FrozenInTime Posted November 4, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 4, 2021 Why is the CL not on the list ? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL JIm Posted November 4, 2021 Share #3 Posted November 4, 2021 The TL2 is still attractive to the younger aged iPhone crowd, and definitely should included in this survey. Hopefully the TL2 will continue in production - it was my entry point with Leica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUF Admin Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted November 4, 2021 Having TL2 or CL not on the list doesn't mean that your opinion is less important! When making up a survey it's always a balance of usability and covering all possible options. Please use the „Other Leica camera …“ option!

mreddington Posted November 4, 2021 Share #5 Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Fully agree that the APS-C cameras are a major omission. I hope this doesn‘t mean that Leica is abandoning this format. I would very much like to see a CL2 with IBIS. I used the Other Leica Camera option. Edited November 4, 2021 by mreddington 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblues68 Posted November 4, 2021 Share #6 Posted November 4, 2021 The omission of the CL is noteworthy. I would be in the market for a CL with IBIS and a tilt-screen but have now accepted it seems a forlorn hope. I found the survey disconcerting. I do not use just one Leica model and I use each about the same but for different uses. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichola joseph Posted November 4, 2021 Share #7 Posted November 4, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) As someone who has had an M9 and M type 240 and being a particular fan of the 50mm 0.9 noctilux; as much as I love the Leica M and it’s form factor, it’s needs an evf for help with focussing. I’m 55 and my eyesight is not good enough. But the system has the cheap plastic and awkward ugly look of an afterthought that is the current external evf. It should be internal and integrated. Until that happens I’ll stick to my Canon R 5. But I genuinely adored the form factor of the little M system. Especially with the 50mm 1.4 Summilux. Perfect combo. And was prepared to pay a premium. So, sorry Leica. Sold all my lenses and cameras long ago because I know you’re not going to do what I want. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjhringmer Posted November 4, 2021 Share #8 Posted November 4, 2021 As an M246/240 and a also an M film user which were not on the list, I found it difficult to make constructive comment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willeica Posted November 4, 2021 Share #9 Posted November 4, 2021 This survey is aimed at a younger audience. For someone of my age and style of photography I found it difficult to make a useful comment. William 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted November 4, 2021 Share #10 Posted November 4, 2021 I completed the form, using the last option, for a CL - my most used camera. All my answers (except the one about the SL) referred to that. The questions that asked for no more that three keywords were a challenge. So I used more than three words! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojay Posted November 4, 2021 Share #11 Posted November 4, 2021 I completed the form using last option for the CL, because the only LEICA I am interested in going forward is a CL2. M10R will be my last M and I have no interest in a SL2 successor. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have besides the Leica ME (which I'm selling) 240; the Leica MP and M3 a Sony A7III with Techart Adapter. I can tell you that (1) the EVF on the Sony is pleasing (2) the techart adapter let's me use my lenses with the focus system of Sony and it works almost perfect (including the eye-AF for people and animals). I think Leica should learn from this as most of us get a bit older and, yes, eyesight can be a bore, problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted November 4, 2021 Share #14 Posted November 4, 2021 As a survey for Leica Product Development, it is exceedingly narrow in its outlook. It provides yet more evidence that Leica is an extremely fragmented company when it comes to mainstream products. The survey seems to have been sponsored by the S and SL teams which, unsurprisingly, are still in place. I doubt you would find a door within Leica which opens into CL design. I guess the designers have been deployed elsewhere, as were the Leica X and X Vario teams. More than ever, I would have thought, that cross-fertilization of ideas would have been a huge benefit to a niche designer. The questions not asked in this future product survey, tell you all you need to know about the future direction for Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 4, 2021 Share #15 Posted November 4, 2021 This is a severely biased survey, you put a film camera as your main camera and get asked about swivel displays. I wonder if anybody at Leica know they make film cameras? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted November 4, 2021 Share #18 Posted November 4, 2021 Does seem rather restricted in its aims, after all I had to tick 'other' to enter my most used Lecia camera - an M10M. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
