in the top 10 for volume globally is 80% confident that this camera is for real and will be announced this week in Germany. I'm first in line if the camera gets announced. As an M10 owner, this new CM is my dream camera (M shaped body with external control dials, FF, and a good EVF). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted June 11, 2018 Share #278 Posted June 11, 2018 BTW, how does one salvage for years? Very loose usage of salvaging, where you scan a pile of unwanted (eg damaged) items and pick one that has value to you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LichtUndDunkelheit Posted June 11, 2018 Share #280 Posted June 11, 2018 49mm would be tight, indeed. The user in post #2192 here https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/261949-leica-sl-or-hasselblad-x1d/page-110 thinks it's 51mm. The 48.8mm is from Wikipedia. I would guess 51mm is probably the outer diameter, which IMHO isnt really of interest. I think the L mount offers plenty space for any optic for 36x24mm and was designed for this even when the Leica T was released, but Leica never planned to support 45x30mm as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
