reddawn Posted September 11, 2006 Share #141 Posted September 11, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) That's exactly the sequence on my Canon DSLR. huh? which Canon DSLR requires you to go to the menu to change ISO? as far as i remember, from the D30, to the 10D->20D-30D etc there's no need to go to the menu to change ISO..... same for the pro models..(1d series.)

lct Posted September 11, 2006 Share #142 Posted September 11, 2006 Blue or gray dot? Where's the VF magnification? Welcome, dear visitor!

adan Posted September 11, 2006 Share #143 Posted September 11, 2006 Lordy - let's go back to reading animal entrails to predict things. It's easier than THIS! 8^) LCT: the finder magnification only needs to be marked if there are various magnifications to be kept straight. (No finders were marked until the .85x M6 was introduced). Whatever mag. is used in the M8, it will be the same in ALL M8s, it would appear. Transparent colorless dot - that reflects color from whatever surroundings there are.

adan Posted September 11, 2006 Share #145 Posted September 11, 2006 Oh, quite crying, LCT. Just get a 1.25x magnifier. 8^) BTW an image of the shutter is also posted (LCT, gonna grab it for us?). One gray shutter leaf across the middle of the image area, just like the Konica RF and Contax G2. So that answers the meter-pattern question - center-weighted - no pattern, no spot.

wattsy Posted September 11, 2006 Share #146 Posted September 11, 2006 So that answers the meter-pattern question - center-weighted - no pattern, no spot. Pity. I've spent many years with the M 'large spot' meter and feel that it works well for me. Not a deal breaker but another change from the established M way of working.

adan Posted September 11, 2006 Share #147 Posted September 11, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ian: I consider the classic M meter centerweighted, so that's why I used the phrase. I wouldn't get too worked up until we get the real word from people actually using it. If the bar reflects the center of the image top-to-bottom, and the meter cell has a lens to 'see' only the center of the bar side-to-side, and one takes into account the smaller image area - the net result may be a metering area rather close to the big spot on big film in the M6-7-P.

Leicaiste Posted September 11, 2006 Share #148 Posted September 11, 2006 AFAIK, there are 3 meter cells in the camera. Spot, wide and flash ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierovitch Posted September 11, 2006 Share #149 Posted September 11, 2006 My bet is on a remote control sensor. All the missing controls are on the rear display. Software patching is usually cheaper than hardware modification. Except for the lens barcode which is cheaper than putting in chips.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 11, 2006 Share #152 Posted September 11, 2006 Well if you have your hand in the sand too long you do need to come for air once in awhile. Let's face facts this is a digital world and leica needs to in it or die a slow death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ross Posted September 11, 2006 Share #153 Posted September 11, 2006 Sorry guys , i simply can't buy this as real, it looks really nice in many ways but i am seeing stuff that is just flat out too odd looking and no camera would look identical to the DMR. they just won't use exactly the same buttons. just call me a non believer on these images of it. Maybe i am wrong but Leica has held there ground on talk for this long , I find it hard to believe these images if real would not have been pulled. the only folks that have seen this are beta testers,retailers,distrubiutors and sales reps. if any of them put these out there would be far too high a price to be paid. I will wait till Friday than maybe i will eat crow but I doubt it Hi Guy, Well, my reality meter is stuck on 80% real & 20% fake;) I think they may be real pictures of the tenth null series test body, but we don't know how many test bodies there were or how they differed from each other. In other words, what these pictures accomplish is to sooth our worries, create discussion and could act as a DECOY, so that we will be surprised. Some of this idea is based on the rumors around the successor to Oly's E-1. There have been several sightings of field test bodies and one statement that there are at least nine different versions out for testing. Leica has always extensively field tested the M bodies and I think our concerns here are just echos of those voiced by the pros who did the field testing. When we see a body with a production serial number, we'll know how the concerns were answered. Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 11, 2006 Share #154 Posted September 11, 2006 Bob these are probably the camera just they way it looks , really looks fake. It does not look like i put it on white seamless and took a picture of it. There is not a spec of dust , which really makes it look unreal and i never saw a photo of a body look that plastic. Looks more like a illustration than a photo and that is really what is bugging me about it and the edges are to sharp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfleica Posted September 11, 2006 Share #155 Posted September 11, 2006 Don't know where this should sit...perhaps a new thread? Anyway, I am not sure if this is a fake, but this forum has some interesting news: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/ Looks like info about an Rd-2 with 12mp+ and full frame CMOS with 1/4000 top shutter speed.

rfleica Posted September 11, 2006 Share #156 Posted September 11, 2006 I have looked at the links further....and...apologies if this is all old news....but it is FAKE. I should have checked the pdf etc first. Anyway, just for those with idle curiosity, here is the full link: Epson R-D2 aktuell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ross Posted September 11, 2006 Share #157 Posted September 11, 2006 . There is not a spec of dust ,which really makes it look unreal and i never saw a photo of a body look that plastic. You have a point there, Guy. Here is a plastic body complete with dust..... Welcome, dear visitor!

Looks more like a illustration than a photo and that is really what is bugging me about it and the edges are to sharp There is a point in these discussions where you drift off into never-never land, and this point may have been reached. However, if it hasn't been, I've got another push that could take us there... In the strip-tease photos of the camera, we've got a complete shot of the lens, from the front, with symetrical reflections top and bottom, n'est-ce pas? So where is the reflection of the camera and the photographer who took the picture? Eh? It's looking more and more like another conspiracy put in motion by the Illuminati, if you ask me.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 11, 2006 Share #160 Posted September 11, 2006 John i maybe crazy and i would never argue that one but after 30 years of photography I simply can't buy that as real. i could go on further but i made my point about it.
