I hope they make it much cleaner, and remove everything that is not required, instead of making something 'fake' just to ape traditional design. I always find it amusing how they do this, when the original designs were pure function. This is what the M should be -aka the essential. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theseus79 Posted March 22 Share #888 Posted March 22 https://leicarumors.com/2025/03/22/leica-m11-v-is-the-name-of-the-rumored-leica-m-camera-with-evf-and-the-official-announcement-is-coming-soon.aspx/ The name of the upcoming Leica M camera with EVF is rumored to be Leica M11-V. Some internal sources referred to the camera as Leica M-V, but I believe the final model version will be Leica M11-V, just like the M11-D, M11-P, and the M11-M (the M with EVF model will be based on the M11-P). The official announcement is coming soon: the latest beta version of the Leica Fotos App already contains references for the Leica M11-V model, which suggests the official announcement will be in the next few weeks.

Robert Blanko Posted March 22 Share #889 Posted March 22 I hope that before issuing any EVF-M they will fix the issue that even with the current firmware from time to time photos appear rotated by 180 degrees. Otherwise, this might be rather confusing in the electronic viewfinder... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted March 22 Share #894 Posted March 22 (edited) It could keep an optical viewfinder window as well. After all the Barnacks had two viewfinders: one for framing, and one for focusing. Edited March 22 by LocalHero1953 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw3 Posted March 23 Share #895 Posted March 23 Just saw this seems plausible https://leicarumors.com/2025/03/22/leica-m11-v-is-the-name-of-the-rumored-leica-m-camera-with-evf-and-the-official-announcement-is-coming-soon.aspx/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkleshark Posted March 23 Share #896 Posted March 23 Hope it has a big super big super highrez viewfinder-a new standard better and bigger than what is in the marketplace now for those of us with glasses and aging eyesight. Something like that might not fit the traditional M aesthetic but boy would it be fun to use and be different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it's an issue with focussing on the RF, more framing is where the problems are [for me anyway]. Hopefully soon we will this camera, and if it isn what I need I think it will be the end of me and M cameras, and off I go to Auto land where the L mount shines.

adan Posted March 23 Share #900 Posted March 23 2 hours ago, evikne said: The EVF viewfinder seems to be right on the other side, so you won't be able to see through it, I guess? Umm - what? The posted "leaked" M11-V picture is of the back of the camera. And the viewfinder eyepiece (top-left on the back) is pretty much exactly where it is on every other M since 1954 (except, since lct will correct me if I leave them out, the "blind" MD/MDa/MD-2 "technical" M cameras for use on telescopes, microscopes, etc. 🤪 ). ..................... IF TRUE AND ACCURATE: 1) it is interesting that, since an EVF can be crammed in anywhere, Leica chose to stick with the 70-year-old "PITA for left-eye-dominant photographers," top-left corner EVF eyepiece. It could easily have been centered, providing "equal inconvenience for everyone." But since all the other "looks like a Leica M" EVF cameras (Fuji X series, Leica P&S, misc. others) also inconvenience left-eyed photographers, I guess it just is part of "retaining the M experience/connection." Won't bother me - I am right-eye-dominant anyway. 2) the image showing the focus aid option of a computer-graphics-simulation of a split/coincident-image focus-aid is very intriguing. Bottom right among the four viewfinder options images. Depends on how well the actual execution conforms to the publicity photo. Fuji tried this, but I found it fuzzy, useless, slow, and unbelievably "low rent" compared to the real deal. Almost as "low rent" as the color-crayon-scribbles known as "focus peaking." 😆 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
