Ko.Fe. Posted February 3, 2022 Share #41 Posted February 3, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Depends where your garage is. If in Germany, sure, Porsche. If if Canada, M is not even Lamborghini (they have somewhat service in Canada). Leica M it just Lada here. No parts, no service anymore in Canada (second largest country in the World).

I’m sorry Ko.Fe. What are you saying here? Leica are in Canada aren’t they? Leica M is Leica M and the product isn’t changed by being in Canada. Can you please explain the meaning of your post?

Here is nothing really to explain. No service in country, means no presence in this country. And all of those cars clutches talks in the camera subforum. I don't think Bruce Gilden has garage stuffed with porsches. And Winogrand was driving fast .. his Ms. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted February 4, 2022 Share #45 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, SrMi said: What about Leica MDa? The MDa has no Meßsucher mechanism; as such, it is not a Meßsucherkamera. The user has to either mount a non-focusing viewfinder on the hot shoe to have bright lines to compose by, or simply point the MDa in the general direction of the intended subject and hope for the best. The latter technique may inspire a new genre of photography - "Guess and Press." Welcome, dear visitor!

Perhaps Leica added the M prefix because it accepts M lenses. But, yes - let's rename it. I hereby dub this camera the Leica GP (for "Guess and Press").

I feel the same provided that the M is guided by less is more and form follows function. These are not mutually exclusive. I'm happy with the M10-R black chrome and hope Leica comes out with an M10R-P. I guess this is a wishful hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanJW Posted February 11, 2022 Share #55 Posted February 11, 2022 Okay. Let's concede that "M" means an optical rangefinder. Lets hope Leica keeps making those. But I for one would welcome a camera (call it Leica E11 or similar) that has an EVF and a M mount. I think I'm not alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
