I spotted this M11 Beta tester at the weekend and not only did he have a fully functional camera with him but he was also testing a full range of Leica gear that will form part of an extensive accessory range, from stylish beard products, goggles that give 'the Leica look' without even having to take a photo, and new cases and gadget bags! He didn't want to give anything away, and branding was blanked out, but we can spot the much rumoured chain mechanism to give autofocus to M lenses. What will appeal to many is the ability to literally blow smoke out of the camera, something we've waited too long for!

In the German automobile world called an "Erlkönig".

You're in big trouble my friend. Images of this camera were supposed to be embargoed.

I was waiting for Jono for a full review; but your shot is excellent with beautiful colors!

Somehow I thought @jonoslack looks different.

Looks like you caught him red handed...

I nominate this guy to be the official Steampunk 2022 Photographer. Great photo, by the way.

The perfect story

I worry about the power requirements of the rumoured IBIS sensor based on the external battery pack he's carrying.

(And the new backwards-compatible Visolflex is not as small as I was hoping 😀)

I thought that the Erl King was Scandinavian (Pier Gynt, etc)

I notice that  250swb is living in the Peak District, an old stomping ground of mine (Boy Scouts); I also lived in north Derbyshire for eight years.The gentleman with the decorative dress has an intriguing device pinned over his left breast pocket. If this photograph was taken to the east of Macclesfield I have to ask.  Is that crystal the original Weird Stone of Bresingamen? 👽

I think a lot of users are going to be unhappy with that strap - bound to cause 'rubbing' marks!
