T25UFO Posted June 26 Share #41 Posted June 26 Advertisement (gone after registration) 27 minutes ago, c.t. said: Seeing that the camera has no frameline selector and both lenses it comes with are 50mm, I'm guessing there's only one set of framelines (for 50mm) in the viewfinder. No, frame lines are automatically selected when you mount the lens. The selector simply lets you preview what another lens would look like without actually mounting it.

I think the knurling on the dials and the engraving are georgeous. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted June 26 Share #43 Posted June 26 I genuinely hope whoever gets one of these anniversary cameras enjoys them> Sadly there's nothing for me to aspire to here. Not even the headline limited edition of a camera that's a niche in itself. Oh well, I'll get out and enjoy what I have! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenInTime Posted June 26 Share #45 Posted June 26 Other than as a shelf queen, no lugs only makes sense if the is a leather case included ( as there was with the 0-series replica - I cut the top off mine to make it a half case compatible with a SBOOI ). The Anastigmat-M will be interesting if it makes it into serial production ( a used 0-series replica complete with fixed lens will likely cost less ).

pgh Posted June 26 Share #48 Posted June 26 5 hours ago, charlesphoto99 said: I get it, anniversary and all. But I think many of us wish we could use the 'pedestrian' Leica cameras we just bought but have had to go off for service for a month or six (my M10-R black paint has now had two extended vacations, one right out of the box). Redoing their customer service and quality control would be a legacy for all users, not just a rarefied few. Yea but then they would cannibalize their secret internal revenue boosting program codenamed “It came with problems? Here, just buy another one while you wait 6 months!” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IkarusJohn Posted June 26 Share #51 Posted June 26 It’s a lovely thing, and I hope it sells well. These cameras need to be used - they’re digital, so no value as collector’s items. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted June 26 Share #52 Posted June 26 What a load of Leica BS, it's not celebrating anything other than another over-priced ornament. It would have been classy if they'd opened a lottery for getting one at the equivalent of original price given such an amazing anniversary. I dare say more people would have coughed up for a chance on the lottery and Leica would have made more money, but dreams are not what Leica do, it's avarice and the biggest wallet wins the award. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember "Opening up new pork markets..." You get a clue about the new target demographic from where the '100 Year' events are located. "Over the course of 2025, we will be celebrating the 100-year history of our iconic Leica I camera with high-calibre events in Dubai, Milan, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo" And of course Wetzlar. Wot, no UK. It's ok 'cause you and I wouldn't have been invited. They might have missed a trick as the Chinese love a flutter, so your idea may have gone well!

phojomatic Posted June 26 Share #56 Posted June 26 An interesting collector item for sure, the box (case?) alone is something I’ve never seen even with Leica. I’m sure these are all sold out, but what’s odd is that my email said Spring 2026 delivery. With firm dates in 2025 for other 100 years gear announced today. The book, etc. but what I’m most intrigued on is the idea of the 1,000,000 M with serial number 6 million. Leica is already past 6 million (see attached) in 2024. So I guess they blocked out these numbers a long time ago. Welcome, dear visitor!

evikne Posted June 26 Share #58 Posted June 26 Sadly, even though I admire the M11-D, I think the 100-year-old Leica I looks so much better than its great-great-grandchild. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiring far less internal 'packaging' helps in these matters quite a lot. Plus it didn't have to deal with the "Where shall we fit all this rangefinder gubbins?' problem... 😸 But yes; a Leica 1 is a lovely thing indeed. Time for gratuitous photographs methinks?
