Advertisement Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Hi Mahesh, Take a look here A New Year Wish for the M System. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Let me even go one step further and describe you my DREAM camera right now: M10D with a 5.76 million dots EVF instead of the OVF/RF, with the option to set focus peaking to low/medium/high. Add to that the option to set auto shutoff to 30 secs (current min time is 2 mins), and I've reached Leica Nirvana. absolutely and I will add no more than 24 MPs please. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cirke Posted February 15, 2021 Share #224 Posted February 15, 2021 There are rumours of a new Visolflex for the M10, maybe the one on the Q2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only thing that would make me come back to the M I left after the M240. and we're not the only ones 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you leave for ? Leica CL and Sony A7R3 (I pretty hare this camera) The store takes back all my Sony and I take an SL2 which should arrive at the end of the week. I prefer the M but rangefinders are completely unsuitable for Noctilux lenses and 50mp sensors. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 15, 2021 Share #228 Posted February 15, 2021 The next Visoflex will be outdated at its launch the same way as it was with both M240 and M10 i fear. If wish it could compete with that of the CL at least but i don't hold my breath. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirke Posted February 15, 2021 Share #229 Posted February 15, 2021 Id like to see the Sony A1 EVF on the next CL2 ... but It would be too good to be true 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of M users, including me, would disagree. In my experience (20+ years of Noctilux M shooting) the problem is not with focusing, but rather with being able to hold the camera perfectly still. With the Noctilux wide open and close to the subject, dof is about 1/8th of an inch. The slightest movement toward or away from what you have focused on will result in your subject being unsharp. The only solution to that is continuous autofocus, not an EVF. Edited February 15, 2021 by fotografr 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already the Noctilux with M240 , but it was only 24 mp not 50 mp , and why would you do that when it is easier with an EVF ? and now there is a 75 Noctilux Edited February 15, 2021 by cirke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not understanding why it would be easier with an EVF. I'm getting along just fine with this combination. There's a fairly long thread of images taken with the Noctilux on M bodies. It would seem there are a lot of people who also enjoy this combination. https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/297666-show-us-your-noctilux-wide-open-shots/ Edited February 15, 2021 by fotografr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 15, 2021 Share #233 Posted February 15, 2021 As curious as it may sound 50/0.95 is not the most difficult lens as far as RF focusing. Lenses like 90/2, 75/1.4, let alone 75/1.25 , 90/1.5 or 135/3.4, are more demanding. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirke Posted February 15, 2021 Share #234 Posted February 15, 2021 Good for them but some would like to have a native EVF or hybrid EVF and as said I know the noctilux I have posted here on the forum some photos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to open up the menu to change the drive mode somehow takes the feeling of "reducing it to das Wesentliche" slightly away for me. I love the hardware drive mode close to the shutter button. Perfect design! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
