hexx Posted October 23 Share #3645 Posted October 23 Alright then, thank you for the replies. Let's wait and see. Was planning to go to Red Dot Cameras but the weather outside is miserable. Not leaving the flat today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgk Posted October 23 Share #3648 Posted October 23 Perhaps Leica could adopt a variation of Nikon's DS-12 to control autofocus https://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf2/accessories/ds12/index.htm rather than aperture, using an electronic rangefinder. Of course a different version would be needed for each lens ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a form factor optimized version of today's cine world focus motor rigs https://www.dji.com/uk/focus-pro https://www.smallrig.com/uk/Wireless-Follow-Focus-Kit-Lite-4296B.html some M lenses are already sold with 0.8 gear rings https://dzofilm.co.uk/simera-c/ or a gear band can be attached.

Piece of cake then😁. (Actually some of my (not Leica) lenses have gears attached for use in underwater housings. Unfortunately there is no standardisation for their spec so each manufacturer designs their own.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreiPunkte Posted October 23 Share #3652 Posted October 23 The good thing is that the lack of rangefinder windows gives you additional room for customization and creativity. For example, a black and a red dot if you can't decide. Welcome, dear visitor!

A M and an a M EV will - ceteris paribus - produce the same outcome. And there will be probably nothing the M can do better the M EV. What do you know about the pure enjoyment the M is bringing to me? Yeah, hard to measure and compare, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
