I can't be bothered to go back and check, but my guess is there are around 70 contributors to this thread, of which 20% (14) have contributed about 80% (2625) of the posts.  It would be interesting if Admin could check - I'm sure there is a simple way of collating this data.

To a limited extent (top 4) - that info is already available on page 2 of this thread. Updates itself.

(BTW, the ancient Greeks had a word for citizens who "couldn't be bothered" to take part in the life of the city, or come to the Agora/Forum for discussions. Idites, or in the modern form, "idiots." Be thankful I could be bothered to look this up for you. 😜 ).

What? Oh!

Milestone?

I misread that as Millstone!

No, seriously, I don't really mean that: it's just too tempting a word play...

Truly: anything made by Leica that you can put an M-mount lens on, well, that's going to be a pretty good thing....

Interesting . . . for some reason that doesn’t show up on my iPad.  
Rough calculation, 4 posters account for 28% of the posts.  That sort of supports my point that there is only a very small minority of interest in this subject, or as The Bard would have said: much ado about nothing.

Was that a calculation or rather your own estimation to support your own PoV?

But there are, I suspect, plenty of others such as myself enjoying the banter while hoping for an authentic clue to what could possibly turn up in 5 days time! And hence are "bothered to take part in the city life"; albeit up to a point

I'm fascinated by the desire for something new. Few post have actually discussed its genuine viability as an image creating camera, other than assuming that it might be easier on older eyes.

The first part was a calculation: 895 posts from 4 posters.  There are now 3,395 posts so 4 people have now contributed 27.16%.

But my "POV" was just attempted humour in response to @Stef63 comment that this event is reaching intergalactic levels.  Outside of our little community, I doubt there is that much interest, but we can still have fun amongst ourselves.

Anyway... " ...of which 20% (14) have contributed about 80% (2625)..." is in accord with the well known "Pareto rule"😉

Post #3103 by frameit on page 156. I believe this leak to be very close if not exact specs to the speculated camera.

I have no idea who "frameit" actually is so any post outside of official Leica comments are useless to most of us.

Even Leica Rumors site has been useless since the 16th of October passed without Leica announcing a Q3M as the site proclaimed.

As much as we can like them, rangefinders have intrinsical limits that are well known, especially with long focal lengths. I don't expect the EVF-M to be basically different to the M11 with Visoflex 2 in this respect but an EVF with more resolution would be welcome i guess, even if i don't need it personally.

And they have benefits such as highly accurate focus with wide lenses. As I keep saying, they work well within their envelope. But cameras are all about trade-offs and its rare to find that one advantage isn't balanced out by a different disadvantage.

All this thread is really about is form factor. The question is whether form factor is sufficiently buyable to overcome limitations.
