Advertisement Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 Hi Steven, Take a look here Leica M11 - your next camera? {MERGED}. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ConfusedLens Posted November 22, 2021 Share #3022 Posted November 22, 2021 Just now, Steven said: why ? I'm catching myself shooting too fast. I turn off my screen (hence the 10-D purchase) but it's just too easily to fast shoot. Film just slows me down with the lever action + cost/energy of getting your output. I haven't shot film in a decade + but yet bought the Leica mp 0.72 when it came out and took it out for a day. So I hope the M11 takes awhile to force me to enjoy this purchase. It's a physiological thing. 😇 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a physiological thing. 😇 I partly understand the reasoning. Film indeed slows down a bit, however putting a SD card with only 2gb free memory partly does the same thing I jus hope you won't regret selling the M10-D. It is hard to find (again) and it feels so nice next to using a film camera. Good luck with your mp! It seems you still have plenty of lenses to pick 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closest digital thing to the pacing and aesthetics of film. And now, I don't know if I'd want any digital camera except one with a Foveon sensor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not before the camera is announced + specs revealed and everybody vents their frustrations and praise here first. And then, after it ships, the form factor, field use and bugs reports. Will take years. Edited November 22, 2021 by Al Brown 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all Leica equipment or L-mount and not film (where you can post non-Leica).

While everyone awaits with anticipation the new M11, Leica, like every other major product company with divisions of engineers, product planners, product managers, product developers and purchasers are hard at work on the next iterations of M, IE: M11M, M12 and so forth as the M11 field test cameras have been out in the wild for almost a year now and final spec has been signed off and the front line engineers and product developers have been immersed in the next iteration of M bodies for a good 18 months or more.

True. A very good friend of mine has been field testing the M11 for several months and has just given me permission to post this photo of the prototype in his possession. It's got a 400MP sensor.

Has that issue been resolved? not even "high" but "highish." My dp Merrills shouldn't be shot over ISO 400. The new ones are better, but Foveon is still in "film" ISO territory. Okay with me. Results are worth it. If the hoped for FF Foveon L mount can somehow manage IBIS, all will be forgiven. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SD-14 has had its Sigma lens mount replaced with a Leica R-mount and I took these two shots with my 60/2.8 Macro-Elmarit-R . Pete. Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted November 24, 2021 Share #3040 Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Very nice. DP2 Merrill pic linked below. Great sensor but i don't use mine above 400 iso due to digital noise. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-Khg4fb7/1/5f1358fc/X4/i-Khg4fb7-X4.jpg Edited November 24, 2021 by lct 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
