Is this an older camera that I don’t recognize or could this be the m11v or whatever its name will be? Welcome, dear visitor!

It looks more like variations of the Q. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big questions in my mind are price point and body design. if it takes the more likely route and comes in at current M11 pricing and current M11 body size… hard to say. If some rumors are right and it comes in slightly smaller and (dare to dream) closer to Q in pricing… game changer in my mind. Who knows but I can’t imagine Leica releasing anything new until the crazy tariff issue is resolved. John Well, Leica might give some thought to the international economic situation but they sell worldwide. The USA is about the same size as their internal German market, for instance. I don’t see this interfering with any introduction planning short-term. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look to be a current Q3-43, Q3, and either a yet to be announced Q3 Reporter Edition or an older Q2 Reporter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flu Posted April 11 Share #1464 Posted April 11 I've been taking a long break (2 yrs +) from shooting any photos with real cameras and lenses. Mainly on my phone or DJI pocket3 nowadays. If this camera (EVF - M) does actually come to fruition, I think I have to make a resurrection! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with a phone - it’s still the thing I use most if I just want to capture the memory. The fact is, in this day and age, it’s unrivalled in terms of size and convenience vs quality of image - especially if you’re not intending to do extensive post work. I also discovered the ‘slowing down’ notion of photography is not actually controlled by a camera type like a rangefinder, it’s a mindset. You can be as quick as you like with an M, or as slow as you like with a phone or even dslr. Nothing forces you to press the shutter, I’m just usually in a rush capturing my son or whatever where the creative image is less important than the memory. Getting on topic I’ve been following the evf rumours. Probably wouldn’t buy one but I kept my lens for now just in case. They’d have to improve a lot of areas beyond a viewfinder change. But in my humble opinion the biggest mistake Leica could make is reduce the specs of the evf version like photographers that like evf somehow need or want a dumbed down or reduced spec model compared to the rangefinder. It should be the flagship or at least parallel. Seeing how my m11 performed combined with my experience of the q3 I’m not holding my breath for a great user experience or anything cutting edge. 100% certainty it will be at least twice the cost of any similarly spec’d rival.

Smogg Posted April 21 Share #1471 Posted April 21 It seems odd that despite the approaching beginning of May, there are no new leaks about the EVF-M. No onlookers and/or other enthusiasts have seen testers with these cameras in major cities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovegenrefilms Posted April 21 Share #1473 Posted April 21 I'm really looking forward to this camera. Hope we see something soon. I'm really tempted by a used M11 but I want to hold out and see what this looks like. Does anyone think that since it is rumored to have an electronic viewfinder, it might be more in line price wise with something like an sl3? Any chance Leica would use the sensor that is in the Lumix S1rii? That would be a an interesting surprise? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance Leica would use the sensor that is in the Lumix S1rii? That would be a an interesting surprise? We are on page 75 and we know as much as we knew on page 1, bar the rumoured name. If we ever see this thing then I would think it will have the 60mp sensor and just be an adapted M11. I doubt Leica will go to the effort of putting in a new sensor for a somewhat experimental camera and continue calling it an M11. The obvious route is just an M11 as we know it with a built in EVF, it’s whether that EVF brings anything new to the table in the way it performs that could be interesting.

lct Posted April 22 Share #1476 Posted April 22 The surprise would be if the EVF-M or M11-V weren't a simple copy of the M11 at a similar price with built-in Visoflex 2 but who knows, besides insiders, at least not me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
