That and the whole stick is a coffee thermos. Q would have been proud.

wait a minute - with a handgrip on the camera, you can use it as a walking stick AND a monopod at the same time!

I guess there is no timeline on this?

Not that I have heard. The current 50 Lux has an incredible rendering wide open, so I wouldn't hesitate to get it. The new one is supposed to focus closer than 70 cm like the 35 APO, but that is not important to everyone.

lovely! Do they make monopods that double as hiking sticks?

Yes - Novoflex does in association with Leki. If you have three, you can assemble them as a tripod too.

5200 posts certainly indicates a lot of interest.  Not sure if it's a record, but if not the other topic must have been a doozy!

Not even close…

But the posts per day might be a record?

Tish, Tosh. Classic chest puffing from the film fanatics.  Celluloid has been around since 1888. I'd say that thread was way the hell late to the party.  More to the point, over the actual time period of interest, 134 years, the average rate has been less than 600 posts a year. You'd think after over a century of waiting for it to open, there would have been far more activity.  OTOH, this discussion, around something that up until a couple of days ago was purely speculative, has accelerated to light speed faster than a photon from a flash bulb.   Face it, we won't truly know the which thread contains the most entertaining bloviation for at least another century when we can make a fair comparison. 😃

And whose fault is that? If you had just posted your review early, much of this silliness could have been avoided. 😀

Seriously, for those of us having no plan to buy the camera (at least not until we see photos from it), this thread has provided much entertainment.

Nope, the film thread has averaged 25.5 posts per day, over 8.5 years.  This thread is running about 19.3 posts per day, since last April.  But I’m sure some of your posts, Jono, are right at the top.

My local Leica store just confirmed that the visoflex will be available for purchase on launch day.  Just in case some people are looking forward to that in particular.

Did they tell you its resolution and confirm it is backward compatible?

☝️Yep! In Germany though. — PS: Posted just to elevate the post per day ratio in this thread. 😁

You can just mount the Leki photoadapter onto one of your poles if you have recent ones with the Aergon handles. It replaces just the top part of the pommel not the strap/grip and has a brass-threaded insert under a dust cap which takes a tripod-thread widget.

Eventually? Meaning M10-R needs a software update?

I believe so.

One question for the M11 owners - in live view is the shutter lag gone when using the e-shutter? Surely having to close, then re-open the shutter each time is eliminated now so this should mean instantaneous shots correct?

And how do you select 1/8000, 1/16000sec - do you need to go into the menu for this or can you assign the scroll-wheel to select the e-shutter speeds?

Nope.  They said everything will be announced on the 13th along with the price.  They also said they are getting less silver m11s in so if you want a silver one you might not get it as soon as the black ones.
