Al Brown Posted October 9, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 9, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) While we all were pretty certain M stands for Messsucher (yes, written with 3x s if you do not use ß), Leica in a surprise historic move redefined the meaning of their "M". Today, on their instagram reel, the question "What does M mean in Leica M" is clearly, evidently and distinctly answered: "M is M." Welcome, dear visitor!

SiggiGun Posted October 12, 2023 Share #9 Posted October 12, 2023 I guess this is to say "Bye-Bye" after 70 years to the Messsucher. This means that LEICA consideres now that the time of the the Masterpiece "Messsucher" in the M cameras is over and the classic M, film or digital, will be starting 2024 equiped with an EVF. Maybe that the M11 is the last one. Every ~6 years a new generation. Whatever the surprise will be for this anniversairy "70 years of Leica M" (and M-Mount!), I am excited to see what will be my birthday gift for my 70 years in 2024,... Born with Leica M3 and KODAK Tri-X. ;-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a mirror in front of the film, there will be a digital sensor providing the feed to the EVF. Press the shutter button & the sensor briefly flips up as the exposure is made...
