My dealer here in Heidelberg (Germany) invited me for a Leica Store event tomorrow at 3pm CEST for "something" new. Having said that, I am not going, EVF is not for me, sold my X1DII for that reason. In the last two weeks I got very nice deals on the M11-P Safari and the M11 Monochrom which I couldn't resist. I am good for the next 10+ years.

I am going but have low expecations.

Is a an optical rangefinder on EVF hybrid as simple as this :

What makes it possible is scaling the image displayed on the EVF to be the same size as that of the contained within the frame lines of the classic viewfinder i.e. 135mm is very small and 28mm is full panel.

Here is what the EVF view would look like in hybrid EO mode:

I have started my preparations in anticipation of tomorrow's announcement  of the new, closer focus reissue of the 24mm 'Lux M :-).
Last week I started special exercise stretches  for my right hand index finger so that my dialing to a Leica dealer will be smooth as silk.
I have three alarm clocks telling me what time the announcement will happen.
Also, I thought that funding this new Leica lens would be a burden on my bank account so yesterday, shortly after noon, I drove to Boston and robbed a bank.
I am all set now.
Dr. Kaufman please don't disappoint.

At least you didn't go to Paris to rob the Louvre.

These were someone who also wanted to finance the new Noctilux lens.

Me too, I'd say that a re-issue of the now discontinued 24 lux would be fine. Even without trying to enhance it. Wonderful lens.

Well summarized, but my conclusion might differ from yours.

Of course!

That’s the thing about these speculation threads, though normally there are more “leaks”.  I’m rather pleased that this announcement still largely rests with Leica.  If the announcement is a Q3 43 M, I will sit back with my pop-corn and watch the rage and disappointment with interest!

Suits me. I want the M11-EV. I want the Q3-43M more. Problem with the second one is that K would likely also want one

Tell her there is a Q4 coming soon.

Well I can tell you it is already the 23rd here today. So I went into the worlds largest Leica Store, in Melbourne, and bought the new Leica camera.

It is an M10 with a phone in it. Simple! 😂🤩😉

Strewth! I left my hat & coat in the shop.

Must have left in a hurry.

[kiwidad]

It just hilarious! Leica rumours said tomorrow u til today and then show correspondence from Leica sent Monday saying the 22nd! They list the reason for delay they have no real evidence of as tariffs and govt shutdown in top 2 and fcc licensing for the new device. Leica would have had this device approved long before it went into production! 
 

so should I summarize what is known?

 

NOTHING!

it’s been a fun ride nowhere so far 🙂

so logically if Leica make a camera as predicted it shoulD be called the ES3

[IkarusJohn]

So, it’s 23 October, down here at least it’s coming up for 1300hrs.

The first actual confirmation from the Leica mothership that this camera is about to break cover.  If you go to leica-camera.com, click on the M system from the landing page, scroll down to the dropdown, select the M camera, and this is there:

Fwiw, If had a M11-P and a M10-R with several different lenses. But anyway, What things do think, can a M do better then  a MEV?

Focus.

Interesting that it is considered both a « Leica Rangefinder Camera » and a « Digital M-camera with EVF » 😮

Interesting, it seems that the M-EV1 name was accurate. Leica have decided to not link it to the main model line, probably a smart move even if it doesn’t slip off the tongue as smoothly as M11-V or M-V. That aside, I’m very excited to see this camera finally!

M-EV1 ?

Makes it sound as if Leica is going into competition with Tesla....

But seriously, it's interesting and all, but I just want that Visoflex 3 with the upgraded screen.

As I've commented before: it's a heck of a lot easier to put an auxiliary electronic viewfinder onto a camera with coupled rangefinder than it is to put an auxiliary coupled rangefinder onto a camera with electronic viewfinder.
