This is a great thread. I'm still using my M9 Monochrom. That thing feels bomb proof, it just goes, every time. It did develop sensor corrosion, but Leica fixed that, and zero issues since. I've taken a lot of pictures with it, and looking through them, they seem closer to the look of film than any other digital camera I've used.

As much as people say the M10 is the sweet spot in M digital cameras, I wonder if the M12 is going to be the one which claims that title. Leica have nearly 20 years experience of digital Ms now, and they do listen to the feedback they get. 

If they can make the M12 3mm shorter - and I bet they do - it will be back to the precise dimensions of a classic Wetzlar M. I bet they also simplify it, so no triple resolution sensor, and an even more pared down interface. Perhaps, finally, a screen which doesn't protrude from the back of the camera. And if they manage to squeeze in an image stabiliser - again I bet they do - that will open up a whole new world. I can see a brass and black paint M12 being extremely covetable, not to mention, a superb picture making machine.

Im still oke with the m10 form factor despite 3mm taller, reason being im home with my M6TTL black paint film cameras 😅😅 but as soon as i use the other like MP or M2r… dang i feel the difference right off the bat

Totally, just a few mm in height, you wouldn't think it makes a difference. Same when I switch from M11 to M2, if I'm gripping the camera holding the top and bottom, the M2 just fits that little bit better in the hand.
