Perhaps the EVF-M allows cropping on its LCD. The smartphones are miles ahead of the M.

But you don't get disturbed by annoying phone calls on the M.

Only another 38 pages to go . . . .

The current Hugo line of LPL mount lenses has a few interesting anomalies compared to the base M lens set  https://www.leitz-cine.com/product/hugo

Will see in the future M mount  18/1.4 , 40/1.4 , 66/2 , and 135/1.8 ? 
( some of these might become f/1.2 lenses when de-spec’d to photo standards ; remember those 40/1.2 Noctilux images Leica rumours labelled as 35/1.2 - despite a 40mm depth of field scale printed on them )

Can a cine lens with an M mount be considered an M lens? (you have one hour before you can put down your pens) :D

Can a LTM lens with an M mount adapter be considered an M lens?
No its a lens that works on the M mount but with rangefinder coupling.

Wait. Those are the first M mount lenses. Plus the name starts with L(eica).

No. It’s an adapted lens. It will always be an LTM lens and not an M bayonet lens.

Sorry, a clear NO.
The M mount was born with the first M camera and that was the M3 in 1954 and this is the first Camera with the m mouth bayonet.
And with this camera Leica shows first time the rangefinder und the viewfinder in one window.

LTM (Leica Thread Mount) is a m39 thread to screw lenses in the  first Leicas with interchangebel Lenses.

Adapted LTM lenses do work on the M mount and have RF coupling as well. They can be pen coded through the adapter too. A LTM lens is not an M lens because... it is an LTM lens :D

Unless it's one of the early M lenses that was actually an LTM lens with an M adapter attached?

Several Leica lenses used to be sold as both LTM and M variants in the 60s and some (one?) of them did include a built-in LTM to M adapter. The "Dual Mount" Summaron 35/2.8 springs to mind but there are perhaps other examples, i don't remember sorry. Dual Mount 35/2.8 below.

I have to say, the cell phone call performance of my M11 is simply terrible. 

Not even dropped calls, but a constant failure to connect.

Can't anybody do anything right?

And the back screen is about the size of a 1998 Nokia and won't even send a text. Can't Leica do anything right???

The first version Super Angolan 21/4 could do that, too.
