So far, the discussion was interesting, but now it has become cheesy 🤪. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted Monday at 08:46 AM Share #2702 Posted Monday at 08:46 AM A matter of proper priorities. This camera will be ephemeral but cheese is forever. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly there are plenty of sliced, white, plastic-wrapped loaves in supermarkets, but we have a good bread shop within walking distance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

French cheese is better in France, especially since Brexit, which means we only get the stuff that travels well - finding decent Brie is impossible here. Baron Bigod from Suffolk, often sold as a substitute, is a bit too harsh for me. It's hard to make bad fresh bread, so fresh bread is usually excellent in most countries. The problem here has been the loss of the habit of regularly buying local bread, and so the loss of local bakers. Some of those that have returned stick to sourdough, which is OK, but a bit limited.

IkarusJohn Posted Monday at 07:46 PM Share #2711 Posted Monday at 07:46 PM Now on to 136 pages. For a niche camera that will appeal only to a handful of Leica diehards, there seems to be a lot of interest here; unless, of course, it’s the vocal few hoping for the camera they really want - a full frame, L mount CL. Here’s a newsflash - Leica released that camera in 2015, with the SL(601) a camera with L mount, optimised for M lenses and with R and M mount adapters (remember the furious R users?). So, what diehard CL users want is a smaller SL? I fully understand CL users being pissed off (I still have a TL2, which I think is the better camera), but making an L mount M camera? You can’t be serious. I seem to recall Jono floating this idea some time ago, then realising it was a bad idea. To recap - we have a mountain of M lenses, we have M cameras dating back to 1954, and Visoflexes for the M mount since 1959. Why on earth would an L mount have anything to do with the M system? All that is being discussed is moving the Visoflex into the M camera. An L mount would bring video, auto-focus and huge lenses into an M body. It would be an SL4. And why would Leica release such a camera with an M label? What these people seem to want is a smaller SL. I have no issue with that, but I really can’t see an M camera with an L mount. Purchasers would want to use their APO L mount lenses, the zooms and the 50 Summilux-SL, with AF and all the other L mount benefits. It would be horrible to hold. I’m not sure which camera series such a daft camera would kill more quickly - the M or the L cameras. Maybe both! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted Monday at 08:33 PM Share #2712 Posted Monday at 08:33 PM I’ve always used M cameras with slightly larger lenses. I never found it a hardship. M8, Novoflex T in Pigriff on Visoflex iii.

M8, Novoflex T in Pigriff on Visoflex iii. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! So, now you want an AF M camera? Just to stay on topic, rather than rise to a tangential comment (for what purpose?) you can use any R mount lenses on an M camera with the existing R-M adapter. I think that rather makes my point - R lenses, no AF, R system no video … Speaking personally, I would never mount an M camera on such a set up. What would be the point, when the SL would be better suited. When I do go on safari in Africa, I will take my SL, with 24-90 zoom, 180/2.8 Elmarit-R and 2x converter. Nothing would induce me to take an M camera - not as robust, no weathersealing, no AF and no video. Your image just reinforces in my mind what a dumb idea an M camera with an L mount would be. Clearly your mileage varies (you want video in an M camera); and Leica is not immune to dumb ideas. The release, if/when it happens, will reveal all.

For what it’s worth, while I think such a camera is good for Leica, I won’t be buying one either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted Monday at 10:16 PM Share #2716 Posted Monday at 10:16 PM I still think that a dual-purpose camera would be more popular, but then, I am not Leica. I do not think that lens bulk deters many M type camera users. Just look at all the lenses that are adapted to the EVF enabled M cameras. Nor does Leica, historically speaking. The V mount accommodated lenses up to 800 mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted Tuesday at 03:21 AM Share #2718 Posted Tuesday at 03:21 AM Compactness is one of the main, if not the main reason why people prefer M and LTM lenses. Not sure what 800mm lenses have to do with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted Tuesday at 06:01 AM Share #2720 Posted Tuesday at 06:01 AM A narrow view, my lads. The M was quite a universal tool, in fact still can be. Why make things like Visoflexes and V-mount lenses from 60 to 800 mm otherwise? Why even think about EVFs? Only in this century has it been turned into a religion with some users.
