trequartista Posted January 12, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 12, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Since I lost trace in the M11 thread and I am mainly interested in the new Visoflex 2, I though it makes sense to start a new thread. What do we know about it except the price of 695 Euro? Will it be backwards compatible with the Leica M10? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Hi trequartista, Take a look here Leica Visoflex 2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
strohscw Posted January 12, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2022 According to the information that has surfaced, it is supposed to be backwards compatible with the M10, but to what extent (image stabilization?) is not yet known. It is supposed to have about 3.7 Mpx. As far as I have seen, the Q2 also has a viewfinder with 3.69 Mpx, maybe this is the same. Tomorrow we should get more information. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted January 12, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 12, 2022 It was indicated that M10 will need a software update to support the new Visoflex 2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMyers Posted January 13, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 13, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Do we expect it to work on all models of the M10, including the first, original, M10? If so, other than lower height and probably greater resolution, in what ways might it be better than the current M10 Visoflex? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would expect at least support in M10-P. The form is better, AFAIK. The resolution is higher, and maybe the refresh rate is better. Mostly speculations from my side. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I have seen, the Q2 also has a viewfinder with 3.69 Mpx, maybe this is the same. If true I'm sated for now with this Visoflex 2 as the sole upgrade, and will consider upgrade only at the M11-P or M12 mark. I've not seen anything in the leaked specs for the M11 to entice me from my M10-R BP and M10-M. But upgrading the Visoflex for resolution alone is tempting, and if higher refresh comes with that too all the better (though it would be interesting to see what the battery drain is like on the power-hungry M10-R/M compared to Visoflex typ 020).

wolan Posted January 13, 2022 Share #13 Posted January 13, 2022 The new Visoflex on the M10 with the old batteries will be pretty much useless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

omega1848 Posted January 13, 2022 Share #15 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Interesting point, there might be some truth in there, the new Visoflex might need more juice then the old one? Or it might be the opposite? Maybe it got better electronics which are more efficient, even so it has a higher resolution? Can't wait to test it out. In addition to that the main question will be the frame rate on the M11 vs. on any M10? The same? Or will be the M10 have more lag/ reduced frame rate?

OLED, higher refresh rate, bigger eye relief....I wouldn't be so sure. They made it better, which isn't the same as more 'efficient'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
