Perhaps the EVF-M allows cropping on its LCD. The smartphones are miles ahead of the M.

I was not thinking of cropping in that sense. When using RF, I sometimes need to crop as I took more scenery than desired. With an evf, i know what i get.

As a glass wearer, it is hard to see what I get in the EVF. When shoting landscapes on tripod, I prefer using rear LCD for precise framing, which you can do with M11 as well.

Back to the subject at hand. I now wonder if 23 October is even click bait and nothing will happen.

Leica can hardly present the EVF-M as a milestone without incurring the wrath of the RealLeicaMan, i suppose. I don't expect any tectonic announcement, but i could be wrong...

I have no problems seeing what's in the EVF with my glasses on. 

I have only problems with seeing all the corners without moving my head around. It may depend on the glasses as well. For the same reason, I do not use M's OVF with anything wider than 35mm.

Alright, people, let's be honest: "milestone." The word alone! It sounds like sandals, togas, and the sweat of Roman legionaries... While we're hurtling through the air in a jet at 1,200 km/h, we're still talking about a "milestone" when a software update runs without crashing? That's like celebrating a marathon victory with an ancient bronze toad you just found.


We live in a world that is so fast-paced that we post all our milestones on Instagram before the stone is even properly set in the ground. Let’s retire the metaphor. It served its purpose, but now it's as redundant as a paper map in a self-driving car.

In that case, what is your suggested superior replacement?

  • A "High-Fives-Only" Finish Line: Because it's not a real achievement until someone's hand gets slapped.
  • The "We-Didn't-Fail-Yet" Marker: A more honest, albeit less motivational, way to track progress.
  • The "Wait, That Actually Worked?" Moment: A project management phenomenon that occurs once in a blue moon.

Boys... it's just around one week from THE doomsday.. and the last Friday before !  So the best thing to do (and I suspect I am the only to have done) is :

- Fly to Wetzlar

- Buy some 6-packs of good beer

- Position yourself next to Leica's offices exit

- With a discrete but smart billboard, or tablet, saying "FREE DRINK FOR MARKETING GUYS"

- Let 4 or 5 come in, open the cans and start socializing

- And everything will go as it must...

I am already next to the factory (not sure about working time on Friday...) , can't speak German but hope isn't an issue with marketing people... wait for me tonight, I'll surely have definite and trustable news. I didn't speak of this enterprise before, for I feared an intrusion by someone of the forum

But you have to get there early enough. In Germany, there's often a rule that says, "Freitag ab eins macht jeder seins" =  "Friday from 1 p.m., everyone does their thing,".

I don't think so....

I wonder how people would react if the announcement (if any) turns out to be an M shaped, L mount, EVF camera?🤯

Paul, it won't be that. Questions about battery life should be prepared, though. 

I'll be getting my first 'in person' sight of the new release in Canada. 

6 days to go.
