But it would be good if they finally came up with something innovative again, and not just special engravings or reissues of old designs, because the Chinese have been doing those better for a long time, and at less unrealistic prices. The EVF-M together with a 35mm Noctilux could - if they are even halfway successful - give Leica's declining position some of the much-needed tailwind. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that Leica simply hasn't debugged the EVF-M yet and doesn't want the situation with the M11 to repeat itself, which only started working 2.5 years after its release. And that's right, it's better not to rush and release a reliable camera. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted Sunday at 08:09 AM Share #1668 Posted Sunday at 08:09 AM Smogg, Your assessment might be spot on. October might be better timing. But whatever the date, I too, would much rather have a reliable M camera rather than experience another debacle. r/ Mark 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted Sunday at 09:17 AM Share #1669 Posted Sunday at 09:17 AM My M11 never stopped working since 2022 but unexpected delays for debugging could mean that the M11-V is not simply an M11 with a V... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great extra profit they are making there! they were in stock at $240 and unstuck the next day at $380. It's a bit of a sour taste really, no product haas been tariffed and made it to shelves yes. The tariff just makes retailers more money I was watching a video about how the tariffs might affect the Swiss watch industry. The presenter said that it is the importing agent who gets hit with the tariffs, not the manufacturer. Ergo price hikes do not necessarily originate in Wetzlar. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course it’s the importers responsibility to apply the tariff - it’s charged at the point of entry. The point I was trying to make, which breached forum rules (apologies to@jaapv) was that tariff increases have NOTHING to do with Leica. Leica has recently announced a general price increase, but that is quite separate to tariffs. The importer must apply the tariff, that’s a legal requirement, but the importer does have a choice: take some of the tariff out of their margin (and make less money) or pass the cost on (sales may suffer and stock financing costs increase). I will refrain for adding an opinion in the hope that this post enlightens and does not breach forum rules. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwimac Posted Sunday at 12:57 PM Share #1673 Posted Sunday at 12:57 PM Quite so. There have been some hefty increases over the past few years. This Apo 35 Summicron has increased almost NZ$2,000 in 2 years or so. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
