They are a pro dealer and not a normal retail shop. They are good to deal with on my experience.

To be precise, Red Dot is:

As I said

Ok, but you also said 'more geared to selling to pros'. I don't see that. 

The London delivery service is for ANY customer, not just 'pros' as you stated.

Indeed. The inventory seems much more targeted at amateur Leica users and collectors.

Red Dot are an authorised 3rd party Leica dealer. I’ve been to the shop a couple of times when I’m in London and the staff are very friendly and chatty. They also have some cool old stuff on display in a ‘museum’ section. I think their target market is anyone who wants Leica gear. Surprised that Mayfair do not have an event though.

Yeah, that's the bit I find confusing. Unless they've done it as an invite only for a select few VIP customers. I'm on their mailing list so they usually spam me with stuff I don't want/need but haven't received anything. Probably need to shop more often there  I hope they don't want to become Rolex (but let's not go there, this is a camera forum).

Need to go to Regent street anyway this weekend so might visit Mayfair store while I'm around there.

It is a look at the light of the scene to be able to estimate the f/stop.

M-lenses cannot tell the used f/stop to the camera.

+1 about the (round) brightness sensor but what about the (rectangular) rangefinder window?

... it is certainly the window for the good old German "Kuckuck" 🫣

At current most members of LUF are reading this thread, while Andreas most probably opened a new subforum already… 

joking aside, esthetics are great for this camera

Looking at the product page, I don't see anything groundbreaking - zoom, peaking and that's it. Am I missing something? From what I've seen in videos, this pretty much is Q with M mount. No idea what RF window is for. Frame selector is for crop selection.

Most important, fundamental, central, pivotal question of all......

 

 

 

How will I look while using this camera? 

Will it make me look fat?

So the MEV1 looks like what some of us used to suggest, an entry camera for the M system.

£6840 in the UK   delivery 2-3 days. So what we have is Q with M mount for more than Q. Zero innovation. Speechless

Just my impression - it doesn't really matter.

Yup, that just about sums it up.  Add a 28mm or 35mm lens (not easy taking photos without a lens) and it’s more than double the price of the Q, and no little auto focus helper for those failing eyes.

Did anyone catch the EV specs?

If they put that screen in a Visoflex 3, will it be an upgrade?

That's what I'm looking for...
