Jeff S Posted November 2, 2019 Share #21 Posted November 2, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Earlier reports also suggested an updated SL lens roadmap. That would help. But the anticipated S3 is now listed on the Leica site as Spring, 2020. Some speculate the delay might allow for the incorporation of the Maestro III processor, which would be an improvement from the disclosed specs at last year’s Photokina.

Advertisement Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Hi Jeff S, Take a look here The new Leica Milestone. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
maxfairclough Posted November 2, 2019 Share #22 Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) It's a new SL and a 49MP M11. Edited November 2, 2019 by maxfairclough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoMatthew Posted November 5, 2019 Share #24 Posted November 5, 2019 I heard it's a lower res version of the M10-D that creates images with a more vintage look and feel. It uses physical storage devices with limited storage space, that require extra processing before viewing the images. The rumor is, it will have a functional advance lever instead of just a thumb rest like the current M10-D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the new Milestone presented by Leica bei Meister is for the M11. Personally I would like to see a built-in EVF with peaking to replace the rangefinder (providing the peaking technology is equal or better than the rangefinder).

stevieboy Posted November 5, 2019 Share #26 Posted November 5, 2019 Just dreaming, no thought that this one will happen ever, let alone tomorrow, but I want a QMonochrom. And as long as I'm making stuff up, with a 35mm lens. But a 28 would be okay too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you want to change ISO you need to insert another storage device with the corresponding ISO value. In addition, there are special procedures to follow when changing storage devices that are partially filled. But an M7-style, manually cocked shutter would be nice in a digital body.

For me I don't need it for free, because it is nowhere near optical VF/RF. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An EVF M would need to have vast improvements on existing EVFs before it could replace the wonderful Leica RF. William I don’t think I’ve read anywhere the suggestion that the traditional RF M camera would be replaced by an EVF version. Leica has already established with the CL and SL that an EVF based camera is viable, and we already have established with the Visoflex that there are circumstances where the EVF is useful on an M camera (though I use my rarely on my M10-D). I’m sure, like the impossible shoehorning a full frame sensor into an M camera, Leica could fit a good EVF into the space in the top of an M (where the RF mechanism lives). But I can’t imagine Leica discontinuing the RF for such a camera - that would be very odd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just addressing the possible issues for achieving a workable EVF M. I hope that this clarifies this issue. A really groundbreaking development would be a camera with computational features and full communications functions, but that would not seem to be likely at this stage. I would not be the target market for such a device, as my main interest is in vintage cameras, but it would be nice to see Leica or some other company set some really new paradigms in what has become a very 'tired' market for digital cameras.

An EVF M would need to have vast improvements on existing EVFs before it could replace the wonderful Leica RF. William I wholeheartedly agree William. I was able to get an advanced look at the SL2, and it is a wonderful camera, but no replacement for my M10. I would however consider getting one as a second camera and more suited to use as a studio camera. The M10 is just about perfect for me size wise, and I can carry several lenses all day comfortably. The older I get, the less likely I am to carry a heavy load of gear on my shoulder. The only reason I would seriously consider the SL2 is IBIS. Using my more "difficult" M lenses wide open and the elimination of camera shake is very attractive. We'll have to see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
