For this I have the perfect camera. It's called an iPhone. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w44neg Posted April 22, 2021 Share #283 Posted April 22, 2021 If true, this rumour makes me even more happy I own the M10-R. It's a wonderful camera, and 41MP is the absolute perfect amount for me. Any more in the M11-R down the line and the files will be crazy in size, and I love the grain the the M10-R produces; it's genuinely very random and reminds me a lot of film. If they add IBIS I'll buy an M11, otherwise I don't feel the need currently to replace my camera, but I hope it sells well nonetheless. Typically I've just ordered a Visoflex 020 for my M10-R today; I would hope the next version might be smaller overall and offer more definition. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With life view, it is no problem to shoot macro with a digital M. I do this frequently. But I never needed to get that close. Probably because I am using a tele (80mm) for macro, not a wide angle lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted April 23, 2021 Share #285 Posted April 23, 2021 Macro and proxi photo are not the same things. Focusing all the way from 0.3m to infinity opens new possibilities like those provided by M lenses on bodies with shorter registration distance. Here at about 0.2m with a Super-Angulon 21/3.4 (Sony A7r2 mod). https://photos.smugmug.com/Diverse/n-QFBj4/Sony-A7r2-Leica-2134-pre-asph/i-mvJs5W6/0/75e24780/X5/DSC00157_si-X5.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabosdad Posted April 23, 2021 Share #289 Posted April 23, 2021 The no ibis makes me sad, I have tremors and I can manage the q2 . I have tried every trick short to bolting a m camera to my head, I am still a 80 to 90 percent blur rate. I have only rented the q2, If found it in stock that I didn’t have to go through PayPal (really hate PayPal) I would scoop it up in a heartbeat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabosdad Posted April 23, 2021 Share #292 Posted April 23, 2021 That is what I love about Leica people, they have been there, done that, and solved the problem years ago. Thank you so much. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one is going to be a smart-arse - don't forget to include the "smart" part. Cartier-Bresson may have said that in 1998 - but he was practicing it in his pictures as early as 1932 (age 24).

Actually it was HCB who was kidding, but a smiley should have been part of my post: “He had his little Leica,” [fashion photographer Helmut] Newton remembers, “and he simply would point and shoot.” Since Cartier-Bresson’s hand isn’t as steady as it used to be, some of the pictures were a bit fuzzy. “Sharpness,” he told Newton, “is a bourgeois concept.” Newton sits back and laughs: “I thought that was just divine.” – Dana Thomas, Newsweek, 6/1/03 Source 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted April 24, 2021 Share #296 Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Much better in context - especially vis-à-vis Newton, know for both "action-fashion" on the go, and also biting sharpness from MF negs that still puts many sensors (with or without IBIS) to shame.

colint544 Posted April 26, 2021 Share #298 Posted April 26, 2021 If, as rumoured, Leica abandon the removable baseplate with the M11, won't they have to add a door somewhere for the SD card? The removable baseplate always seemed a good way of keeping the lines of the camera clean, and the battery and SD card securely protected from harm. With practice, it's quick and easy to swap out a battery or SD card. A hinged door on an M, I don't know.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmradman Posted April 26, 2021 Share #299 Posted April 26, 2021 M camera without bottom plate would be like a new recipe Coca-Cola. Kidding aside, battery can be incorporated into the bottom like SL or Q models, decent size/capacity for slender M body is different issue if M10 thickness is to be maintained yet provided with good battery for extended shooting and external EVF. It shouldn’t be beyond company capability to develop secure memory card compartment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
